Referenced this yesterday in a post. The guy lives in Florida. More notable is that half of the GOP Congress seems to live there. Like Mike R and Tommy T. It’s part of MAGA identity. Like red hats and bad plastic surgery.

In a private discussion today this came up: “We need the January 6th Commission hearings, for DOGE.” One could do a lot with NIH and NSF alone. There are clinical trials that ended, patients that died, young people leaving the US… and bad stuff that happened inside the agencies.

What makes the outbreak of Trump scrubbing off GOP websites particularly chancy is a lot of these candidates only had any juice BECAUSE they were close to Trump or endorsed by him. Without that many aren't particularly strong candidates.

It appears that Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) sent a fundraising email via an email distribution domain from the conservative social media platform Parler. ("Free Speech Daily" sends emails through "parlermailer[dot]com.")
"A Special Message from our Sponsor
Please note that views expressed in this message do not necessarily reflect those of Free Speech Daily and do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by Free Speech Daily.

Dear Friend who has common sense,

I'm always going to stand with America.

I'm always going to reject the extremes.

I'm always going to reject Socialism.

I'm always going to fight against the anti-American way of life.

And this has enraged a lot of people in the media, in my party, and even former staffers --- disgruntled leakers who are viciously and anonymously attacking me.

This is what happens when you put common sense and the wellbeing of the people you are supposed to represent ahead of party loyalty.

But most of all, I think this is what happens when you clash with the Socialist movement "DSA!" that is hijacking the Democratic party.

They want to...

Abolish our borders

Abolish the electoral college

Abolish Israel

Abolish the Senate and the Supreme Court (no, seriously, this is in the "DSA!" platform)

That bad news is the "DSA!" crazies have gone from the political fringe to controlling one of America's major political parties—and onto ballots across the country.

The good news is the hardworking, common-sense Americans I talk to every day still aren't buying it.

I mean, a recent Rasmussen poll kind of proves it:

71% of Americans reject socialism

67% of Democrat voters reject socialism

While 82% of Republican voters reject socialism

But here's the thing.  The loudest voice in the room is often the one that looks the most powerful."And I've got to say, the "DSA!" voices in Washington are loud and getting louder.  The media is their megaphone.

Which is why you may be under the false impression that people really do want the "DSA!" and their extreme policies

Nothing could be further from the truth.

I'm standing up to them.

But sadly I'm pretty much alone on this side of the aisle.

So, can I ask you a favor?

Whatever your party affiliation is, can I ask you to stand with me against the daily barrage of hit-pieces

If you can donate just $25 it would be a big help to me.

But it will also send a message.  It will show the truth that the "real numbers" are on our side here in Pennsylvania, as well as around the rest of America.

You know, I recently stood in front of the iconic U.S. Steel Mill and recorded a video talking about how my friend Dave McCormick and I banded together with President Trump to save this facility and the larger steel industry.  But I'm not backing down.

...

John Fetterman

P.S. - I'll bet you're more than a little surprised to get this email from me. So, I want to say thanks for setting aside party affiliation for a second and hearing me out. You see, I'm not a progressive. And I'm definitely not a Democratic Socialist. I'm just a senator with a big mouth who happens to stand for common-sense things like... strong borders, safe streets, a powerful economy, bringing jobs to my constituents, and Israel and Ukraine's right to defend themselves, not to mention the basic machinery of our democracy (the Electoral College, the Senate, and the Supreme Court). If you see eye-to-eye with me, then I could sure use your help. The "DSA!" vision for Pennsylvania and for America is not a healthy one. It is a dangerous one.Common-sense people need to join together now to reject this vision before it's too late. Can I count on you to stand with me today?
