I'll say this in response to SCOTUS' corrupt TX ruling: Dems in Maryland, Oregon, Illinois, Colorado, New York, and New Jersey are all stuck in the mud when it comes to mid-decade redistricting.
The time to act was yesterday. Move your asses, now.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Does this sound like a competent president?
Trump says, months after the Sept. 2 boat strike, he knows nothing about it:
"I still haven't gotten a lot of information, because I rely on Pete, but to me, it was an attack. It wasn't one strike, two strikes … Somebody asked me a question about the second strike. I didn't know the second strike."

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.
