  15. If this is true, I have an idea: Let's put the National Archives in charge of the Epstein Files! Maybe also the Homan bribery tapes, Donald Trump's tax returns and everything in law in the public interest that should've been released years ago. #MikieSherrill #Sherrill #USArmy #uspoli #GOP #USMC

  16. It's unsurprising the Ras #Baraka has endorsed #Sherrill against Ciattarelli in the #NewJersey governor's race—he was quite warm and civil to her during the campaign, and Ciattarelli has said heinous things about Baraka.

    What gets me is why hasn't #Fulop done the same? Would he prefer Ciattarelli? Or does he just not care because he's exiting politics, and perhaps the state?

  17. They flipped old Republican strongholds, helped convince their colleagues to impeach Donald Trump, and established themselves a moderate counterpart to the Squad.

    Now, “the badasses” are moving on. The close knit group of Democratic women, who adopted the nickname after winning House seats in 2018 following careers in the military and the CIA, is set to dwindle as several of them look toward higher office.

    Rep. Elissa #Slotkin, a former CIA analyst and Defense Department official, is running for U.S. Senate in Michigan. Rep. Abigail #Spanberger, a fellow CIA alum, is leaving Congress after this term to prepare for a run at Virginia’s governorship next year. Rep. Mikie #Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot, is “seriously considering” her own 2025 gubernatorial bid in New Jersey, where she tops early polls, even as she’s campaigning to keep her current seat for now
