Susan Collins 30 years ago: “I’ve pledged that if I’m elected I will only serve two terms. 12 years is long enough to be in public service.”

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

Brad Paisley urges his followers to sign a petition to stop the construction of a 69,000-square-foot data center that would be 50 yards from the Nashville Zoo, which he called “an absolute nightmare scenario” in an Instagram Reel. https://t.co/EmxKUw5oav

One can only hope his Senate prediction is true.

Cruz: If the Democrats take the House, it will be nonstop impeachment. If they take the Senate, they will shut down every confirmation for every cabinet member and judge.

Teamwork in action! Our exhibits, collections & education teams are installing The Return of Backroom Curiosities—back after its 2013 debut. This quirky showcase of rare finds from the vault opens June 16 and runs all summer during museum hours.

NEVER EVER return this flag. It is the flag of traitors, treasonists, and people who declared themselves to not be part of the United States. They lost.

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Minnesota still possesses a Confederate battle flag that was captured by Union troops during the Battle of Gettysburg. Over the years, Virginia has repeatedly requested its return, but Minnesota has consistently refused. Former Governor Jesse Ventura summed up the state’s position with a blunt response: “Why? I mean, we won.”

On July 3, 1863, during the final day of the Battle of Gettysburg, soldiers from Minnesota’s 1st Volunteer Infantry seized the battle flag of Virginia’s 28th Infantry Regiment amid the chaos of Pickett’s Charge. In the Civil War, regimental flags were crucial rallying points on the battlefield, making their capture both a practical and symbolic triumph. The flag was taken back to Minnesota as a war trophy, where it has remained for more than 160 years.

Virginia has repeatedly sought the flag’s return, but Minnesota has consistently refused. The most memorable rejection came in 2000 when then-Governor Jesse Ventura was asked about returning it and famously replied, “Why? I mean, we won.” Today, the flag is preserved by the Minnesota Historical Society and remains one of the most famous Civil War artifacts involved in an ongoing interstate dispute, highlighting how the legacy of Gettysburg continues to spark debate more than a century and a half later.

George Orwell’s 1984 was published today in 1949.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Ken Paxton’s former lawyer: My former client is calling you ‘low-T Talarico’ and a vegan

@JamesTalarico: I'm an eighth-generation Texan. My family's been here since it was Mexico. I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton's first indictment.

If the best they have is lying about me being a vegan. I feel pretty good about our chances in November.

Graduations celebrate the community of people that the graduate represents. Investments of time, love, funds, support, and more.

So this happened on June 5th and aired this morning on Meet the Press.

As we used to say back on the ranch I grew up on, the guy is all hat and no cattle.

He complains without facts.

He insults because he’s uninformed and a bully.

He storms off the set because he’s a very weak man.

America, we deserve better. Vote in the midterms. Full stop.

Mike Lee demands that Pete Hegseth immediately reverse the new Pentagon policy that excludes Mormons from DOD’s list of recognized Christian denominations. He says it is “offensive” and “repugnant.”
