Dug deep into midterm election strategy & ongoing dynamics with the economy on NBC's "Meet The Press Now."
@hinsonashley is going to be a great Senator for Iowa!
An internal poll showing +4 is not super reassuring given that internal polls typically exaggerate their candidate's standing by 4 points or so. And that's smaller than Platner's lead in most public polls before.
So disgusting. Hunter has a daughter named Navy Joan.
While first Lady, Jill Biden would hang stockings for 6 grandchildren and the dog, refusing to hang 7 to include Navy.
Hunter has been held in contempt by a judge for refusing to pay child support and being a deadbeat dad. Joe and Jill Biden are deadbeat grandparents.
Did you hear what The View's Sunny Hostin just said? She called Maine's Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner "a cheater, an antisemite, a liar, a racist, and a homophobe."
Then she paused and said something very telling: “BUT...” the Democrats need "to win that seat in Maine" to stop Trump.
This once again proves that the Left has no moral code and will do anything to seize back power.
Here's something we all need to remember: Everything before you say “but” is what you actually believe. Everything after is what you’re willing to trade it for.
The Left is willing to trade exactly what they’ve been claiming to fight just to regain a little bit of power. All the harping about racism, sexism, and homophobia means nothing if they’ll compromise their beliefs for 'the collective good.'
Why this time could be different for Platner.
-Google searches for him are way up in Maine & hit all-time high on Sunday
-Market odds have moved ~10 pt in Collins' direction
-Collins has long history of beating her polls by 8+ pt
Hard for Dems to win the Senate without Maine.
A good follow up to this would have been to ask Schumer what he thinks about Platner accusing him of voting to send him to the Iraq War, and saying that Schumer "should step down." https://t.co/iLY75tbSxX
Climate cult successfully guilt-tripped an entire generation out of kids: destroyed futures, empty cradles, and a dying civilization.
Newsflash, doomers: having children is the ultimate blessing, not a sin against the planet.
The UW System received a $256 million increase in the last state budget.
Then raised tuition 5% last year and is now proposing another 2% increase for in-state students this year.
As governor, I will implement a tuition freeze and restore accountability to our universities.
New tonight: An official source tells me Jing Dong, the driver of the bus that smashed into these cars, causing five deaths, refused an English Language Proficiency test after the crash.
Virginia State Troopers who arrived at the scene agreed Dong could not speak English. “Immediately I understood that he couldn’t speak English," said the first officer who got to him, according to this official source.
Passengers on his bus corroborated that Dong appeared to have very poor English.
The DOT subpoenaed New York state for records on Dong's CDL today. The source says "NY has been less than helpful."

Evidence Graham Platner is becoming a problem for Democrats beyond #MESEN
Metro says since Sunday, May 24 they have given out 740 bus fare evasion tickets and have made 46 arrests as part of a crackdown on Metrobus. In some cases officers are going onto buses and pulling people off who were seen on security camera evading the fare elsewhere. #wmata
NEW - Democrats are preparing for Graham Platner to stick around until November, even as they also discuss — much more quietly — the likelihood of still more damaging stories about their Maine Senate candidate’s past.

Democrats can’t seem to put 2024 behind them.
The American people still deserve answers: What did they know about Biden’s condition? When did they know it? And why did they cover it up?
JANET MILLS: "People have the impression that I ‘withdrew’ or ‘dropped out,' but I simply suspended active campaigning. I am still on the ballot.” https://t.co/pCa3wXCCRz
Mayor Mamdani's endorsement against Rep. Espaillat has some House Dems seething, particularly in the Hispanic Caucus. It's not a sure bet that Espaillat wins his primary, worrying Dems that a democratic socialist in their ranks could cause way more headaches. The latest @PuckNews: https://t.co/y7xmvdf5f7
WATCH: After former Rep. Patrick McHenry calls out Graham Platner's Nazi SS Death's Head tattoo, senior Sandernista Faiz Shakir tries to explain away as "skull and bones, not a Nazi tattoo."
PATRICK McHENRY: But the issue in Maine, just like in Texas, is they have an unvetted candidate. And it turns out the guy with the Nazi tattoo turns out to be a pretty bad guy in Maine, which is to the benefit of…
FAIZ SHAKIR: A tattoo that was skull and crossbones, not a Nazi tattoo.
McHENRY: Okay, we can quibble about whether or not how Nazi the Nazi tattoo was.
JON KARL: He did have the tattoo removed or whatever. I mean, but yeah.
SHAKIR: So- but this is emblematic of his problems and Maine voters will have a say about it.
