Former NFL players decry White House video mixing big hits, airstrikes The Trump administration released a video on X using footage of Ray Lewis, Chad Ochocinco and other former NFL players juxtaposed with war footage.

The fact that the GOP's Ku Klux Kaucus in the Senate & House is getting even louder and more unabashed and more hoods-off should be something that we all see, address, call out, and make an issue out of for EVERY Republican running for office.

Not so long ago, hugging Hitler was one of those lines you just didn’t cross.

But that’s what’s been happening with increasing regularity, revealed by a recent string of unhinged text chains among young Republicans.

There's an old saying among campaign field organizers: "Signs don't vote, people vote."

The #ILSen version - unfortunately for @congressmanraja.bsky.social @rajaforil.bsky.social Krishnamoorthi and fortunately for @julianastratton.bsky.social - is "PAC's don't vote, people vote."

Democratic Turnout Surges in Mississippi’s US Senate Primaries, Nearly Matching GOP Total Mississippi Democrats turned out in large numbers in the March 10 midterm primaries, nearly matching the total number of Republican votes cast.

NEW: Democratic turnout surged in Mississippi's U.S. Senate primaries Tuesday—coming within about 7,000 votes of matching GOP turnout.

About 156,000 Democrats voted on Tuesday—up from just 87,931 in 2018, the last midterm Senate primary.

Scott Colom says it shows he can beat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
