Another secret Paxton recording, and this time he’s admitting he doesn’t even control his own campaign. “I don’t control the message or what we’re doing.” “I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control over the campaign. It’s all coming, you know, from DC.” www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

Black and white photo of a light skinned man wearing a plaid sports coach and watch in a skinny dark colored tie. He is looking down at a long-haired grey kitten that he cradles in his hands.
