.@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.
A Global Sumud Flotilla participant just testified from the depths of an Israeli detention center
"I was illegally kidnapped by Israel - like 425 other people."
"Handcuffs on my hands and feet. Dragged me. When I couldn't walk, they dragged me on the ground."
"They hit us. Hurt all of us a lot. Handcuffs so tight my hands lost feeling."
"They laughed all the time. Super sadistic."
"Took off my shirt. Took pictures. Mistreated us all night long."
Then she delivered her message to the world:
"Shame on you. Shame on all of you. Shame on every government that keeps trading with Israel. My government is complicit. Europe is complicit. The whole world is complicit."
Assuming we’re heading to the deal that’s being reported, I will say that Trump’s ill-conceived and foolishly executed war seems to be ending in ignominious and unmitigated defeat.
🚨 JUST IN — Thomas Massie concedes the race:
“I would've come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede.”
“And it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.”
That line is going to detonate across Washington.
Massie just turned his concession speech into a missile aimed directly at the flood of outside money and foreign policy influence that consumed this race.
The most expensive House primary in U.S. history ends with one final message:
This wasn’t just Kentucky voting.
This was the political establishment making an example out of someone who refused to fall in line.
Acting AG Blanche: "I'm the Acting Attorney General. The fact that I used to be President Trump's lawyer is just a fact."
Sen. @ChrisVanHollen (D-MD): "Mr. Attorney General, you are acting today like the president's personal attorney. And that's the whole problem."
.@SenJackReed: This all seems to be an obvious abuse of power by the DOJ and Trump. He essentially negotiated with himself, you're his appointee and he's the plaintiff. The American people aren't surprised that all this money is going to his friends. Who are the commissioners that will decide who receives the money?
Trump's Acting AG: They're not named yet.
Reed: Who will name them?
Trump's Acting AG: I will
It’s Election Day, KY!
I promise to continue representing the true conservative Kentucky values I’ve upheld since day one — but I can’t do it without your vote.

Black American should not be given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery. Here’s why the January 6 rioters should be given reparations for a couple months in jail for committing treason
I did not see this coming, but my election has become an inflection point for our whole country. Today we make history.
Will you be part of this historic day by voting, calling friends who can vote, posting to social media, or making a donation?
Spread the word fellow patriots!
Sen. @ChrisVanHollen to Trump's Acting Attorney General: You have clear conflicts of interest between your prior job as Trump's personal lawyer and your duty to ensure justice. This is especially true with the case of Jeffrey Epstein. You spent 2 days interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell, and shortly thereafter she was moved to a lower security prison camp with special perks.
Thomas Massie: "I vote with Republicans 91% of the time. And the 9% I don't, they're taking up for pedophiles, starting another war, or bankrupting our country."
An absolute mic drop. 🎤⬇️
James Talarico: “It’s really easy to love your neighbor who looks like you, prays like you, votes like you. The challenge is to love people who look differently, who pray differently, who vote differently”
Got to tour @RepThomasMassie property and home. Can I tell you right now that this man is a real guy.
-he lives nearly 100% off grid
- majority of his food is organically grown on property
- he loves to play the banjo and cook pizza for 30 random content creators
No pat down, no security, no expectations.
What a great time and thank you Congressman @MassieforKY for hosting us.
@realDaveReilly got us this video edited FAST and snapped on it.
Really big thank you to @TheVinoMom for making this happen. She’s leading the charge for @RepThomasMassie@takenaps for taking a ride up the mountain with me.
Russia is stupidly provoking WWIII by resisting the Great Power of Ukraine. Putin should stop the killing and give up territory for peace. Thanks for tuning in to the latest episode of Realist Geopolitics.
US Representative Thomas Massie grills the American Senate over the Epstein Files cover up:
"Don't f*ck this bill up."
"If you are, you're part of the cover up."
"Anyone who went to rape island needs to be behind bars. Even the billionaires"
