also kind of funny that they've got *another* popular high school teacher amid an unpopular war and failed presidency, running an impressive underdog campaign national Democrats pick up on late. it's like a prophecy.

President Trump wants to build a 250-foot-tall arch. If completed, it will cast shadows on many graves and monuments in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, the @washingtonpost.com's 3-D analysis found. On some days, Trump's arch would even shade the grave and eternal flame of JFK.

Bobby Pulido, running for Congress in Texas, is more than a quinceañera singer. The 53-year-old Tejano music legend is the Democratic nominee in a freshly gerrymandered swath of Texas. While the race to unseat his Republican opponent once seemed an uphill battle, polls now consider it a toss-up.

NEW AD: Texans can't afford groceries or healthcare. Because the system has been rigged by billionaires and corrupt politicians like Ken Paxton. Texas needs a senator who will put money in your pocket — not money in their own.

Wisconsin is one of two states I've lived in whose insularity leads to the kind of evolutionary cultural craziness you find in animals in the Galapagos or language in isolated settlements. This is what hath been wrought in the name of sausage

people in this beautiful and diverse and possibly cursed country are just constantly throwing new stuff together in ways that would have been inconceivable to previous generations. it rules. we must defend the scallion pancake BEC, on the beaches and on the landing grounds.

Huge co-sign from Trump on Ramaswamy's shockingly vile ad just now. It has to feel amazing, if you're running as an abusive predator, to get this kind of endorsement from the number one abusive predator in the game.
