I'm still holding out hope for a Cuomo loss, but if that sex pest becomes the mayor of NYC, I will be forced to write it off as an irredeemable hellhole.

Scoop: Trump launches MAGA PAC in effort to oust Rep. Massie from Congress

President Trump's political operation has launched an aggressive effort to unseat Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, its first such effort to defeat a sitting Republican incumbent, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: By going after Massie, Trump's team is looking to put wayward Republicans on notice that they're ready to play hardball.

Massie has attacked Trump over his strike on Iran, saying on X that it was "not Constitutional," prompting the president to fire back on Truth Social that the congressman is "not MAGA."

He also called Massie "weak, ineffective" and "disrespectful to our great military, and all that they stand for."

Massie was one of two House Republicans to vote against Trump's "big beautiful bill" last month, leading Trump to declare that he should be "voted out of office."

Zoom out: Trump's $500 million political apparatus is the most powerful, well-funded force in American politics — and gives Trump a weapon with which to target any lawmaker who crosses him.

If we were billionaires, we’d be giving @theoceancleanup a billion and many other environmental and science orgs. Most billionaires are profiting off the destruction of Earth for far too long. http://dlvr.it/TLVmSs

People across the political spectrum hope Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) makes like a tree and leaves national forests — and other federally owned land — alone.

Last week, the Lee-led Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee released a draft proposal, intended for inclusion in the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” that would mandate the sale of between 2.2 million and 3.3 million acres of public land owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service in the American West.

I honestly, sincerely do not think there was a more obviously counterproductive, dog shit stupid political cohort than those who used every waking moment trying to get Biden, then Harris, to lose because they thought Trump would be better about the Middle East.

Well, let's be honest, they weren't really thinking about what would actually happen in the Middle East if Trump got elected; they were simply high on owning da libssssss
