A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:
Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%.
He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.

It wasn't carrying fentanyl.

If they weren't afraid to justify their actions, they'd release the video and make their case to Congress.
But they're far too busy chest thumping to care that they're dragging us into another forever war the American people do not want.

They seem to think they can kill whoever they want with no evidence and without Congressional approval.
And it's troubling that they're hiding behind classification to specifically avoid accountability and transparency to the American people.

Another round of weak economic data Almost a year into Trump’s policies, Americans are worse off. You can’t tell families to be patient while bills keep rising. Since “Liberation Day,” job growth is just 17,000 a month and over 700,000 Americans are unemployed than last year. Bad!
