Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake just endorsed Democrat Jon Ossoff. Flake says he is still a conservative Republican, but character matters more than party. Flake warns Mike Collins would be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump. #GASen #CharacterMatters

Nutmegger transplant to RVA. Too broke to retire. Loves to read, knit, still working on that future blog. Finally understand the meaning of the Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.” Like, I get it.
"The Minocqua Brewing Company — which previously courted controversy when owner Kirk Bangstad claimed he would offer free beer when President Donald Trump dies — announced a half-price beer deal for whenever the 84-year-old Kentucky senator’s death is made public."
WI Brewery Promises Beer Deal When Mitch Mcconnell Dies
They'll be drinking on the cheap at this Wisconsin brewery the day 84-year-old Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) death is announced.

Donald Trump: "I'm going to raise tariffs and start a war to make everything more expensive for no reason." MAGA: "I can't afford to support my family because Joe Biden made schoolchildren trans."
1. Now-deleted audio shows that Acting AG Todd Blanche privately told faith leaders the DOJ is working to make the 2022 Dobbs decision, which revoked federal abortion protections, “permanent in every single state.” Blanche also suggested a crackdown on the mailing of abortion pills.🧵
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
I’m withdrawing from my reelection to spend more time with my old ugly hag of a wife instead of those young beautiful staffers, who definitely will think I’m super hot if I keep propositioning them, because I don’t want to give my wife half my 💩 or pay alimony. ~ Chuck Edwards (NC-R)
Ohio voters could change the direction of the entire country in November. That starts with electing Democrats up and down the ballot — including fighters like Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton! I can tell Ohio Democrats are ready to win, and I’m going to do everything I can to help them.
Bravo, Senator Whitehouse. You, unlike you Republican colleagues, obviously did not have your fingers crossed when you raised your right hand and swore to defend the Constitution. God Bless you Sir.
I just woke up and Senator WhiteHouse is talking. Oh my God. Everyone needs to be out on the streets. This is not a good thing putting Blanche in. This is an actual hit on America as if it was the mafia that themselves doing it. People if you are not afraid, you should be. 
Some ppl see The red-lipped batfish, I see a WhiteHouse fundraiser. Whatever
Whitehouse on Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell: "It was to get exculpatory information about Donald Trump and then reward her ... How often does a prisoner allegedly facing threats or danger get moved to a less secure facility? Think about it. It doesn't pass the test of common sense."
Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."
Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."
Whitehouse on Blanche: "Today is a sad and embarrassing day"

ICC CHIEF PROSECUTOR: “Oppose Israel and we will go after your family — You have been warned. Rubio, McConnell sent me a letter… what’s liberating is accepting mortality.”
Morning Joe gives a long platform, many minutes to Rand Paul to spew absurd, irrelevent CONSPIRACY theories Come on, do not give lunatic conspiracy theories a platform @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social
MS: One of your criticisms of Fauci is that he said one thing publicly, where he sort of downplayed the virus, & one thing privately, where he acknowledge its seriousness. President Trump did exact the same thing. Does Trump deserve the same level of scrutiny? RAND PAUL: *immediately changes topic*
Because trump said it will hurt his friends... Wait... The President of the U.S. said he has friends in the Epstein files and nobody flinched? Even IF he wasn't in them And continues to hide them Then he is compromised And should be questioned and removed from office, charged for obstruction.
Release the Epstein files! NOW!
The racist trope is similar to the Blk male trope of violence and misogyny against (white) women. This trope for Muslim men is more prevalent in the uk who talk about grooming gangs of Muslim men. This is to distract from the gangs of men assaulting women are wealthy Epstein friends
Perhaps the most incredible headline of this cycle.
NEWS: Former Trump press secretary and Rep. Max Miller's ex-girlfriend, Stephanie Grisham, has now filed a temporary restraining order against him
Another Grift Tariffs were just another big Trump scam Apple got 2.2 billion in tariff returns Amazon got 600 million Walmart 10 billion Target & Costco 2 billion Many other corporations got hundrends of millions And we were the ones they passed tariff costs down too.So where is our money?
Maybe the reason Donald doesn’t think what Max Miller is accused of doing to his ex-wife is a big deal is because of what Donald did to *his* ex-wife. In a sworn deposition, Ivana Trump said Donald, angry over a painful anti-balding procedure, yanked tufts of hair off her head and then raped her.
Jeanine Pirro: Who the fck folds an umbrella *chugs Zinfandel out of box
If Trump removes Jeanine Pirro as is being reported I may never stop laughing.
Any journalist who asks the next democratic president about how they plan to unite the country and you know at least one of them will, should be immediately thrown out of the room, srsly.
Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
The pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC has spent a jaw-dropping $30M+ in tomorrow's Democratic primaries in Michigan and Missouri. But if you saw their attack ads, you'd never know it was them. Watch.

Democrats are strongly favored to take the House, while the Senate tilts Democratic in this new election forecast for the 2026 congressional midterms. It puts Democrats at above even odds to take control of BOTH chambers.

The president of the United States is a mentally deranged con man and a pathological liar.
They’re going to do anything they can to scare us away from the polls. We cannot let them. We have to leave our comfort zones, talk to more people and do the work to make sure every voter knows their voice matters. We are going to vote. We are going to win. Leadership Matters!!
This is a very big deal. Donald Trump is screwing with seniors on fixed incomes, causing them to pay more for drugs they need to stay alive.

Program that held down premiums won’t be renewed for 2027, resulting in higher costs for some seniors.
