Graham came off as a mean spirited, resentful, ignoramus.
Annie Andrews rips into her amateur opponent: "If your surgeon said appendectomies weren't really his thing, would you hand him a scalpel? No. So why would we hand Darline Graham a full term in the U.S. Senate? She is unserious and she is unqualified."
The South Carolina Senate Race Is Not a Guarantee For Graham. South Carolina! You Have An Opportunity Here For a New Beginning & To Choose a New Senator. To Close The Door On The Graham Name Forever. He Was a Disgrace, Embarrassment & a Stain On The State VOTE For Dr Annie Andrews! VOTE BLUE 💙🗳️🌊

The Talarico nonsense being spread by GOP influencers is a typical republican “scandal” - lots of BREAKING!! And 🚨 but no actual substance. If anyone from the Paxton campaign coordinated with influencers to spread these lies, people should go to prison, and Talarico should sue the fuck out of them.
BREAKING: NEW YORK (AP) - Judge orders Trump administration to cancel taxpayer-funded TV ads that promote his political message.
Elon just blasted his home address to his 240 million followers along with his order number and last 4 of his Amex charge card while shilling grok bot. Someone else canceled his order.
Elon Musk and MAGA influencers tried to push a “BOMBSHELL” to destroy James Talarico. Then their smear fell apart under the most basic scrutiny. Now THEIR tactics are raising serious legal questions—and one admitted “public humiliation” was the goal. This backfired spectacularly.

Donald Trump pardoned Jake Lang last year. That’s the reason why he is able to be here doing this. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Far-right nationalist Jake Lang, who has made antisemitic remarks and performed a Nazi salute, and a group chant in support of Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers: “Mike Rogers for Senate!”
And they left in droves while he was still yapping his nonsense.
Trump is the great destroyer. Killing 500 healthy trees.

Trump came to Tennessee, called me out by name, and brought my career-politician opponent on stage. Brent Taylor won’t debate. He’s running on bringing Trump’s failed agenda to Tennessee. And they are scared. Thread ⬇️

One day after the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Association of Evangelicals came out against the Pentagon’s plan to livestream an execution, Pope Leo has published a tweet reiterating the Catholic Church’s opposition to the death penalty.
