Heard someone saying Tuberville will win.
How the HELL can anyone be confident that a moron football coach will beat a former senator and USAG? Voters KNOW Tuberville is an empty suit. The people of Alabama deserve a campaign with issues and debate.
GA rejected Hershel Walker. AL will choose Jones.

Trump: "Here's some of the things we'd pass if we terminated the filibuster. Voter ID, no mail in voting, no cash bail, no men in women's sports, no welfare for illegals. You could go on and on."

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Republicans are already scheming to lock in power they can’t win honestly.
Prop 50 is how we stop them. It puts redistricting back in our hands, not theirs.
A YES vote means fair maps, real representation, and a Congress that answers to voters — not party bosses. VOTE #YesOnProp50

All of this, in violation of the Constitution.
Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.
What we have is an appropriations king.
Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

Now Trump is sending $40 BILLION to bailout Argentina.
This would fund at LEAST a year of the ACA tax credits millions rely on to afford health care.
Meanwhile, Argentina has universal health care.

U.S. support for Argentina could hit $40 billion
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said an additional $20 billion in private-sector loans for Argentina could effectively double the value of a U.S. rescue plan.

CA - YES ON 50! Dont let anyone tell you “Texas & Missouri redistricting have nothing to do with CA”. When Republicans give House Republicans more seats to tip the scales for a Republican House majority - IT AFFECTS EVERYONE IN THE NATION who are subject to R legislation/cuts/funding!

So Trump just said it was good to be at at war because then no more elections??
Trump to Zelenskyy: "During the war you can't have elections? So let me just see -- three and a half years from me, if we happen to be in a way with somebody, no more elections. That's good."

Solar (and battery) powered train in Byron Bay (in North East New South Wales, Australia for those unfamiliar with Australia). It's converted from diesel.
While the train has solar panels on it's roof, it also gets charged at stations which have solar panels on them too.
Here's a video of it.
