If this was a boxing match the ref would’ve called the fight well before this. Ossoff is an excellent debater and Collins is comically terrible. Another brilliant Trump endorsement.

Think about how epically terrible you have to be as a Trump appointee to actually get fired. I mean, Hegseth and Patel are still in their positions. The bar for standards of ethics and competence has never been lower in the history of the country, but some still can’t clear it.

This week, our Hindu neighbors celebrate the Goddess Durga during the festival of Navaratri. 

Our neighbors will dance Garba, venerate the Goddess Durga with Sindur Khela, receive Tika from elders, set up Golu in their homes, and so much more.

Whether your family calls it Durga Puja, Dashain, Dussehra, or Navratri, may this festival mark a season of reflection and renewal.

"The core belief of the MAGA movement is we won the 2020 election," former Trump aide Steve Bannon said in an interview. The alarming statement — in addition to Bannon's admission that he's still trying to get Trump to run for a third term — underscores MAGA's commitment to disrupting the midterms.
