Chip Franklin: “When I hear Trump and Hegseth call for us to honor our veterans I feel sick. One dodged the draft with multiple deferments for non-existent bone spurs while Hegseth served in the Gulf War in a mostly staff position which makes his attitude towards those currently serving even more disgusting”

I want Medicare for All and prescription drug reform. I want to fix Social Security and raise the minimum wage. Voters gave us a mandate for real reform. I’m willing to work with any Republican willing to help us do that.
Let’s get to work.

🚨 BREAKING: The new Epstein discharge petition just hit 218 signatures. Every Democrat signed, plus Massie, Mace, Norman and Fitzpatrick. That forces a House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which would let survivors and state AGs sue DOJ to release the files. Johnson can’t stop it.

We may have had to count One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, but Blue Mississippi sure has a nice ring to it! Scott, you put your heart and soul into this race because you believe in the promise of your state’s people. And they believed in you right back. I’m honored to have stood alongside you. Congratulations!

Vote Hub and CNN just declared Scott Colom the winner of Mississippi Senate race.
IMO: This ad now goes down as one of the greatest political ads in U.S. history.
Reality: Political ads absolutely work.
We see focus group after focus group where people remember something about a candidate from an opposing candidate's ad. Sometimes it is the only thing they remember.
Below, is the best political ad of 2026 IMO. But the more interesting reason is why.
So I was thinking about the why and what I came up with was: it's more funny than attacking; the people in it feel genuine; it's an issue that most watching can really relate to (a love of beef/a candidate telling you what you can't do) — and Scott Colom feels like he's with you on the ride in the end.
Absolute brilliance, in less than 30 seconds.

A Tomb Guard from the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard” was forced to verbally reprimand Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and loudly talked in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington.
Video of the incident, posted by CNN, shows Hegseth standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver as well as senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh, following a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.

Trump's ex-personal lawyer Alina Habba Mildon faces potential bar discipline in New Jersey after the state's attorney ethics office brought a complaint against her.
The accusation stems from her role in the settlement of a sexual harassment employment dispute between one of Trump's golf clubs and a woman who worked there as a server in 2021 when she was 21. ms.now/deadline-white-house/…

President Donald Trump’s attempt to subvert the midterm election was blocked by the courts in a flurry of temporary orders ahead of Election Day, but ongoing litigation will determine whether he can enact his sweeping attacks on voting for 2028. democracydocket.com/news-ale…
