This is how you get elected president twice in this century as a Republican…of course 9/11, and more than a little demagoguery on the same-sex marriage question each had something to do with W’s reelection victory in 2004 as well.
Will the GOP now declare its strategy of recruiting the oddest novice fringe element with the biggest name (DJT, Dr. Oz, Herschel Walker, etc.) a failure?…or will they likely keep drawing tainted water from that same well?
Democrats no longer have to negotiate a power-sharing deal in the Senate with Republicans and won’t have to rely on Vice President Kamala Harris as a tie-breaker.

This group looks more like America this year than it ever has before….whether these 9 will accurately reflect the views and values of the majority of the population is another issue altogether, but they pass the eyeball test.
When you’re the 1 in a 95-1 vote on a slam dunk issue, does that make you principled or just a jackass?….asking for the gentleman from Missouri who was also the one who gave an awkward raised fist salute to the insurrectionists on 1/6.
The Senate has approved a resolution supporting Finland and Sweden joining NATO — a crucial step for the two countries to join the 30-member alliance. https://t.co/hI2xfOrEln
You sometimes hear the argument that presidents are almost always renominated so the speculation about whether Biden will be is silly, but Biden is also a *big* outlier in terms of age. We don't really have any data for a case like this.
You have to be ancient like me to catch this 80s reference, but Cassidy Hutchinson is the Fawn Hall of the 1/6 hearings…next she’ll be dating Rob Lowe and pursuing a modeling contract…kids, y’all will have to Google this one.
Sure, now they’re ready to do battle against that terrifying crowd of angry women out in front of the Supreme Court…but when the thugs showed up on 1/6 to attempt a coup???
Law enforcement in riot gear was seen walking in the direction of the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., as the crowd out front grows larger in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned
Interesting and timely commentary regarding the journey to the past on which the Supreme Court is taking us as it concludes its 2021-22 term…separation of church & state? concealed carry laws? right to privacy?…apparently none of those is actually a thing.
Today reminds why FDR talked of #SCOTUS "dead hand" imposing the past's priorities on the present & why Robert Jackson called it “the check of a preceding generation on the current one & nearly always the check of a rejected regime on the one in being" https://t.co/PJDeRPUOSP
This is an intentionally misleading tweet….health care and college are very expensive services, and nothing is actually “free” — not even in Denmark….tell your 600K+ followers who actually “pays” for these things in democratic socialist countries like Denmark.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hedged when asked whether she’d support President Biden’s renomination in the 2024 presidential election, telling CNN she is first & foremost focused on Democrats preserving their majority in the 2022 midterms
Funny, Greg Abbott looks old enough to remember (or at least to have learned about) the original school shooting from the tower at UT Austin in 1966…and that’s nearly 60 years ago…hmmmmm…math challenged, history challenged or both Governor?
ICYMI: Responding to a question about 18-year-olds being able to purchase AR-15s, Gov. Greg Abbott said ‘maybe we’re focusing our attention on the wrong thing’
Tucker: At exactly the moment when the emergency powers they awarded to themselves to fight COVID started to wane, our leaders began pushing for conflict against Russia… Without even pausing, the Biden Administration declared total economic war on a sovereign country
McConnell says he is troubled by KBJ's "far left dark money fan club." (The messenger is notable: McConnell has led the conservative push to curtail campaign finance regulations, which enabled "dark money," and opposes legislation to require donor disclosure.)
Hey Ben, you better get used to Black women having an opinion on important issues, you’re about to have one on the highest court in the land for the first time in our history.
