Look, I love my country. I wish we had strong competent leadership in charge. But that’s just not in the cards right now.

The damage is sustained and deepening under Trump. The moral and economic rot settling in as the norm.

Change is badly needed, and damn fast..

Hunter Biden dismantles Jake Tapper and the Trump boys in one epic takedown lol

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

Democrats looking good in California, with a roughly 59/41 total voting margin in both major races.

The right guy Josh Turek at the right time in Iowa, now fully in play.

Six prime Senate targets now - NC, Maine, Alaska, Iowa, Texas, Ohio. Dems need any combination of four.

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

don’t think any deal will stand with the US or Israel. Who believes anything either one says at this point?
And Iran is no better.

All three countries are serial liars.

The ceasefires are a joke. There are no real ceasefires anywhere.

The job isn’t finished because we can’t finish it. All we have is buffoonish tweets.

@Caseymoe_816 @ChanceLiebau If he’s effective, why not keep him here??

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

Not much you can say about the Royals.

Strahm, Erceg, and Schreiber give up a run each in the 8th, 9th, and 10th, wasting a dominant effort from Cameron.

It’s laughable at this point. Witt, Sal, Vinnie, Cags, and Carter combined 1-16. Everybody hurts.

@HormuzLetter They sure don’t act like a country militarily defeated, Mr Rubio…

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

They sure don’t act like a country militarily defeated, Mr Rubio…

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran has launched a massive ballistic missile and drone attack, striking the US 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain along with US bases in Kuwait, Ali Al Salem + Arifjan, and an oil tanker near Dubai, in response to new US strikes on Qeshm Island and an Iranian oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, per Tasnim.

Iran says it has officially abandoned tit-for-tat retaliation, now striking back "at least 1.5x as hard" for every US attack, with IRGC warning "disrupting the security of the Strait of Hormuz will have a heavy price for the invading US military."

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

Then why haven’t we won the war?

How weak does a country have to be for this Administration to finish the job and achieve their objectives??

This isn’t as effective an argument as Little Marco thinks it is. China is watching very closely.

[RedWave Press @RedWavePress]

MUST WATCH: Sen. Cory Booker (D-NY): “Now, we’re begging to get back into a deal that you all trashed in the first place.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio: No one's 'begging' for anything here. The Iranians might be begging — because their economy is losing hundreds of millions of dollars a day.”

"I don't know where you're getting this perception that Iran is stronger. Iran has no navy left. They've lost a substantial percentage of their defense industrial base... and their economy is far worse today—and I mean far worse today—than it was 6-9 months ago.”

“They’re looking at hundreds of billions of dollars of reconstruction cost.”

NUKED!

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

@UncleChewy_ @Arrowhead_Adam They gave up 16, 26, 20, and 14 the final four games last season. 19 ppg.
0-4

Seattle - SB champions - gave up 16, 37, 10, and 3 the final four (reg season). 16.5 ppg
4-0

Defense wasn’t the problem w/Mahomes out. The Chiefs averaged 11.7 ppg. Of course they missed Mahomes lol

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

Gas prices were $3.11 national average Inauguration Day.

Cruz claimed they were $5, $6 dollars under Biden and credited Trump for cutting for cutting them in half lol

Gas is nearly a dollar higher today than Inauguration Day.

Voters are sick of the blatant lies..

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Ted Cruz on high gas prices: "I don't think it's gonna impact the midterms. I've seen no data that suggests this is having a big impact on the midterms. Under Biden, gas prices ... "

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

@ClayTravis None of that - some true, some false - but none of that means squat to the 9-5 household paying for groceries at 4 year highs and gasoline at 3 year highs.

Yeah, things were high at times under Dems too. And voters fired them.

Voted for change in 2022 and 2024 and didn’t get it

Record high stocks, historically low unemployment, lowest murder rate in history, & average lifespan just hit 79 years old, highest ever. Yet U Michigan consumer sentiment just hit 50 year lows. By data things have been far worse in past 50 years. So why are people so unhappy?

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

@Arrowhead_Adam Maybe we just get off the guys back and give him a chance to breath. I think he’s earned one mulligan.

6-11 again, that’s an issue. I believe 2025 was an aberration. We’ll know next January..

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

@Arrowhead_Adam I think it’s disingenuous to point to the one season the past eight Veach hasn’t made OT of a conference championship game and play the “Ah Ha!! But you said…” Card.

2025 didn’t work out. Lost the one pt games they were winning. It happens - just not to us very damn often.

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

I don’t know for sure that Joe Biden would have beat Trump in 2024.

I do know this:

Biden kicked Trump’s ass once.

Biden very likely gets more votes across the swing states than Kamala got.

Would have been interesting. Trump beat two women and lost to a man in between..

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

Right wing MAGA extremists vandalized a voting center and burned mail-in ballots in LA County Sunday in an apparent attempt to save Steve Hilton (R) and especially Spencer Pratt (R) from pending defeat.

Both are in danger of being shut out entirely by California voters..

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

The Pulte pick for DNI is ridiculous, but aren’t all Trump’s picks?

No experience in the field. None. Just another lap dog to fabricate intel for Trump and insult people. Pathetic.

At least Trump’s too weak and inept to be dangerous (except to women and Iranian school kids)

[Alan Covington @Alan_Covington]

I believe that’s right, although if players hold together there will never be a salary cap.

Owners should go after arbitration and the 20% pay cut restriction instead. Limit or eliminate those and salaries will stabilize on their own except at the highest levels.

In this lockout, the majority of fans are going to be on the side of MLB and the owners, not on the side of the @MLBPA.

@doc_dX @LarrySabato Ok i can see that
