Any chance that you can leave the word “Georgia” out when speaking of MTG? Many of would like to keep that fact out of the news as much as possible 🙄

I’ve always found all the Dem handwringing over Kennedy’s campaign to be odd. His platform and policy positions (if you can call them that) seem designed to court “Never Trump” voters and/or armchair conspiracy theorists. It’s weird this is just now dawning on 45.

I really think he was convinced the Kennedy name would undermine Biden. I can understand that to a point - but once you examine RFK Jr's record, that's just not the case.

The Ukraine-first bill was a middle finger to the United States," said Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

How about this ‘new rule’

If you avoid the vote on the Senate Floor, you don’t get to criticize the bill

Gutless Rand

Failed to stand

When called

So with that he falls

To be a footnote

Since he failed to vote

Please sit down

Rather than get around

Not living up to a basic responsibility

Hoping to avoid accountability

Thanks for your endless snapshots following up on the J6 perpetrators. Some headline events fade away over time, but others become snapshots that nobody forgets. Like the moon landing and 9/11 the attack on the Capitol will be common knowledge for generations. It will not be forgotten.

The Zelenskyy note is a reminder how closely he and others follow American politics. What happens in Washington receives granular scrutiny everywhere. Speaking of which, I just came across an unsettling New Republic piece about exactly that. There is a blizzard of ads but I didn't encounter a paywall.

Those poor “hostages” rotting in Joe Biden’s jailhouse. All they did was come to Washington when Donald asked. All they did was march to the Capital when Donald asked. All they did was give a backbone so RINOs would do the right thing like Donald asked.

And this is how they’re treated. SMH.

For a brief moment two weeks ago, the adults were in charge of the House. I see based upon the agenda for this coming week that the kindergarten is back in charge.

You should pretty much expect messaging bills each week from the House GOP.
