2028 GOP Debate
Moderator: Let’s talk Epstein.
Rubio: We need a bipartisan commission.
Vance: The media won’t admit the girls were very old for their age.
Sliwa: That reminds me of when I got shot and bled out in the back of a cab driven by a guy named Polish Steve.

In case there was any doubt about Trump’s role in a pedophile ring: the sitting President is pushing a primary challenge against a hardcore Republican because she wants the Epstein files released.

This shouldn’t shock anyone who actually understands politics. Voters aren’t asking Democrats to play nice, they demand a fight.
The country is burning and we’ve got too many Dems bringing a spray bottle to a five-alarm fire.

Democrats ready to reopen the government on a promise of a vote to save Obamacare subsidies should remember: Republicans made the same promise on D.C. funding earlier this year. That vote never came. Thinking this time will be different is political delusion.

Can’t get over how bad GOP shutdown messaging is. Voters already blame them, rightly so, and now Trump’s team is on TV admitting their shutdown will ruin the holidays for millions of American families.
Sean Duffy: "We have a number of people who want to get home for the holidays, they want to see their family. Listen, many of them are not going to be able to get on an airplane."

Because of the Trump shutdown, 143,000 Rhode Islanders could lose access to food assistance starting on November 1. Don't let political dysfunction in Washington hurt our community.

So proud to be endorsed by Victory Fund, the nation’s leading organization fighting for LGBTQ+ and reproductive freedom, as an “essential voice for equality.” I’ll bring that same fight to City Hall for a more inclusive, equitable Providence.

While Trump weaponizes the DOJ to indict his political enemies, let’s not forget that a senior White House official was caught taking a $50,000 bribe. The investigation was shut down and he’s still in office.

Trump strong arms the DOJ to indict his political enemies. It’s authoritarianism in plain sight. The most dangerous politicization of justice in history.

Firing a U.S. attorney for refusing to bring sham charges against a political rival isn’t just corrupt. It’s a grotesque abuse of power and the textbook definition of an impeachable offense.

Wake up America: every single thing about MAGA is a lie. It promised lower costs, dignity of work, and freedom of speech. It’s delivered higher prices, gutted health care, and unprecedented attacks on speech. It’s a grift for the few at the expense of the many.
