interesting to contrast the damage done to our European alliances by ideology, Russia-love and hate for democracy vs damage done by appointing these behind the music crash-out freaks who create their own independent scandals.

My MAGA focus group felt betrayed by tariffs, high gas prices, and inflation. I asked if there was any way Republicans could win back their support, and they replied only if they could prove that the pain had fallen harder on Black people.

Today, I'm releasing my Farmers Over Billionaires platform to champion Michigan farmers. Our broken politics has always favored corporations, monopolies, and billionaires over Michigan rural communities and family farms. That ends when I get to the United States Senate.

I'm a little unclear whether Trump's Russia diesel deal is even real. Russia's refining capacity has been devastated by Ukrainian drone strikes. Do they really have any surplus diesel to sell us?

WAS THIS WARRANTED This video shows Ben Braver. He's a democrat who is running for the Florida State House. Today he was arrested and thrown to the ground by police.Because he heckled JD Vance. Is this what free speech looks like under Trump?

NEW AD: Today on House Hunters, Ken Paxton is shopping for a new house. Will he buy the three-story luxury lodge in Oklahoma? The condos at a wellness resort in Utah? The ocean-view property in Hawaii? (Spoiler alert: He won’t take one — he’ll take 15.)

Mike Rogers was a leading advocate for boosting opioid prescriptions. He took over $1M from Big Pharma. He has always prioritized personal profit over the health and safety of Michiganders. That's not public safety. Watch our new ad, "Safe."

Most current GOP candidates focus on racial gerrymandering and purging African-Americans from the executive ranks of institutions like the military. But one GOP candidate likely to enter the Fla legislature appears to support literal lynching
