Tucker Carlson is not a good person.
Anyone who comes across him knows it.
He has a following because he was once on Fox News and there’s a group of people who like to hear provocative, controversial, d*ckish statements come out of an obnoxious mouth.
But he’s NOT going to be president of the United States.
To the people that say that the Democrats are crazy, I will disagree. They are NOT crazy.
Look at the moderate candidates they fielded. The person who beat a 30-year incumbent in Maine. James Talarico in Texas. These are not ultra-left people.
Democrats ran moderates in the Senate and that’s how they trounced the Republicans.
That’s the message from the American people: give us a moderate and we’ll vote for them.
Give us a Tucker Carlson, and we’ll put him on the dustbin of history.

This is big: Newly revealed records from the hacked computer of Russian propagandist John Mark Dougin confirm that former DNI Tulsi Gabbard used information from Russia's GRU to peddle disinformation about Ukrainian biolabs.
I hope everyone takes a good hard look at this picture.
Trump’s under-construction ballroom is now bigger than the rest of the White House. Much bigger.
The contrast says everything you need to know about this President and his priorities.
He crawled for five days with his throat slit. The russians had thrown him into a pit with the bodies of his fellow soldiers and walked away to smoke.
Vladyslav had heard his torturers gouging out the eyes of his men. Then they slit his throat and left him to die.
He crawled out of the pit filled with garbage, hid from drones twice, and spent five days crawling back to Ukrainian positions. He was half a centimeter away from death. And he survived.
Vladyslav is a platoon commander. In the Donetsk region, his platoon came under heavy fire, and he ordered his men to spread out.
When he lost contact with them, he went searching through nearby houses. That was when he was ambushed by russian convicts.
They took him into a basement. His fellow soldiers were already there, kneeling with their hands tied. There was blood everywhere. The torturers mutilated them in front of Vladyslav.
The first two suffered the worst. Their eyes were gouged out, and their ears, noses, and genitals were cut off.
They screamed in agony. Vladyslav closed his eyes, but the russians forced him to watch.
Then they turned on him. They cut off part of his ear, pulled out a tooth with pliers, and slit his throat.
They threw everyone into the same pit and covered them with garbage.
The russians did not leave immediately. They stood over the pit filled with bodies, smoking. Vladyslav waited until they were gone.
Among the garbage, he found a broken bottle. He used a piece of glass to cut the rope binding his hands. Then he began to crawl.
Drones attacked him. He spent two days hiding in some kind of manhole. He crawled for five days until he finally reached Ukrainian positions.
He held a grenade in his hand. There were moments when he thought about giving up. But the thought of his daughter and wife gave him the strength to keep crawling.
The doctors could hardly believe what they saw.
“He looked like the victim of a maniac. His trachea was completely damaged, along with parts of his neck muscles and esophagus.”
A surgeon added:
“On both sides, he was just half a centimeter away from death. If the carotid artery had been hit, it would all have been over within a minute and a half.”
He underwent rehabilitation, during which he could not speak. He communicated with his wife and brother by writing in a notebook.
Vladyslav wrote to his wife that he wanted to return to the Donetsk region – to avenge at least those seven men who had been executed before his eyes.

There is an active outbreak of avian flu (H5 influenza) in dairy herds in Washington State, particularly the Yakima Valley. A number of dairy workers have been infected, with at least one death. Speaking with workers, we believe the official case numbers are a vast undercount. 1/

BEYOND DISGRACEFUL. And absolutely typical.
This is Hegseth’s entire self-centered and disgraceful tenure as SecDef captured in one more massively shameful moment.
I’ve laid a wreath there. The Tomb is NEVER a place for laughing and selfies.
“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!”
That intrepid sentinel speaks for all Americans.
And especially for our troops.
Congress should vote again to impeach Hegseth. TODAY. On Veterans Day. NOW.
My Veterans Day tradition at the VA: pizza, good conversations, and a huge thank you to our veterans.
As an immigrant, I will never take this country and the people who protect it for granted.
To every veteran: we love you, we appreciate you, and we thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
Republicans have shielded Elon Musk from facing accountability for the past 2 years, but now that the balance of power has shifted, Democrats are poised to open up more than 150 (!!) lines of inquiry & investigations into Musk.
