Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that Republicans want to control recreational sex and create a “patriarchal theocracy.” ... She added, “And going beyond that, they also want to control what they call recreational sex. Recreational sex!

"No one offered to resign, in large part because the president didn't believe anyone had made a mistake," Politico's Alexander Ward wrote in "The Internationalists: The Fight to Restore Foreign Policy After Trump," reported Axios.

As US allies reel from Donald Trump’s weekend comments encouraging Russia to attack European allies if they don’t meet NATO budget contribution goals, multiple former Trump advisers warn in my upcoming book that the former president will seek to formally withdraw the US from the NATO alliance if he wins a second term.

@GovLarryHogan I am running for the United States Senate – not to serve one party – but to stand up to both parties, fight for Maryland, and fix our nation's broken politics. It’s what I did as Maryland’s governor, and it’s exactly how I'll serve Maryland in the Senate. Let’s get back to work.

The opening paragraph is a hoot! Have you heard? The Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift tie-up is some kind of deep state psy-op that will culminate in a Swift endorsement of Joe Biden at midfield at the end of a victorious Super Bowl victory in which Kelce will set new pass reception records with the help of an officiating crew drawn from suspended UNRWA staff. But this is just one giant misdirection, and I can’t believe people are falling for it. With north of 100 million people tuned in, the Kelce-Swift 2024 ticket will be announced, replacing Biden-Harris. Their first campaign pledge...

"When you hear news like this about a company, particularly a Massachusetts company, immediately...

His endorsement remains the single most coveted asset that any Republican could hope to brandish in a primary race, and he has already received support from an overwhelming majority of prominent elected Republicans. In this election cycle, Mr. Trump has received endorsements from 130 House members and 31 senators, a majority of both Republican caucuses, according to an analysis by...
