Donald Trump won this district in Louisiana by 13 points in 2024.
The Democrat just crushed a Republican extremist in this district by 24 points.
Folks, that’s a 37 point swing to the left. We can compete everywhere and win anywhere. Let’s keep this up!

Hard to believe that this is coming up in the news again. Trump wants to disrupt the midterms because he knows he’s going to lose. There was nothing to find then and nothing today. Trump has unraveled. He is unstable. He is unfit. Miller is pulling the strings.

BBC Politics Scotland is currently broadcasting a look at nuclear energy which is a blatant puff piece for Labour's pro-nuclear policy, talking about the 'brain drain' from Scotland due to the Scottish Government's opposition to nuclear energy.

Sanctuary policies are legal. The Supreme Court has been clear for decades that the federal government cannot commandeer state or local governments to enforce federal immigration law. This isn’t “playing with fire.” It’s constitutional law.

While Gregory Bovino and the two CBP officers who shot and killed Alex Pretti have been pulled out of Minnesota, that is not justice. All three were immediately sent back out on the street in another American city to terrorize, and possibly even murder, more Americans.

The Secretary of Homeland Security is asserting that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff ultimately bears responsibility for the murder of two American citizens, which is something that would normally generate a dozen congressional inquiries.

You can’t just say “Abolish ICE”. You also have to say “Abolish ICE and throw every person working in the agency into federal prison for crimes against humanity”.
