It's quite obvious the FBI and DOJ have been weaponized against Conservatives. The pro life guy who was arrested from his house in a pre-dawn raid with guns drawn on him and his wife and family is atrocious.

The fact that J6 folks are still being held in the DC jail without being charged yet is truly Orwellian behavior. That is FASCISM!

Do you have a source for anyone being held without being charged? Seems like that would violate a lot of really good laws.

I think you would find lots of bipartisan support to reform the process for getting warrants, including banning no knock warrants and early morning raids.

I hope every one of those terrible fucking candidates win. They can get knocked out next election, but that is not a strategy that we want to be viable.

That article was from two weeks ago, and the winds have changed a bit. Gibbs is now more likely than not to win. Hassan is still a favorite over Bolduc in NH, but it's REALLY close.

I wonder if Chris Sununu regrets not taking a shot at the New Hampshire Senate seat - he's a pretty decent governor in NH and would probably beat Hassan the way things are going right now.

Elsewhere, we're probably looking at a GA runoff if neither candidate gets to the 50% + 1 mark. I'm not seeing either candidate breaking that threshold right now.

What a waste of time. They should do ranked choice voting.

Correct, but you have to explain it to Georgia voters (Republicans in this case) and convince them it's the way to go.

Maine and Alaska also have RCV, but the GOP doesn't like it up there because it hasn't been favorable to them yet.

Meanwhile, MTG expands on her pro-putin stance to cheers from her jaded audience, Oprah endorses Fetterman over her pill pushing turk/nj guy and Youngkin had to close down his "teacher snitch line" due to lack of snitches.

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha. That's funny. If it benefits one party - they won't give a shit.

Question: Do you believe a brain damaged grifter (Fetterman) is a better choice than an immigrant legacy Thoracic Surgeon (Oz)?
Then Fact: Glenn Younkin has a +55% approval rating vs 35% disapproval in Virginia.
I think he cares less about your yapping.

First Muslim US Senator this year as well as first female governor of Arkansas. Exciting.

I’m trying hard to believe things aren’t this dire, but he also has a point. It’s very disturbing that people won’t except the results of an election if the person who they want to win doesn’t, and would actually support taking measures to install that person anyway. That’s scary. It leaves a taste in my mouth that’s more foul than most things.
