Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

We cannot let this be normal. A sitting United States President has called for ‘death’ to sitting Members of Congress.
Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.

Lets explain how escalating/manufacturing a military confrontation with Venezuela gives the administration a legal “hook” to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, one of the oldest national-security laws still on the books. This statute allows a president to detain, restrict, or deport non-citizens

Something about the shooting yesterday doesn't feel right.
It feels too convenient. A vetted Afgan national that was granted asylum, randomly shoots a National Guardsman near the WH for no reason right when the NG was set to leave DC because there was no violence.
Now the NG is not leaving DC.

First and foremost, prayers for Andrew Wolfe's recovery and for the family of Sarah Beckstrom.
Second, the suspect must face justice and there must be an investigation to determine if any others are involved.
Third, this criminal act must not be imputed to all Afghan refugees
