I get that there’s more to politics than zingers, but stuff like this is more than just a gotcha. It’s making these guys squirm and reminding voters exactly who they are. Don’t give them daylight to pretend they’re just good ‘ol Americans worried about the economy. They’re smash and grab Nazis.

Jon Ossoff didn’t just show up to debate Mike Collins. He owned the stage. Calm, confident, prepared, and in complete control. Collins, on the other hand, looked like he regretted showing up.

Ossoff: "I absolutely believe that Mike Collins would have been among those standing in the schoolhouse door ... Here in Georgia, where we are so proud of our legacy as the cradle of civil rights, I'll be damned if I'm gonna let a man like Collins win this race and represent GA for the next 6 years"

Ossoff: "They've unleashed federal agents to kill Americans on the streets of our cities with impunity. That's Mike Collins's immigration policy. And that's what you'd expect from the bigot congressman who called for executed immigrants by throwing to their deaths out of helicopters."

Last April, Alyssa (a RN) and her partner came to the Nanaimo Infusion from their home in New York. Just to check out the Island. Just in case. Today, they arrived in their new home: Port Alberni. Alyssa starts at West Coast General Hospital soon. 🙂 Welcome home, you two 🇨🇦

NEW: Social Security is a sleeper 2026 campaign issue. Senate candidates like Talarico (D-Texas), Turek (D-Iowa), El-Sayed (D-Mich.), Osborn (I-Neb.) are calling to lift the payroll tax cap to avoid a 22% benefit cut. The shortfall hits in 2032, or six years. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
nbcnews.com
Senate candidates run on raising Social Security taxes for higher incomes to prevent benefit cuts
Social Security is projected to dip into insolvency and force a 22% benefit cut in 2032, or less than six years, meaning the class of senators elected this year will have to address the issue.

Exactly. @jamellebouie.net explains very well how the Clerk of the Congress and the Parliamentarians are those with the ministerial responsibility to start the process of seating members of the 120th Congress. Only after the 120th has been seated is a Speaker of the House elected
