"I mean, these people just are, you know, dirty, rotten scoundrels — cheaters," @SenJohnBarrasso said.

The inconsistent spelling in this press release is deeply troubling.
Texas deserves a senator who can spell — not one that hides behind ChatGPT.

Tough to take a lecture on “rigged systems” the day after the New York Times exposed your campaign for stacking the ballot.
Kate Cooksey Noyes retweeted
While some may try to write this off as just how politics works now, ballot-stacking should have no place in our electoral process. Run and win on your merits: your views, your policy ideas, and your accomplishments. By contrast, recruiting candidates to manipulate the field and influence voting outcomes is simply wrong. Alaskans deserve the honest truth from Mary and her campaign—what has been revealed is a pattern of lies and coverups and a culture of deception that belongs nowhere in our elections or among our elected officials.

What we've known all along
Mary Peltola is a liar, and Decoy Dan is a fraud
SCOOP: Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot.
But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run -- as well as other candidates.

News: Trump is bringing three football stars — Johnny Manziel, Colt McCoy and Danny Amendola — onto the campaign trail in Texas tomorrow
The play: Turn football fans into midterm voters — especially the young men who helped Trump win in '24

For decades Democrats have blocked projects to lower energy prices in the Northeast. Their lame attacks aren’t fooling anybody.
Democrats knock GOP opponents over the high cost of home heating oil in @PunchbowlNews PM.
Plus, Warnock wants more focus on Black voters:

News: Barrasso is going to Texas next week for a bus tour with Ken Paxton.
He'll also be in Michigan and (as we previously reported) Kentucky. More about his travels and how he's feeling about the map:

Sen. Susan Collins blasts Troy Jackson over his “shut up” remark, saying his response was “very telling” given his reputation for how he treats women who disagree with him:
“I was struck by how reflexive the response, ‘Oh, shut up,’ was. But then I thought about the reputation that Troy Jackson has in Augusta, particularly when he’s dealing with women with whom he disagrees. So, in some ways, it didn’t surprise me. And the fact that it seemed like such an automatic, quick reply was very telling.”
Odd that Playbook didn’t mention the fate of Beto and Jamie Harrison. Gotta wonder if they ever made it to the Senate for more than a tour? 🤔
Confirming this morning’s @PunchbowlNews scoop…

Democrats have this manifesto. Their manifesto would eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement, open the border, open the prisons, and put these people into our communities. They want to defund the military, defund the police, and raise taxes to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants.

Democrats want high gas prices. That's the difference between commonsense Republicans and these crazy Democrats who've been nominated all around the country.
That's a Dodgers fan for you! Worse than the Yankees.
Defund the police? In Texas? YIKES!
Talarico is too radical for Texas.
NEW KFILE looking at James Talarico’s record on policing in 2020. Talarico told a youth group then calling for defunding police that it was "rich" that "defund the police" was "off limits" in political debate when Texas had spent decades defunding public schools and health services. Said, "Our system of policing is deeply broken. We must replace it with something new and something better," and asked about instead sending "highly-trained crisis interventionists," some for some emergencies.
In June 2020, he donated $2,500 to the Austin Justice Coalition, a group calling for defunding police, a donation he later defended. He also criticized Gov. Abbott's proposal to cut revenue to cities like Austin over local decisions to reduce police funding. In 2022, Talarico said that if the country took "just half of what we spent on wars, prisons, and policing" and spent it on education, health care, and jobs, "we could make prisons obsolete."
Talarico's campaign says he "did not call for and does not support defunding the police" and has voted to send billions of dollars to local law enforcement.
