Just a crazy coincidence I’m sure.

[Ben @BFDALLEE]

Well this is interesting. I expected Demuth to be higher than 21%.

[Ben @BFDALLEE]

@davethul Is it illegal to vouch for illegal voters?

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Jewish groups are now boasting more explicitly than ever that they will use Jewish wealth to destroy any US politician who refuses to "stand with" Israel: as they did to Massie.

But if you observe the same exact thing in order to criticize it, you're instantly branded a bigot.

If this had happened at the DFL convention, we'd probably be thinking the voting problems were intentional.

House Speaker Lisa Demuth will challenge the GOP's newly endorsed governor candidate, Kendall Qualls, at the primary after chaos at the convention. https://t.co/zhLd51hdjP

[Aidan Mattis @MattisRedacted]

Every single Massie voter should get behind this guy, and every single Democrat in KY-04 should do the same.

The Democrat candidate has no chance of winning. The Libertarian does.

And that would be the biggest slap in the face possible.

Ballot 10 results @KendallQuallsMN earns endorsement of @mngop

[Jeff Kolb @jpkolb]

It’s so funny that they can’t figure out convention voting. What a ridiculous situation for a party that makes election integrity such a focus. Total clown show, as usual.

[Michael Holmstrom @MichaelH_MN]

The final MN Republican Gubernatorial pre-endorsement debate results:

Kendall Qualls: 32.9%
Lisa Demuth : 27.5%

Phillip Parish: 11.8%

Fun fact:

the billionaire who funded the effort to remove @RepThomasMassie from Congress - by convincing you the most conservative member of Congress was a woke-liberal - is the same billionaire who bankrolled @jamestalarico :

This year, Trump purchased more than $1 million of Dell stock.

This week, Trump's Pentagon announced a $9.7 billion contract with Dell.

Mike Lindell bought every MNGOP state delegate a copy of his book with campaign funds.

At $18 per book for 2,000+ delegates. That’s a $36,000+ payout straight to his personal checking account for this weekend alone.

Not taking this candidacy seriously.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

More 4D chess. Trust the plan. (sarcasm)

[Joel Griffith @joelgriffith]

PCE inflation surged to 3.8% year-over-year in April, the hottest since May 2023. This is NOT solely due to the (prudent) war against the Iranian regime. PCE has been trending up since last spring.

[Heather Long @byHeatherLong]

This is stunning.
Personal savings rate April 2025: 5.5%
Personal savings rate April 2026: 2.6%

That's a sharp plunge.
It underscores how squeezed Americans are right now with higher prices and incomes not keeping up.
Maybe you can explain some of this away by Baby Boomers retiring, but not all of it.

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

A weak U.S. economy is taking its toll on Americans. Q1 GDP grew a mere 1.6%, while the savings rate plunged to just 2.6%, as higher prices, higher interest rates, and stagnant incomes forced consumers to dip into their meager savings to make ends meet. The Trump boom is a bust.

[zerohedge @zerohedge]

US consumers almost out of savings: in the last 2 months, personal savings rate collapsed by 1% to 2.6%, just shy of all time low

[Ben @BFDALLEE]

@FantasyPros So, a power plant?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The President’s Big Beautiful Bill, the Iran War, and Republican spending bills will create a $2 trillion budget DEFICIT in 2026.

Financing just the new debt costs more than all federal road & bridge projects, and we will be making those new interest payments each year, forever.

First-sale doctrine is one of the oldest property rights in the common law. You buy a book, it is yours. Lend it, resell it, will it to your kids, burn it in the yard, keep it for fifty years. The seller loses all say the moment money changes hands.

Federal law flipped that on its head for anything digital. Every ebook you buy ships wrapped in a lock, and DMCA Section 1201 makes breaking that lock a crime, even on books you paid for.

The state did not simply fail to protect your property. The state wrote the statute that criminalizes defending it.

Let people own what they buy.
