Republican incumbent Rep David Valadao here, asked to justify sending millions of dollars worth of weapons to Israel, gives a rather startling defense. The response from Randy Villegas is also worth watching:
As Governor, we got health care to hundreds of thousands of working North Carolinians through Medicaid Expansion. Now, it’s at risk.
If you elect me Senator, I’ll do all in my power to protect it.
Troy Jackson after Susan Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"
One of the very funny habits of the @NCGOP bros is to keep bleating that Roy Cooper should be "exposed" to the voters or something - as if the man hasn't won six statewide elections, including 2 as the literal Governor.
Maybe voters actually know exactly who Roy Cooper is!
U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn (@osbornforne) (I-NE) on Trump comments about "letting Iran" bomb Los Angeles and San Diego, California: "That's not funny to joke about bombing American cities...I think it was distasteful."
Rob Sands: "You voted in Kansas in 2018 and in 2020 and in 2022. You registered to vote in Iowa less than two years ago."
Zach Lahn: YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE THAT I DIDN'T LIVE IN IOWA. #IAGov
Federal worker lost her job.
Rick Jackson tries to disassociate himself from Trump.
Keisha Lance Bottoms goes in for the kill -- an extraordinary moment in this Georgia Governor's Town Hall!
Roy Cooper: But know this: as soon as I get to Washington, I will be first in line to try to overturn Citizens United. The amount of money in these campaigns is unconscionable. It leads to corruption. It's wrong on every level, and we have to fix it.
Accounts are real and mostly verified. Tweets/RTs with near-identical “I’m voting straight ticket Republican for the midterms” text check out as authentic. They cluster around a high-engagement Oct 4 post by DataRepublican (quoting others) that many copied or amplified. Uniform wording and timing point to coordinated messaging or rapid viral sharing of the slogan.
.@JamesTalarico on Texas officially banning THC:
“This bill is insane.
Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels.
This ban is a gift to the cartels.
We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst.
Instead of fully funding our schools, guaranteeing healthcare, or making childcare more affordable — this Legislature is focused on banning a product that gives people a little peace.
We’re making people’s lives harder, not easier.
I want to leave you with a quote: ‘It is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.’ That wasn’t a Democrat. That was President Donald Trump.
To my Republican colleagues, I’m asking you to oppose the cartels, stand with President Trump, and vote no on this insane bill.”
NEW AD ALERT 🚨Rick Jackson’s message to the more than 3,000 women raped in Georgia last year: “Prove it.” He insists that rape victims must prove their assault before accessing abortion care. Taking credit for Georgia’s six-week abortion ban, Slick Rick wants to take it further and would confirm a total abortion ban. Rick Jackson is wrong for women and wrong for Georgia.
