    A local Indiana GOP official cried foul after a voting machine test resulted in an inaccurate count. It turns out that's because he stole ballots. It was caught on video. He's charged with a crime.

    Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Georgia) with a strong warning to Ratcliffe -- and perhaps Gabbard: "And by the way, we will get the full transcript of this chain, and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content."

    It bears emphasizing this wasn’t a “college group chat.” Young Republicans range from 18 to 40. Some of the people mentioned in the Politico story are in their 30s and well established in GOP politics.

    This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat, and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia. I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence.

    Macron goes there: "If [Putin agreeing to a meeting] doesn't happen by Monday, the deadline set by President Trump, it means that once again President Putin played President Trump." That "once again" is really something.

    The Justice Department has removed a study from its website which found that "the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism." The 2024 study was still live earlier this week.

    Lutnick 5 days ago said smartphone manufacturing was coming to the U.S. because of tariffs. Now we learn smartphones are excluded from the tariffs.

    Trump on CNBC: "I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know, and we are entitled to five more seats." Fact check: Trump's 56% in Texas 2024 isn't even in the top 10. He ranks 15th, historically. He won less than Nixon, Reagan and George W. Bush.

    Mark Meadows said in his book that the 2020 election was "stolen" and "rigged." Under legal scrutiny, he has reportedly said something quite different. Now his conservative book publisher is suing him for allegedly using false information in the book.
