My publicist has advised me that if I want more traffic, I better arrange to be under investigation.

My reader Lynda proposes that Lauren Boebert's next job might be "OnlyFans. Or Fox. Samesies." 🤣

Did you know that Rudy Giuliani is still around -- still trying to whip people up against imaginary threats to "decent Americans." It's true -- hadn't heard from him in a while, and, frankly, didn't miss him at all. Elon Musk's X continues to promote his "live" sessions

Boebert is now Noebert - AP says combative congresswoman has lost her race for reelection

Update on closest House race: ex journalist Chuck Hubbard, a Democrat, still holds a 300+ vote lead over GOP incumbent Virginia Foxx, chair of House Rules Committee, in NC. Only about 900 ballots still to count; she'd need to win 2/3 of those

@RogerJStoneJr @constantino What’s his position on the mass shooting in Washington today? Maybe he wants to blame that on Democrats rather than on the easy availability of guns?

DC Mass shooter says he killed random people to draw attention to maintenance issues on his condo. At what point might we want to recognize that unlimited access to guns by the general public is a bad idea?

[Russ Baker - Editor in Chief, @WhoWhatWhy @RealRussBaker]

@MistyTransient I like your idea: no guns in private hands in the US, period. And then the rest of the world! (Oh wait a lot of the world has already dealt with this)

[Russ Baker - Editor in Chief, @WhoWhatWhy @RealRussBaker]

get ready for the gun industry goons to come in here and argue that "guns dont kill people, people kill people" etc etc

Hegseth has uncharacteristically awarded a medal to the Army sentry who admonished him for poor behavior at the Tomb. Guessing Hegseth was ordered to do that by President Miller, who needs the remaining base for whatever he's concocting.

[Russ Baker - Editor in Chief, @WhoWhatWhy @RealRussBaker]

@KittyFan44 I see your point. Yes, they already had a Democratic governor. I meant to emphasize the state house situation with the new Dem governor. When you said "they have one now" I mistook that as a reference to the senate. Typing too fast! Thanks for pointing out

[Russ Baker - Editor in Chief, @WhoWhatWhy @RealRussBaker]

North Carolina now has a Democratic governor. One uncalled state senate race, with a 200-vote margin, will determine if Dems also take over state legislature; been Republican for 15 years

[Russ Baker - Editor in Chief, @WhoWhatWhy @RealRussBaker]

Hegseth, under fire for inappropriate behavior at Tomb, awards medal to sentry who admonished him. Good! Now, lets see more military stepping up. More admonishments, more medals.

[Russ Baker - Editor in Chief, @WhoWhatWhy @RealRussBaker]

@KittyFan44 Um US Senate and State Senate are not the same thing! Congress and state legislature are not the same thing. Hello!

Nvidia's Jensen Huang has resigned. Will his friend and booster Donald Trump, who ignored the spy component, face any consequences? Of course then one wants to know more about Trump's relationship with Putin, etc etc

[Russ Baker - Editor in Chief, @WhoWhatWhy @RealRussBaker]

Jensen Huang has resigned from Nvidia. Please share your thoughts

Hegseth isnt Secretary of War, he's tRump's Secretary of Raw
