The GOP just canceled $10 million in fall ads for Senate in PA, AZ and WI. This is a clear sign of financial problems. Hardest hit was PA, more than $5 million in Philly alone. They’ve given up on Oz.

Not sure how this happened, but we've lost Frau Ingram?!

another rough day for the former guy: not only does he lose his girlfriend laura, but he also informs us the the FBI confiscated his passports... that's going to make it difficult to "temporarily" visit russia.

when I abscond with Top secret info, I always make sure my passports are in the same boxes, duh!

makes sense: those TS dox are mostly valuable to those outside the country, so once the highest bidder emerges you'll need to hand-deliver them (at that price, they expect premier service).

the array continues to happen...although this photo does look a little creepy

Biden hands Joe Manchin the pen he used to sign the Inflation Reduction Act.

One of the pens. Traditionally, POTUS uses one pen for each letter of their name in signing ceremonies.

(Unless, in this particular case, he used a single pen for this bill...)

That’s a great picture

Biden’s expression says “You really deserve it”

Gotta hand it to Biden that he kept his cool regarding Manchin (when everyone wanted him to go medieval on Manchin) and eventually Manchin came around.

When Liz Cheney is sent packing tonight by Wyoming’s voters, it will be the first time in over a hundred years we will no longer have any Bush’s, McCain’s, Cheney’s or Clinton’s in office!

Damn, this Brandon MFer's not just calling out their bullshit, he's got the goddamn receipts!

 “pawn for the Democrats.”

I guess since the didn’t give a vote on the SCOTUS for Garland, he was playing the long game as he knew Dark Brandon would make him AG and get Trump

yeah, while I want it MJ is not THE issue

Roe is really shaping up to be a big factor in an off year election(I know they were already saying that...but it's now post labor day and shit is getting real)

youth vote typically sucks donkey dick, but this is finally an issue that may bring them to the polls

the other factor is there are enough hard core republicans women who will vote D in the booth if their guy is saying they are going to make abortion illegal

Off year elections are always a little bit of a wildcard due to low turnout...don't think that's going to be the case in 2022


this was a good commentary on it

@MalloryMcMorrow
Republicans in June: "It's not an abortion ban; it's sending the issue to the states."

*States all over the country organize to protect access to abortion*

Republicans now: "Elect us and we will pass a nationwide abortion ban."

I know you all hate the polling...but man Biden is having quite the comeback on approval polling
lots of post labor day polls have him in the 45% range...considering he was in the 30s for June/july/aug

It is interesting to note, that almost every president was at exactly the same approval at this time in their first term ...even trump(except for both bush's who had great numbers...I get W due to 9/11, but not sure why everyone was so jazzed by H 18 months in?)

Americans continue to judge Presidents based on what 87 octane gasoline costs, for some reason.
