While Senate Republican leaders have so far followed a hands-off policy plan for the midterms, Sen. Rick Scott is forging ahead with his own platform for the GOP if they retake Congress next year. The first-term Florida Republican and chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee released an 11-point plan through Politico on Tuesday. 'Americans deserve to know what we will do when given the chance to govern,' he said. The agenda includes a mix of classic Republican priorities - shrinking the federal government and enacting national voter ID laws - and culture war measures, such as declaring that there are 'two genders,'

"Americans deserve to know what we will do when given the chance to govern,' he said." It's nice to have some talk, but why should we expect anything different from what they did the past 2 times the GOP had the presidency, the House, and the Senate? Nothing.

First step for the Republicans is to differentiate themselves from the Democrats. Second step is to really mean it by following through on what they propose. Not holding my breath but liking what I see so far. Go Rick Scott! He's my new Senator. What a difference from Schumer and Gillibrand.

There's little support among Americans for a major U.S. role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to a new poll, even as President Joe Biden imposes new sanctions and threatens a stronger response that could provoke retaliation from Moscow.Biden has acknowledged a growing likelihood that war in Eastern Europe would affect Americans, though he has ruled out sending troops to Ukraine. Gas prices in the U.S. could rise in the short term. And Russian President Vladimir Putin has a range of tools he could use against the U.S., including cyberattacks hitting critical infrastructure and industries.

He seemed to have enormous difficulty just reading the teleprompter coherently, and it was only a 10-minute address.You would think that – given what Biden was calling an invasion that could affect so much – that he might think the American people deserved some greater explanation of what the Administration was going to do in response — beyond reciting his 10-minute, canned speech.But no such luck.
