Ted Cruz says there is “considerable evidence” that George Soros is funding #NoKingsDayOct18th… …then produces no evidence at all. As a No Kings organizer, I can confirm: We get nothing. The protesters get nothing. Ted Cruz knows this. See you Saturday https://t.co/ZgXAyABCi2

Dear national media: Instead of using photos of LBJ signing the Voting Rights Act, use this one of its bi-partisan reauthorization. It does more to show how far we’ve regressed in a few short years.

The ring leaders of the conversation are two years younger than Vance.
Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina. Elon Musk does too. Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come. There is zero oversight. Congress not involved. One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

I work with young republican staffers constantly and can confirm. This is depressing and tiring and correct.
The Republican staffer class is FILLED with Nazis - a huge contingent of literal Hitler-worshippers. You feel crazy talking about it, but if you spend any amount of time here, you know it. This has been dreadfully underreported & I'm glad it's getting covered.
