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.)

What Schmitt overlooked was that Jack Smith and Fani Willis actually met at the airport and secretly tapped out messages to each other’s shoes in adjoining bathroom stalls. He could’ve salvaged his VP dream.

The faces of Schmitt and his staffer found themselves in a red state. Schmitt realized he blew his chance to be JD’s running mate.

Trump has ordered another 40M bbl withdrawn from the SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve), nearly halving it from February's 418M bbl to 242M bbl. Federal law restricts it going below 252.4 unless it's an emergency. Midterm desperation doesn't qualify. Between this & Fed debt we're running out of room.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

It's amazing to see a player stay with a team for their entire career and we may rarely if not ever see this again for all we know. Curry could've gone ring chasing and the Warriors could've offered far less to rebuild. Opposite LeBron who is chasing rings then partnered with Kalshi to compensate.

Ask what impact there’d be if 1 in 150K votes was potentially fraudulent. Weigh that against the Federal govt having a national DB with all your most sensitive data. The avg Congressional district has 550K potential voters. 21750 races in 100 years. Only 1 decided by 4 votes.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.
