Weekend scoop from me for @votebeat.org: Two GOP members of Georgia’s State Election Board say Executive Director James Mills sent letters to DOJ and DHS without telling the board or getting approval — and that the letters went beyond what the board voted to request. www.votebeat.org/national/202...

High prices and rising borrowing costs are squeezing family budgets, forcing more Americans to cut back on things like bowling and dining out. For many families, fun is becoming increasingly out of reach. This is Donald Trump’s economy.

Funny. I cannot recall any "diplomat" seeing their net worth rise by roughly 📈 $100 million to $200 million since taking the position. Yet Jared Kushner has. So, spare me any BS about his job description. It has nothing to do with diplomacy.

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.
