NEW — At a Texas rally tonight, President Trump claimed that recent praise of Sen. Jon Husted’s “anatomy” improved the latter’s poll numbers by 12 points. VoteHub’s polling average shows a mere 0.8-point improvement for Husted since October 12.

Trump laments animals being fried to death on solar panels, gushes once again about Jon Husted's ass (but disses Ken Paxton's), and brags about "making an absolute fortune" off the Iran War during an uninhibited even by his standards rally in Lubbock Supercut:

Lowering the Medicare age to 50 would cost $180 billion a year. That's $70 billion less than the budget increase the House passed for the Department of War. We could have healthcare over warfare. I'm proud to cosponsor Rep. Jayapal's bill to lower the age from 65 to 50.

Good question - we’re at the point now that even extracting oil gets complicated. The oil is held in salt caverns and water is pumped in at the bottom to displace oil upwards. At 70M barrels, oil water ratio is too low. Water can enter extraction devices and even start eroding the caverns.

If there's a required minimum, what's the fallout and expected actions if it goes below the minimum?

Alabama not only gerrymandered to eliminate a minority seat but they delayed their primary only for the 2 Black seats and 2 adjacent seats so that they could box out Shomari. The fact that Trump is now trying to shore up Shomari’s opponent tells you how things are going for the GOP.

Bale Dalton: My opponent says that the war in Iran and rising gas prices are the cost of freedom. Well, I'm pretty sure that we had freedom before entering into this war of choice in which the only thing that is a viable alternative of getting out is a worse situation than when we got in.
