I have repeatedly told people that my favorite story I've ever covered in 30 years was attending a coming home ceremony for soldiers who had been activated for a year. 100 simultaneous family reunions. So much joy, so many tears. You can't help but become overwhelmed.

Not arguing with your contention at all! Based on the actions Trump and GOP have made, layoffs will likely be higher, and more people will be frustrated with tariffs, and higher insurance costs.
But "IF" the economy improved as many GOP contend... these Nov. 2025 issues won't be how people vote

Trump knows this. Kelly is in no real trouble of being charged or court-martialed.
This is about sending a message that dissent is not tolerated and many will fall in line.

The best example is Jan. 6.
Let's say that happened, the entirety of it, on Oct. 6 -- one month before the election. Would Trump have won? I doubt it.
But the reality is that by Nov. 2024... a large enough percent of American voters had decided what occurred nearly four years ago didn't matter

I've been following politics long enough... to know what happens in 2025 truly doesn't matter. As angry as you may be, as motivated as you may be...
A LARGE % of voters in November 2026 will base their vote on what happens in Fall 2026. Not what angered them in 2025.

Why are we wasting time speculating on rumors? This is gossip and a waste of everyone's time.
Talk about what is really happening.
If the retirements come, let's talk about them then.

Please apologize. Some fans avoid spoilers.

I just wrote how classless it was for Fightful to share the result before the match even aired. Really unbelievable and just dumb.

Well as I noted.... if that Tennessee election in a +22 district winds up being GOP win by +8 or closer, that will have a lot of GOP incumbents panicking!

many GOP voters will not hear your arguments, or will just deny or ignore them. The reality is that with the way gerrymandering has shaped districts, there won’t be huge wave elections

OH thanks... now that you mention this... I JUST watched a show on Netflix where one of the three characters could turn into one. Yeah, I don't think I had heard of that word before. Geez I should have remembered it because it wasn't that long ago I saw it.

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

1) I don't think she can win. I'll guess the winning margin is 54-46 (+8).
2) A result that close (if I'm right!) of a +22 district being won by just +8 will scare a LOT of Republicans.

The best way to guarantee Patel's long employment in the role is for a legit news story that suggests he could be on his way out.
Trump won't want to satisfy the news organizations for getting it right.

Yes I think Trump is possibly elevating Kelly into the presidential picture.

Trump may be inadvertently raising Kelly's name recognition and launching him into the presidency.
