If you are a Democrat in the Tennessee 7th, you have a chance to do something incredible starting tomorrow as to the special election on December 2nd

The Republican Party appears to be collapsing there, perhaps in part because it is trying to starve everyone
Turnout was down 75% in Middle TN U.S. House special election, particularly in GOP strongholds • Tennessee Lookout
Turnout in the special election primary for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District race was down compared to the 2024 General Election.

Q: “Can you clarify where you said the Presidential Medal of Freedom is better than the Congressional Medal of Honor? Many veterans are upset about that”

NEW: Kim Davis is done. The Supreme Court is not reconsidering Obergefell. What happens now?

There is a reason people were afraid that the Supreme Court would take up case. The reason is the Supreme Court itself. Here's why I'm taking this whole experience seriously.

Khanna: And then it’s awfully convenient that those eight senators happen to be the ones who aren’t up in 2026—and they’re all consulting Schumer. People are sick of this. That’s why I called on Schumer to step down.

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

Trump: "We have officially renamed the Dept of Defense back to the original name, Dept of War. And remember we won World War 1, we won World War 2, we won everything in between. We won everything that came before. And then we brilliantly decided to change the name. We became politically correct"
