She's right about people in power having secrets, but the problem with asking people to wake up and figure it out is that you can't expect someone in F*ck Nut, Arkansas to uncover dirt in DC. People like Greene need to start talking - on the record to reporters.
On Lindsey Graham. Stay with me on this. The worst kept secret in Washington DC came out today because 3 brave men came out and told the truth and it doesn’t matter if it is after he’s dead. Brave? Yes brave. Why are they brave? They had to go on camera and tell intimate details of their personal lives. To the world. That is extremely difficult to do. Yes it’s brave. And Stressful. They walked into the public square opening themselves to the opinions of the entire world. No matter your opinion on the issue, they took a courageous leap in coming forward. If you are critical, would you go on camera and tell your secrets to the entire world? I would bet a lot of money you wouldn’t. Ok but there is more to this. Because this is the world I saw up close in Washington. I saw behind the curtain and saw ALL the wizards. Everyone in the highest levels of power in Washington DC are keeping secrets that would destroy their entire lives. And that’s exactly why they have power. Not because they are so smart or qualified or the best choice for leadership. I mean really, if you think our best and brightest are in charge then do some critical thinking and look at the pathetic state of our debt, our dollar, and how our government is run, and the outcome that affects your life. Their secrets are the only reason these people rise to the top. Because their secrets are not secrets. We all knew Lindsey Graham was gay. Everyone did. Their secrets are levers of control. Keeps them in line. Makes them a team player. And will make them fight the hardest on issues that don’t make sense in order to keep their secrets just that. Secrets. So everyone is arguing about how this is old news, why now? Or arguing about being gay, and gay issues. Or arguing because that’s what everyone does on the internet, just argue with each other and with bots about issues they don’t have the real truth on, but throw out their strongest opinion anyways. I’m here to tell you the granular issue you need to dial in on and block out the rest of the noise. Three gay men just bravely pulled back the curtain and tried to teach you all the most important lesson America needs to learn. It’s this. America’s most powerful leaders keep secrets that comprise them in the most dangerous ways for the security, safety, and prosperity of our nation. That’s the whole point. I tried my hardest to fight the entire system on both sides of the aisle and couldn’t beat it because YOU ALL keep voting these people back into office and back into power. By the way, I always cosponsored the Term Limit bill and no matter who is in charge, Pelosi, McCarthy, or Johnson, Dem or Rep, that bill never ever got even close to getting a vote on the House floor. So the question for you, The American People, is are you able to learn the lesson and if so, what exactly are YOU going to do about it? Ask yourself, what are you voting for? Donating to? Volunteering for? And are you really satisfied with the outcome election cycle after election cycle?

The Democrat Party has been hijacked by the Radical Left socialists and communists. They believe America and our way of life is evil. They want freedom replaced by socialism. But in Arkansas, we are stopping them...

Are 'talking like Obama' and 'looking like a Kennedy' supposed to be bad things? b/c both are way more popular than Mike Collins.
Jon Ossoff wants to talk like Obama, look like a Kennedy, lie like Pinocchio, and vote like Bernie Sanders.

Why did it take them needing national media attention for this to happen? Let’s not forget their initial response was to double down.
Replying to @bluestein
-> Jackson’s campaign said this morning the ad has run its “scheduled course” and is already off air. It’s since been replaced with three attack ads targeting Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms’ record. #gapol

It's DEI for weird freaks who've tried to play a role in GOP politics for decades and were rejected. They can't get hired anywhere else. DEI for f*cked up, broken people.
I am convinced the Trump admin is DEI for mediocre white people.

Hmmm ... seems like if you're thanking someone who's done so much for foster children, you could name *one* thing he's done for them. Rick? Rick? Oh, you're gone ...
Just in case he missed it, here's Rick Jackson, Mr. "Trump with a Southern tone" looking awkward as Trump called him up on stage as he tries to distance himself from this unpopular failing president. He then does his favorite move on the court: the fadeaway into him being a foster child because that is where he's most comfortable and thinks that he can win points with voters that are facing economic hardships. Would be a shame if you retweeted this and to send it around, huh? Lol #gapol

In case anyone outside of the South is wondering ... the reason why bad candidates like Kelly Loeffler and Rick Jackson are able to run for office in Ga. is b/c they are rich AF. The state GOP is broke and they are self-funded.
Backstage with @RickJacksonGA and @MikeCollinsGA awaiting @realDonaldTrump at a PACKED OUT rally in Dalton, GA. Georgia voters are fired up and ready to VOTE RED up and down the ballot! 🍑🇺🇸

Does he *want* Rs to lose?
JD Vance says Democrats can’t run on their record so they’re running on lies about their failure to stand up to Joe Biden.

Sarah, I’ve organized in Georgia for over a decade. We heard what Walz is saying at the doors all over the state. The campaign picked the mythical swing voter over our own. For every Trump voter we won, we lost 4 of our own, 3 to the couch. I saw a while back you saying that Cheney didn’t matter and there was no evidence/polling. But we also have polling from Michigan and Pennsylvania at the time saying it does. I get it. I truly do. The people in our circles, and even some voters, care about things like Liz Cheney breaking with her party. But it doesn’t scale.
This is the dumbest analysis imaginable. Democrats lost because they re-nominated an 82 yo unpopular incumbent and when he had a health event on stage they replaced him w the unpopular VP they clearly had no confidence in. Voters didn’t like that she was a CA progressive, so she tried to shake that off by running a completely different campaign, but refused to distance herself from her unpopular boss. This left voters without a clear sense of who she was. She made a lousy VP pick that added almost nothing to the campaign. This is why she lost. Her ONE DAY with Liz Cheney is not. I didn’t consult for her campaign or advise it in any way, only said yes to helping when asked to moderate an event, because I desperately wanted her to win. Part of the reasons Dems struggle is they are unwilling to look facts about voters square in the face and love to pretend the world is different than it is. But you can’t win going forward if you can’t be honest about why your candidate lost. And if you’re looking to blame people for Trump winning, look no further than all the folks who couldn’t be bothered to vote for Kamala because she wasn’t pure enough for them.

I’m Jalen. I live in SC. I want to know why my Democratic nominee for the US Senate decided to make an ad playing the Republicans’ transphobic blame game instead of talking about gas and grocery prices? After 31 consecutive Democratic statewide loses, it seems immoral and dumb.
Hey folks! I’m working on my Substack this week about the 2026 midterm elections. Twenty years ago, I was executive director of the U.S. House Democratic Caucus during one of the most historic midterms in modern history. I see a lot of parallels between 2006 and what’s unfolding this year. But I want to hear from YOU. What questions do you have about these midterms? What could Democratic majorities in the House and Senate look like, and what could they get done? Drop your questions in the comments, along with your name and the state you live in. I’ll try to answer as many as I can in this week’s Substack. Thanks, folks!

So disappointing for a couple of reasons. One, as a physician, she missed a huge opportunity to educate people.
#SCSEN: Annie Andrews goes direct-to-camera on trans issues

She could've talked about how complicated the issue is and what it means to be trans. She took organic chemistry. She knows 'cis' and 'trans' are not "made-up terms."

She also fed into right-wing framing of the issue as "boys in girls' sports." She knows better and could've done better. If I were a campaign donor, I'd be pissed off.

This doofus. Socialism is NOT hard to define. Government controls industry. He doesn't want to define it b/c that's what the govt. he's running is doing.
Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

They live in a different reality.

This ad is obviously being made to tell Republicans to hold their nose & vote for her corrupt POS ex-husband who she covered for during his impeachment after he accepted a bribe to drop charges in exchange for his mistresses’ kitchen remodel, but she won’t even mention his name.
#TXPol: "I'm Texas Senator Angela Paxton. People have asked my thoughts about this election and turns out, I have some ... I'm voting for the Republican ticket on November 3rd." Texas PAC is up with a new ad featuring Angela Paxton, Ken Paxton's estranged wife.

“Made some bad personal decisions.” Like securities fraud, outright theft, sucking in millions on a public salary, protecting multiple pedophiles and sex offenders. What a snake.
"Just because Ken Paxton made some bad personal decisions doesn't mean I have to put my face in a wood chipper and vote for people who have gone plumb crazy!" -- @ScottJenningsKY
