Tomorrow a special election is being held in the state of Tennessee for a Congressional seat in the House of Representatives. We should keep our eyes on that because Tennessee is a deeply red state and there's a chance the Democrats could actually flip it.

Why this Tennessee special election has the 'whole world' watching

The race to fill a vacant seat in the historically deep-red House district serves as the latest test of how much ground Republicans have lost with voters since President Trump returned to the White House.

This will be the latest test for the Republicans. Since Orange Fruit Cake and his Nazi gang have taken over the White House, their demonstrable inability to govern has caused them to lose a lot of ground with voters. Yeah, sure, they can campaign and win elections but once they get in there they can't get anything done. It takes them forever just to elect a Speaker of the House. The government was shut down for over a month because they couldn't pass a budget. I think people are fed up and they want a change.

Like I said, Tennessee is a deeply red state. Lots of people waving their guns, bibles and confederate flags around. It will speak volumes if this election is close. It will say a lot more if the Democrats actually win.

Stand by.

I'd also argue that if this one is very close or flipped, it will inspire good candidates in other red districts previously thought unwinnable and result in some money going their way.

Fears grow inside military over illegal orders after Hegseth authorized follow-up boat strike

Honestly, we should already be demanding the names of any pilots doing these illegal bombing runs.

 

[Chooch555]

We already know Hegseth and Trump's names. We just need to the guts to hold them accountable.

The reality is that they're untouchable right now. AND we know who they are. There's no chance they get to pretend not to have been involved. We need to know WHO is willingly carrying out these orders before -those- names disappear forever into some 'oops, we lost the file' burn room.

 

[TheSameIdiot]

I need some fucking D electeds to come out and say that war crimes will be treated as such in 2027 or 2029.

I don't know a single Democratic voter who doesn't want that. Stop pussyfooting around and hold them accountable.
