Husted wasn’t even a D3 All-American, which is being reported. He was named to the third team by an unofficial publication called Don Hansen’s Football Gazette. Dayton does not list him as a former All-American.

Trump is now claiming that Jon Husted is one of the greatest football players ever

If/when Trump shows up in hell, Hitler’s gonna be like, “I’m not sharing the basement with this fucking guy.”

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Probably doesn’t hurt that a lot up the mouth-breathing dipshits in this district will see the name “Alvarado” and assume he’s the Democrat.

It is not every day you see a race steadily move from solid red to toss-up. Some handicappers still have it leaning Republican, but Cooks Political Report now rates KY-06 as a toss-up the night after their debate

Note the way she rushes through this. It’s really tough for people who still feel shame to pull it off.

Ashley Hinson: "This one really really ticked me off. Josh Turek thinks it's okay to go school and have the kids be able to change their gender pronouns at school and not tell the parents about it. That is just crazy, right?"

Literally just taking all the red meat and throwing it in a blender.

That’s lot of words to say Elon did it.

WELKER: Zelenskyy just said he believes the govt slowed Starlink. Can you definitely say no one in the administration ordered restrictions? BESSENT: Trump & Rubio have categorically said no one in the admin did that. Zelenskyy should be very careful about making reckless statements like that

The only thing more absurd than the idea that COVID targeted rich people is the claim that Trump called a friend in the hospital to see how they were doing.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "He was rich, heavy, and old. That is a perfect covid victim."

“Something came out” = Natalie printed out a tweet from a right-wing influencer.

Who among us isn’t functionally illiterate before lunch?

lol -- Zacharia suggests her briefing was a disaster bc it was in the morning & day before was a holiday "Typically briefs are in afternoon where the press sec has ample time to be briefed. This was a very different intake. And the briefing materials got to me evening before bc it was a holiday..."

Q: Can you name a time when you voted against Trump and it changed the outcome? SUSAN COLLINS: At one point, I had organized people to vote against Sec. Hegseth. At the very last minute one of our Republicans changed his mind. Otherwise he would've been defeated. Q: So it didn't change the outcome

No one has to watch it, but Trump will probably turn it into a 30-second spot that airs during SEC football games.

BRENNAN: Nidal Hasan is in a wheelchair. Doesn't the administration risk livestreaming this and making him a martyr? Couldn't this be a risk to the homeland? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: No one has to watch it B: Well then why are you livestreaming it? MULLIN: The president is restoring American values

When journalism dies, “Let’s turn to the midterms” should be written on its tombstone.

KARL: This idea of livestreaming an execution -- US Catholic Bishops called it 'a barbaric promotion of culture of death.' Are you in favor? EMMER: I'm so happy we have a president who will make a decision in the best interest of the people. He will hold the criminals and terrorists accountable.

You’re more likely to run into Giorgio Armani — the actual person — in Little Italy than an Italian immigrant.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "New York City officials released a map showing ethnic communities. It includes Little Senegal, Little Guyana, but it does not include a place called Little Italy. An unthinkable omission. We are gonna work on that immediately, or we're not going to be sending them any of the billions .... "

Only took a couple of days for Trump to start defending the rapists.

The entire story is bullshit, of course, but the least believable part is the part where he makes the “second cousin” joke in real time.

If I lose $25 thousand a year with grocery stores, and I say ‘I’m not going to trade with you anymore,’ I don’t lose $25 thousand a year. It’s very simple. Right?

Ah yes, I’m certain US companies are investing in Venezuelan oil so they can sell it to the U.S. government at a 75% discount.

Fact: if you say a country is becoming “dirtier” due to the immigration of non-white people, you are definitely a racist.
