I don't find the Schmitt Senate fiasco remotely funny. It's just McCarthyism but more incompetent. It's appalling, & a constitutional order that can't end this level of unserious lying & extremist nonsense isn't worth saving. We need massive institutional reform to make sure it never happens again.

Fetterman is garbage. He betrays the people who fought for him when he was at his lowest point - and that fight is the only reason he’s in the senate. Now he’s actively working to raise money for Republican PACs.

Holy shit, this ad! I cannot imagine the impetus for pardoning this guy. But I’m not even sure it matters. Kind of along the lines of that Roger Marshall ad. If you’re explaining you’re losing.

What Troy Jackson has is a gruff, sometimes endearing authenticity, which energizes volunteers. He is a pure Mainer. Taking that away from him, as Chuck Schumer’s out-of-state transplants seem to be doing, isn’t exactly smart. buff.ly/WKXoN3p

Several times, people have called in missing persons reports after family or friends disappear, leaving abandoned cars or children and pets waiting. It only became clear what happened when they popped up in ICE’s locator. Now, they’ll simply disappear, potentially to never be heard from again

Every reporter who was on board Air Force One when Trump abandoned it as a decoy to be attacked knows exactly which administration staffers were also left as sitting ducks there. There's a real opportunity here to get some inside dirt from people who have every right to be bitter and spiteful.

The us-vs-them narrative is an effort to divide and conquer. Each voter and each candidate is entitled to our own menu of diverse views. We debate to test our ideas, attempt to persuade others, and reach consensus.

A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.

it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption
Within hours, the White House agreed the patient surveys painted a clear picture, the people said. In an internal call, the White House aides approved statements from the public health agencies for public release — though they still only identified Taco Bell as linked to the outbreak, without naming Taylor Farms specifically.
Taco Bell moved first, releasing a statement. While it did not explicitly name Taylor Farms it said it believed "public health is a shared responsibility among restaurants, their suppliers, and authorities, and we are proud to have consistently acted quickly and proactively to protect our guests."
The agency updates on the outbreak were finally posted after 10 p.m. New York time - hours behind schedule - and also omitted directly naming Taylor Farms or saying if the company would recall products.
