BREAKING: Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee just blocked a Republican effort to offer immunity to a former Dr. Fauci assistant in exchange for her testimony. She has been accused of destroying government documents on Fauci's behalf. Only one Democrat showed up to the meeting (Sen. Hassan D-NH), the other six voted no by proxy. All eight Republicans showed up. The resolution required a two-thirds vote to pass and it failed 8-7 along party lines. The unnamed former Fauci assistant previously pleaded the Fifth Amendment before the committee and refused to answer any questions, hence the GOP effort to offer her immunity from prosecution in exchange for her testimony. Republicans on the committee blasted their Democratic colleagues for not showing up, and for "having no interest in the truth." Chairman @RandPaul (R-KY): "There's no principal reason to vote against giving her immunity, the only reason is that you don't want her to answer, and you do not want to know the truth." Sen: @RonJohnsonWI (R-WI): "I do not want to see Anthony Fauci's assistant go to jail. I want the truth. I think it's pretty obvious today, we only have one Democrat here, we're not going to get it."

Trump is throwing 15 million people off their healthcare and doubling insurance premiums for over 20 million. Now he wants to kick another 750,000 people off the ACA. Trump's horrific priorities: tax breaks for the rich, billions more for war, cruelty for working families.

Over the past few days I have heard a number of very sober, well-reasoned commentators on the political right talking about the midterms and related polling. They uniformly speak about the House already being a lost cause for the GOP, and they focus on whether the GOP can hold the Senate. Things do not need to be this way. Trump won in 2024 by large margins. The only reason that cannot be repeated this fall is if YOU—the average Trump voter—decides to let it happen. I know, I know, I know. Trump has not made all of your hopes and dreams come true in two years’ time. You think he has done nothing, even though he has had profound victory after profound victory in areas like immigration and downsizing the federal government. You have your pet issue that has not been satisfied to the extent you demand, so you want to “Stay home and send them a message.” Yes the GOP sucks. It’s a heinous mess of self-interest and failed status quo maintenance. But the only thing worse is the Democrat Party. We are running against LITERAL COMMUNISTS who want to abolish the Senate, pack the Supreme Court, add two new deep blue states, open the borders to unlimited immigration and succumb to creeping Sharia and jihad in order to literally destroy the nation. (Plus, they will spend the next two years impeaching Trump and everyone in his orbit, fully defeating what you voted for in 2024.) So you have two choices. It’s a binary choice, there is no third option: 1. Vote for doing everything we can to pursue MAGA even if that’s not perfect. 2. Stay home and become ruled by literal Communists who want you dead. Choose. We can still win this fall, we just need the will to do it.

The primary elections are when you remove RINOs. The general elections are when you prevent communism.

Jensen Huang, the CEO of leading AI company Nvidia, just said: If an AI model will "damage the world — then I think the answer is that we have to shut the labs down." My new bill to ban Artificial Superintelligence would do just that. If you can't control it, don't build it.

For the ~1,000th time... How is it possible for an entire profession to be in complete denial over the entirely justified way they are despised by most of the population? "Journalism" has stooped so low that the best way to digest what they spew is a variation on the George Costanza Opposites Rule: whatever the press tells you, assume the exact opposite is true. How can these people show so little introspection?

“Here’s what Democrats should offer: Stop the data centers. Make AI safe. Protect your health care. Fix the rotten Supreme Court. Get us out of the Middle East. Renew our friendship with Canada. Hold the oligarchs accountable. Release the Epstein files.” thebulwark.com/p/democrats-s…
