Annie has been on fire down the stretch A coalition builder and someone who cuts through the culture war nonsense to talk real issues. I am proud to support @AnnieAndrewsMD
This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: South Carolina deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

Vivek could’ve chosen to lose with some modicum of class. Instead, he’s going down by siding with a child rapist. This is how America - including Vivek’s kids - will remember him.
INSANE. Vivek Ramaswamy says Dr. Acton’s childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while being confronted yesterday

Vets are just a prop for spinless sycophants.
In 2020, Tommy Tuberville promised to donate “every dime” of his $174,000 Senate salary to Alabama veterans and their families. A June investigation found no evidence he followed through, a pledge now worth roughly $1 million. Tuesday night, after a reporter asked about it, Tuberville told staff to remove him. Then he called the media “socialists” and “communists.”

Service members, contractors, and military families are now coming forward with images they say the Pentagon hid, and the accounts behind them are brutal. From Saudi Arabia to Kuwait to Jordan, American bases were pummeled by Iranian drones and missiles. Most of this happened in the early months of the war, yet these pictures are only emerging now, because the people who lived it are tired of the Pentagon's coverup. They’re taking a real risk by leaking these photos. The least we can do is make sure people see them. meidasnews.com/news/so-much-…

Incompetence all around. They break everything they touch.
EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth wanted Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it. We have photos.

Wait, so Vets who were poisoned, have to cast a vote a certain way to receive compensation they are owed? If a Dem said this, it would be be a 5 alarm fire on cable news. But just another day in Trump world.
Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

In what world is Putin a "humanitarian?” He's assassinated political rivals and journalists, bombed hospitals, and started a war that has intentionally killed tens of thousands of innocent people, including women and children. He's a war criminal.
Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian — you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”

WTF, Steve? Look up the definition of “humanitarian.” What an embarrassing and outrageous thing to say. You should go back to Ukraine and ask the families of the children Putin has kidnapped and murdered whether they agree your friend Putin is a “humanitarian.”

Putin a humanitarian? Good grief.
us special envoy steve witkoff to president putin: “you talk so much about my president, president trump, being a humanitarian. you are a humanitarian also, sir, and i salute that.” truly hard to watch.

Inflation is out of control, our roads need a lot of help and DC corruption is unchecked. Republicans: what about the bathrooms!?!?
This is HANDS DOWN the best ad of the midterm cycle. Republicans think we won't push back on their culture war BS. THINK AGAIN. #MAGAInYourBathroom

It's been a good week for Putin. In recent days, Trump has: * Struck a diesel deal lifting some sanctions * Restricted Starshield for Ukraine * Cut intel warnings of Russian missile launches against Ukraine for several days * Canceled Lindsey Graham sanctions * Demanded Ukraine dump Zelensky * Absolved Russia for helping Iran fight the US * Pushed Europe to resume buying Russian gas

JD Vance was confronted by a Gold Star husband, and his response will make your blood boil. Joey Amor’s wife, Master Sgt. Nicole Amor, was one of six service members killed in the Port Shuaiba drone attack on March 1, 2026, the first American casualties of the Iran war. He looked the Vice President in the eye and asked how the administration would hold leaders accountable for the fundamental failures that got his wife killed. Vance’s answer? “This is literally the first time I’ve heard of this.” Either the Vice President is ignorant, or he doesn’t know who made the ultimate sacrifice in his and Trump’s name. Either way it's a disgrace and we are furious.

Trump’s original Ambassador to Ukraine
A year and a half ago Trump stopped helping Ukraine defend itself, and put pressure on Zelenskyy to make a deal with Russia. Now, Trump is actively supporting Putin: waiving sanctions, disrupting StarShield, and making a diesel deal. (1/3)
