The whole Crockett v Talrico primary debate will have next to little on issues and more on style. The question is does anger translate into crossover or turnout vs an appeal to better angels. Its funny because I also see this as another front of the Abrams v Ossoff battle in GA.

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money.
Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment.
Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

FWIW, there will be a movement on behalf of A&M boosters to get the school to hire Ole Miss' Chris Beard in an effort to get him back into Texas — and to go head-to-head with Beard's former school in Austin.

Good message but can we please call a moratorium on the thing where Democrats think the solution to Trump is to curse a lot? I pretty much hate it at this point

Trump on Greenland: "Denmark is very far away. A boat landed there 200 years ago or something and they say they have rights to it. I don't know if that's true. I don't think it is, actually ... we really need it for national security ... maybe you'll see more and more soldiers go there."

I think it's safe to say that Democrats in DC are the most useless group of elected officials since the Weimar Republic
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are still fighting the egg prices war as Trump and Musk dismantle the federal government. Maybe this is good politics, but we're a looooooong way away from the midterms and at this rate there won't be much left to salvage by then.
