Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

Spencer Pratt lost, and I have bad news about what the For You feed and Polymarket odds did to some of your brains. Here's what happened. Just swap "X" for "Bluesky" and "LA" for "Alabama" and you'll get it

For all the talk on here about this race taking weeks and weeks to be called, the top 2 was determined in ... 6 days*

*And yes, there are understandable concerns about the long count and an important policy convo should be had. Still, there was a lotta hyperbole in the discourse

Great summary of how elections are working as designed: to allow as many eligible voters to vote as possible. The govt doesn’t want to spend more $ on a service (elections) that’s used only 2x (+ specials) every 2 yrs. That’s why it’s not faster.

Will be a crazy #CD6 contest in November between @DrPanMD and @KevinKileyCA but what is crazier is how close a guy nobody heard of, Michael Stansfield almost spoiled the party for Democrats. If Republicans had a candidate like @BishReportCA in CD6 I think Dems would have been locked out.

But one part of the story is that Dems didn’t take Stansfield seriously. Why? Well, he wasn’t campaigning and the only thing voters would see from him is his ballot statement.

And buckle in for this, it’s a doozy!

MICHAEL STANSFIELD (Republican).

Bible in hand, hear my qualifications of truth against Satanism(Matthew13:24-30): 

1Chronicles5:2 Joseph, the ancient kingdom of Israel, not Judah, inherited the Abrahamic birthright.  In 2Kings16:7-9 Judah, the Jewish Kingdom, sold Israel, like Christ, from the Temple’s coffers.  Judah’s culture and people survived and merged with Edom(13Josephus9:1), but Israel whom Jeremiah31:9 calls the son of God, died(Hebrews11:17-19).  

Why doesn’t Christianity believe in the resurrection of the son of God?

The crux of the faith of Abraham is the resurrection of the son placed on the altar into many nations and kings from the Nile to the Euphrates.  Every promise fulfilled through Arabia, not Judah because Arabia was more righteous(Jeremiah3:11-12). Their return(Jeremiah31:16-20), liberation(Genesis49:22-26), and resurrection(Ezekiel37:1-11) innumerably foretold.  

Substituting Esau to forcefully take Jacob’s birthright testifies to faithlessness on all counts, a callous heart that refuses recognizing the brother Judah sold because then we would have to love them, leading to reconciliation and unification (Ezekiel37:15-23). 

Like Christ, they’re conceived through the testimony of Gabriel, despised for their Divine message, the elite deny their identity and are conspiring to crucify them.  What politician has not accepted AIPAC’s thirty pieces?  To please you, for the crime of existing the supposed son of Joseph is condemned and the bad shepherd unleashed(Zechariah11:15-17).  

Isn’t the curse self-evident? 

Mine is a history of pleading, “Your little brother is alive, his sacrifice chosen, come to the banquet!”  Cain love, for with murder comes your expulsion and his seventh trumpet resurrection(John3:16-17).

You read all that??? Crazy, right?

And crazy that voters voted for him just because he was the only candidate with an R next to his name! But those were low information voters just trying to get through the ballot. And it looks like some of his strongest precincts were those furthest from Kiley’s old district, like West Sacramento.

Now Kevin has to go to them and convince them that he’s actually a Republican, and convince their independent and Democratic neighbors that he’s not MAGA.

Good luck, little buddy.

Great opportunity to take a deeper look at Oscar Wembanyama at adidas EuroCamp in Treviso this weekend.

It's been 3 wks since MAGA Mike Johnson unlocked the back door and shooed @KevinKileyCA back into his GOP committee posts, yet @politico + @sacbee_news still ignore.

Kiley stage-managed this top 2 primary chicanery in hopes you'd would forget. Reporters proving him right. #CA6
