GOP Rep. Sam Graves retirement pushes Republican House exits to 36 in 2026
Rats are leaving the ship…
“I expect more retirements," political scientist Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute told Newsmax earlier this year. "The House is not a pleasant place right now. If you are interested in governing – something that is not even on the radar screen for most Republicans in the body – there is not a lot to commend it."
Not everyone is chasing the commercial-money bag. Los Angeles indie rock trio Cheekface just announced their upcoming album Podium last week, and now they've told the story of how they recently turned down a lucrative chance to appear in an AT&T commercial because of the companies ties to ICE and the Dept.

@Neil E. Hodges Basically from a textbook "how to hit the enemy hard" Iran has targeted Radar stations and now this plane... deliberated priced targets to hit the USA most.
And where is the pentagon masterplan for that "special operation"? If any exist.
In short: those of us not currently targeted by the regime are living under the normative state, while those targeted by the regime are living under the prerogative state, mirroring Ernst Fraenkel's "dual state" that was the Nazi regime in Germany.
The unfortunate reality is that this regime gets to choose who lives under which law, which means the dividing line can move at any time. :(
The move comes as part of Britain's response to the Iran war, with the conflict triggering the largest supply disruption in the history of the oil market.
