"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.

It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

A government agency spending $300 million in taxpayer dollars to produce sterilized flies sounds like a dream scenario for a DOGE team looking to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. https://t.co/3lGn15PndO

It’s not their flag - it’s ours. It’s a proud American symbol, and it doesn’t belong to Trump or MAGA. This weekend, take back our flag and share with us how you’re displaying your patriotism #TakeBackTheFlag

Ken Paxton’s own party impeached him.
His own staff reported him to the FBI.
Now his own defense attorney is endorsing our campaign.

Those closest to Ken Paxton know he's unfit for office.

"How do you even keep your mental health together?"

"I don't. I lost it a long time ago. Ever since three of my closest friends and my boyfriend were killed. I was the one who recovered his body from the evacuation point."

Ukrainian Defender "Kit" ("Cat") from the Magura Brigade joined the military at the age of 24. Over four years of service, she has fought in some of the war's hottest sectors, including the defense of Donetsk region, the counteroffensive in Zaporizhzhia region, and the Kursk operation.

Kit's boyfriend died defending Ukraine in Donetsk region while carrying out a combat mission.

"One evening, he brought me the wounded and the fallen from the positions, and the very next evening, he was the one being recovered..."

Today, Kit is defending the Sumy region.

There is a cult of ignorance... nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

This might be hard for Americans to hear, but the USA getting humiliated by its abject failure as a power during this Iran War might be the best thing possible at this time. The country needs to understand there are consequences for electing a crook.

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.

Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.

A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.

Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen was riding his bike in Laredo, Texas… when Border Patrol agents pulled alongside him and illegally tried to block him in.

When he kept riding, they chased him down, physically grabbed him by the arm, and immediately started demanding identification and asking where he was from.

He told them he born in Laredo, Texas.

But that was not good enough.

The agent asked, “What high school did you go to?”

He answered that, too… and they still kept demanding ID, over and over again.

The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. In America, law enforcement don’t get to randomly stop people, physically grab them, and demand identification because they feel like it.

Being on a bike isn’t a crime.

You also don’t have to carry an ID on you unless you are operating a motor vehicle… which he was not.

So, demanding an ID, without probable cause, is illegal.

And the cherry on top? When the man went to use his phone, an agent tried to stop him by grabbing it… apparently unaware the entire encounter was already being recorded by his glasses.

If Border Patrol can stop an American born citizen riding his bike, demand his papers, and put their hands on him without stating a lawful reason… every American should be paying attention.

Still a classic, no doubt:

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Democrats are so diabolical and ingenious at rigging elections that Republicans control the presidency, house and senate.
