Rubio Keeps His Distance From Midterm Trail

It's really just as simple as like he's doing what he wants to do, which is impactful foreign policy work,
I think if he was looking to run for president in a year or two, he'd be doing everything JD Vance is doing, spending time with donors, cultivating donors, campaigning in the midterms, raising money — he's not doing any of that,
This is to avoid any appearance of partisanship in the conduct of foreign relations and in recognition of the need for the U.S. Government to speak with one voice on foreign policy matters,

Joe Roganpodcaster
There are some people within their system that we know beyond a shadow of a doubt are manipulating and trying to change American public opinion to keep the war going on indefinitely,
Bruce Pearlamerican basketball coach
If he maintains that connection to that antisemite,... I think that’s going to be bad for antisemitism, because he will bring a lot of Tucker Carlsons with him. He’ll uplift them.”
There’s a sentiment here of some discomfort over the vice president speaking. Some people are disappointed,
JD VanceuS Vice President
If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world,

Clyburn Calls for Expanding Supreme Court to 13

James Clyburn called for Congress to expand it to 13 justices during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press."

I have made mistakes in my life, and that’s one that I made. And I will own up to that mistake. “... I had no idea that Clarence Thomas would rebel the way he has against his own background and experiences. He was raised by his grandfather, and he has shown very little sensitivity to the environment his grandfather grew up down in Pin Point, Georgia.”
Jim Clyburnamerican politician (born 1940)
I had hoped that Clarence Thomas would follow the modern underpinnings of that Constitution of ours, but he has not done so,
I think we are in a position now that calls for some significant actions taken by the Congress, and we ought to expand, and 13 is a pretty good number. A baker's dozen, it would be a good number to have on the court."

I don’t want Canadian cars, I don’t want Canadian parts, I don’t want Canadian anything,
Donald Trumppresident

Donald Trumppresident

Donald Trumppresident
Now it's running 24/7, and it's one of the most profitable Car Plants in the World!"
