If Democrats were counting on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) being a team player this cycle, they severely miscalculated. Sure, after she lost the Democrat Senate primary to state Rep. James Talarico (D-Texas) earlier this year, she endorsed him right away, but it’s basically been the cold shoulder ever since. While Democrats nationwide are convinced Talarico represents their best chance to flip Texas, Crockett just threw cold water on their fantasy when she told a national reporter she has no idea if Talarico can win, and let slip the sign that he probably won’t.

Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) claimed Republicans would vote for Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Jayapal said, “I’m struck by the fact that they have nothing positive to offer voters. All they can do is try to attach labels to Abdul El-Sayed after seeing a primary. That was a remarkable turnout from voters. I mean, 1.4 million votes, I believe, were cast in the Michigan primary; people are electrified and being on the ground with Abdul. I can tell you he is an electrifying candidate. He has really mobilized a whole group of voters who had given up

Abdul El-Sayed's victory over moderate Rep. Haley Stevens is taking up all the oxygen in the room today but you don't have to look very far for evidence that last night was not the resounding win the far left had been hoping for. Start with El-Sayed himself. Going into election day his win was considered a given and some were seeing a potential double-digit blowout, but that didn't happen. Coming into Election Day, Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary was widely expected. A blowout seemed possible. Instead, his victory margin will likely be less than two percentage points... El-Sayed did not deliver a resounding

Only 25 years after the September 11 attacks on the United States, a major political party has fallen in with people who view that attack as deserved and the attackers as righteous. If it were parody, no one would accept it because good parody is based in truth and the truth is this fall of the Democratic Party is not believable. Sure, they’ve expressed sympathies for enemies of the United States before, but always for political advantage only; now they appear to mean it or are so afraid of it they won’t say anything to the contrary.

Federal and Pennsylvania prosecutors have charged 19 defendants in connection with a $4 million scheme to defraud Medicare and Medicaid, the latest sign of the taxpayer-funded waste that has long plagued government health programs, Fox News reported. The defendants named in the case include owners of home health care companies, their employees and Medicaid recipients who allegedly conspired to bill the government for services that were never rendered, according to prosecutors.Investigators say the defendants billed Medicaid for home health services while recipients were behind bars, in the hospital, working other jobs or out of the country entirely. In one instance, prosecutors said,

Francesca Hong, the radical leftist running for governor of Wisconsin, has been in the news for the last two days over negative comments she once made about Thanksgiving being a symbol of colonialism and ‘the original superspreader.’ Well, the polling on that must have come in because now Hong is out there telling people that Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday and she totally means it, everyone. These people have no shame. They will literally look you in the face and say whatever they think will open the doors of power for them. They think no one remembers a thing.

Before I get into this, I just want to say that all of this is coming from anonymous sources. Neither the White House nor the CIA has commented on it, and I can't independently confirm it. More often than not, anonymously sourced MSM articles on Venezuela and Cuba tend to be false or only have bits of truth sprinkled in, but I felt this topic was worth a mention as we watch the Donald Trump administration work toward a free Cuba. So, take them with a grain of salt. They may or may not be true, but here's what Politico and the New York Times are reporting this week.

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the U.S.’ first flu shot that uses mRNA technology: mFlusiva, from drugmaker Moderna. The FDA granted approval for two age groups, adults 50 to 65 and adults 65 and up, on the condition that Moderna run an additional clinical trial in the older group, the company said in a release. In a late-stage trial, mFlusiva was found to be about 27% more effective than a standard flu shot. Many scientists and public health experts have touted the idea of an mRNA-based flu vaccine, which uses the same messenger RNA platform as the Covid vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer.

Some blockbuster news is dropping Wednesday night as pertains to the ongoing congressional investigations into Anthony Fauci: a copy of the diminutive doctor's COVID-era phone has landed in the hands of the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).According to an exclusive report in the Wall Street Journal, the phone was handed over by the Department of Health and Human Services, and is likely to contain additional records about Fauci's conduct during the pandemic. This comes a week after Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) publicly released an archive of documents related to Fauci's handling of COVID, including his diaries.

President Donald Trump touted the results of his economic policies in Las Vegas on Wednesday, including 40,000 new jobs for Nevadans since his second term began.Trump highlighted his administration’s economic wins in the Silver State and nationally while delivering remarks at Red Rock Casino.Here in Nevada, we’ve created over 40,000 new jobs and lifted nearly 100,000 Nevadans off of food stamps,” he said. ” And they don’t want to be on food stamps, because they’ve got new jobs. They’ve got jobs. They don’t need food stamps.” He then noted that more Americans are working now than ever before.

Efforts to advance the SAVE America Act received a boost on Wednesday afternoon following what Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, described as a “very productive” Senate Republican meeting. Lee said discussions have moved in a “very favorable direction.” “We’re talking now much more about how best to do this—not whether to stay and work on the SAVE America Act, but what procedural vehicle to use in order to get this thing done,” Lee said after the meeting. The procedural vehicle Lee referenced is the $95 billion House-passed budget resolution, a potential reconciliation package in which portions of the SAVE America Act could be included.

They got the last laugh. Mayor Zohran Mamdani was battered by boos before he quickly exited the stage in Staten Island Tuesday night at one of the Big Apple’s pro-police celebrations. A smiling Hizzoner was forced to offer up some abbreviated remarks at the Midland Beach boardwalk for the NYPD’s 43rd Patrol Borough National Night Out Against Crime where some 3,500 residents and families had gathered to celebrate, the Staten Island Advance reported. His appearance drew loud jeers and a tirade of profanities from attendees as the Democratic socialist made his way up to the podium — with some shouting him down to leave, social media videos show.
