Thank you to Wesley Hunt for making it a 3-way race and forcing an expensive and brutal runoff between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton,

The Democratic Party

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.

Republicans are still stuck at zero.

Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

Hegseth: "This is what the fake news misses. We've taken control of Iran's airspace & waterways without boots on the ground. But when a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it's front page news. I get it- the press only wants to make POTUS look bad, but try for once to report the reality"

He’s like a really bad actor in a 1980s B action movie that went straight to video.

Students were informed about "exciting" legal internships at Labor Department.

At CBS News, where staffers are apparently barred from reading history books, the hostilities between Iran and the US don’t begin until 1979.

Mockler: The idea that James Talarico hasn't run on anything affirmative is not true. He's been running on a bunch of 80/20 issues like banning congressional stock trading, redistributing wealth from billionaires. That's very popular…

Republicans have caused total chaos in Dallas County. It's instructive.

Whether or not Trump attempts some sort of executive order to nationalize election administration, Republicans have an endless number of paths to create absolute mayhem in November.

Jared Polis, Gov of Colorado, just pardoned Tina Peters (a 2020 election conspiracist who broke the law) at the demand of Trump
