Trump is unfit for office. This is an example of his cabine-nap meeting.
Sleepy Joe Biden was never this bad. Ever.

Yes, I know that would put Vance in office. But Vance will never survive maga backlash. They aren't going to follow Vance no matter what he does.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

I’ve never been a “defund the police” type of guy. I believe that police are necessary, despite their flaws.
But ICE is different. I am 100% behind ending their existence and prosecuting every single one of them.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
