Scoop: Schumer stopped by a fundraiser last night in DC for SCOTT COLOM, Dem Senate candidate in deep-red Mississippi, per two sources. Colom is facing GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. (Fun fact: Colom was nominated by Biden for a federal judgeship and blocked by… Cindy Hyde-Smith.)
a statement from Fauci's lawyers says Rand Paul has "an intense & seemingly pathological course of retribution, revenge, & obsession with Dr. Fauci ... The accusations that Chairman Paul continues to propagate are false and disgraceful, and we will examine all options to hold him accountable."
"And the Arch, by the way, would be made of John McCain's bones and Joe Lieberman's hair. And he wakes up every morning and urinates on it. But not in the pee pee tape way, something that doesn't exist. In a way that says 'Freedom.'"
Aaron RuparHannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."
Proud as ever that I supported Lamb (and then Fetterman when he won the primary). The difference between Platner and Fetterman, though, is that most of the folks around Fetterman do say he changed wildly after his stroke. That data point shouldn't be ignored.
August J. PollakSince these guys love comparing Fetterman to Platner I'll say exactly what I said about both: "The left" isn't the majority. He won the primary in a goddamn landslide. Every fucking county in the state. The fault here was in the party not running an opponent who wasn't pure barrel-aged dogshit.
"Rahm can’t talk Democratic voters out of the candidates they picked, and he cannot undo the primaries that are now done and settled. Nobody can, and trying to only causes damage. Who needs a Ted Kennedy ad when Rahm will do the job for free?" betterdonkey.substack.com/p/rahm-the-t...

WSJ accuses Mayor Mamdani of antisemitism because he condemns genocide—meanwhile publishes bigoted anti-Muslim caricature of him. No wonder Americans no longer trust legacy media. It’s dead. Support independent media instead. See you on my human rights platform at www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe ❤️✊🏽

Rahm can STFU and help or get out of the way. But the idea he's peddling that left candidates somehow uniquely give the GOP an effective bogeyman to tie around mods in purple districts goes against all modern GOP campaign history. I lay the wood down here. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/rahm-the-t...

Keith EdwardsNBC's kristen welker was caught laughing it up with Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller who architected the family separation policy. Stephen Miller who pushed the Muslim travel ban. Stephen Miller who oversaw the killing of Americans by ICE agents. This is why independent media is crucial.
PSA. I had some Yukon Golds and not much else to make them as a side tonight and lemme tell you, this is the best recipe ever for em. I didn't have rosemary so I just used garlic and shallot. It was fantastic. www.seriouseats.com/the-best-roa...

Aaron RuparWELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail
The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028. They did not boo. They did not walk out. They just sat there and ate their dinner. The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.
Imagine shaking hands with the man you exposed as a pedophile. It’s time to kill off the president’s role in this awards ceremony. Trump grins and throws up his hands repeatedly as the Wall Street Journal receives an award for their coverage of Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein
