Sen. Susan Collins blasts Troy Jackson over his “shut up” remark, saying his response was “very telling” given his reputation for how he treats women who disagree with him:
“I was struck by how reflexive the response, ‘Oh, shut up,’ was. But then I thought about the reputation that Troy Jackson has in Augusta, particularly when he’s dealing with women with whom he disagrees. So, in some ways, it didn’t surprise me. And the fact that it seemed like such an automatic, quick reply was very telling.”
Democrats have this manifesto. Their manifesto would eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement, open the border, open the prisons, and put these people into our communities. They want to defund the military, defund the police, and raise taxes to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants.
Democrats want high gas prices. That's the difference between commonsense Republicans and these crazy Democrats who've been nominated all around the country.
"I'm sorry, I can't. I'm not giving it to the kid."

NEW KFILE looking at James Talarico’s record on policing in 2020. Talarico told a youth group then calling for defunding police that it was "rich" that "defund the police" was "off limits" in political debate when Texas had spent decades defunding public schools and health services. Said, "Our system of policing is deeply broken. We must replace it with something new and something better," and asked about instead sending "highly-trained crisis interventionists," some for some emergencies.
In June 2020, he donated $2,500 to the Austin Justice Coalition, a group calling for defunding police, a donation he later defended. He also criticized Gov. Abbott's proposal to cut revenue to cities like Austin over local decisions to reduce police funding. In 2022, Talarico said that if the country took "just half of what we spent on wars, prisons, and policing" and spent it on education, health care, and jobs, "we could make prisons obsolete."
Talarico's campaign says he "did not call for and does not support defunding the police" and has voted to send billions of dollars to local law enforcement.

You need to show a photo ID to board a plane, buy a beer, and open a bank account.
Yet Democrats continue to block common-sense voter ID legislation.
It's evident Democrats want to make it easier to cheat. Republicans want to make it easier to vote and make sure nobody's cheating.

Extreme Democrats’ manifesto would cost every American household more than $350,000 over the next 10 years!
This manifesto is a roadmap to destroy America by people who hate this country.
Republicans are going to fight for freedom, prosperity, and American greatness.
We don’t have to guess what Democrats would do if they get power back, we already know:
-10+ million illegal border crossings
-$5 gas by design
-9% inflation
-Free healthcare for illegal aliens
-Less American energy
