Former Navy aviator Aaron Dimmock is primarying Matt Gaetz. Gaetz is accusing him of being a woke BLM/DEI Kevin McCarthy puppet... Just guessing here, but I'll assume that 90% of GOP members of Congress are hoping Dimmock wins

Putin's man in the Senate, JD Vance (R-OH) is still working to undermine Ukraine: "There’s no doubt we’re winning the argument. Our voters want us to put America first. And we’re seeing a growing number of Republican senators who think Ukraine has nothing to do with that."

At a Georgetown forum, McCarthy told the students that the reason he’s no longer Speaker is because “one person, a member of Congress wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17 year old…” Gaetz is a polymorphous pervert who will have sex with anyone

Hungary is the only country in NATO sabotaging Sweden’s membership bid. Hungary-- with Orban a firm Putin ally-- should have been kicked out of NATO long ago.

Asked about the Florida GOP delegation, McCarthy said “You have a cross section. You have Gaetz, who belongs in jail & you have serious members.” [Gaetz responded: “Tough words from a guy who sucker punches people in the back. The only assault I committed was against Kevin’s fragile ego.”]

Of the two dozen counties in Ohio that provide most of the state's votes, the pro-Choice position won in 20, including the 9 biggest. And the pro-pot position won in 23 out if the 24-- losing the smallest county only!
Pro-Choice is winning by 11 points
Pro-pot is up by 12 points

You won't have Gym Jordan to kick around (as much) anymore. In a big defeat for American fascism, and by a stinging 86-112 vote, House Republicans dumped Jordan and stripped him of his "speaker designate" title. Congress is now adjourned 'til Monday.

I know most national people don't know him, but as a Minnesota guy I thought Phillips had a promising career ahead of him in Congress and I can't understand him wanting to light it all on fire like this

Dan Merica:

Democrat Dean Phillips Looking to Hire Presidential Campaign Staff, Targeting New Hampshire

Among those who have been solicited by Phillips' team are former Obama hand Bill Burton and former McCain aide Steve Schmidt.
