"The accusation that there is rampant cheating in our election is dramatic, alarming, and oft-repeated. It is also totally false." The GOP's "SAVE America Act" is not about saving election integrity. @senangusking.bsky.social on the voter fraud fraud:

There just isn’t evidence of significant election cheating—but that won’t stop the GOP from pushing its dangerous SAVE America Act.

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.
On Fox News, the anchor Will Cain choked up on-air as he read aloud President Trump's announcement of the death of Charlie Kirk. "I don't know where we go from here as a news program," Mr. Cain told viewers, "and I don't know where we go from here in America."
Megyn Kelly, streaming live on YouTube, was tearful even before the news was confirmed, sobbing with her guest, Glenn Beck of The Blaze.
She described Mr. Kirk as a friend who supported her even when her relations with the MAGA world were strained. "I am so sorry to be bringing you this news," Ms. Kelly told her audience. Later

The Netanyahu Regime is out of control and out of its mind. This is the most deranged Israeli politics has been in my lifetime. Whatever sickness infected parts of America has infected Israel also. There’s a sadism—a bloodlust—behind Israeli policy that has nothing to do with Judaism or goodness.

Florida officials took $10M from a Medicaid fraud settlement - meant for taxpayers - and sent it to Casey DeSantis’ foundation. That money flowed to dark money groups and a DeSantis-run PAC. It funded political ads, not aid. This is misuse of public funds at the highest level.
