Rep. Jasmine Crockett has made it official. She's running for the US Senate in Texas – while former Rep. Colin Allred ends his own campaign for the US Senate nomination in favor of attempting a House comeback bid.

My friend Phil Stark looks back on Dude and his own “adventures in the screen trade.” ❤️ Personally I think writing feels a lot like a beautiful woman pointing a gun at you.
I Wrote ‘Dude, Where’s My Car’ 25 Years Ago. It Would Never Be Made Today.
In 2000, the author was a young screenwriter writing broad, crude humor to sell into a marketplace that valued it. Then offers dried up. Today, he's quit Hollywood to become a therapist.

Tom Cotton is a Nazi sympathizer.
He is the slimiest, most transparent apologist for the Trump regime.
He barely nuzzles out Graham for that honor.

WELKER: You're talking about Trump protecting Arkansas from drugs, yet he pardoned the former president of Honduras who trafficked more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US. How does that make us safer?
COTTON: I haven't spoken to POTUS about that pardon. I have to know more about the circumstances
