I say we tally up all the times JD Vance has brought up the subject of transgender kids in public and all the times Talarico has brought it up to see exactly which one's hard drive we need to inspect.

I guarantee you, Husted would have given anything to not have Trump come campaign for him, but he couldn't say no. Then he had to stand there smiling and laughing at Trump's weird jokes while his campaign went down the tubes.

Ken Paxton rang in the new year by partying in Dubai with his mistress and two fugitives fleeing the law - one of whom is a major Paxton donor. Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas history.

when something scary happens to ilhan i think about this photo. you’d never know from how brave she is that she isn’t seven feet tall. we’ve all got to have her back, because she isn’t just some character on capitol hill, she’s a real human, with real children, who deserves to be safe in her home.
me and ilhan and i am big and she is tiny

This is what happens when you elevate “civil discourse” to be the greatest good. All of the sudden, it’s worse to call someone a Nazi than it is to be a Nazi.

Holy smokes. What on earth is going on here? This is not fact-checking! At best it's poorly-informed nonsense but it feels very much like calculated misinformation. #MEpolitics
PolitiFact tweet: Troy Jackson said that Susan Collins “put people like Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court that took away Roe v. Wade.”

Collins did vote for Kavanaugh but it’s misleading to draw a direct line between Collins and Roe v. Wade’s end.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Trump’s midterm convention was a ratings dud, even on Fox
The ratings stand in stark contrast with the president’s claims about viewership.

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.
