Not to defend Cuellar but isn’t pay-to-play how it’s all done either directly or indirectly?

As for Hicks tears, til an alternative is given I’m going with the realization that she just painted a target for MAGAts on her back as the reason. The news media can make all the assumptions they want but treating same as anything but the bullshit it is… well, there’s a reason trust in the elite media just keeps declining.

I wish you would write more about the stories you link to. I do not have subscriptions to WSJ or Esquire, or others you have referenced. I value your perspective.

MTG is using the empty Mike Johnson "vacate" call-to-arms as purely a fund-raising ploy, as Notus reports. Her "campaign" funds - running against NOBODY - was running v. low, until the vacate grift brought a yuuge response, then the harridan is sticking with what brings in the dollars.

The fact that the House senior Democrat leaders backed Rep. Henry Cuellar over a progressive challenger a few years ago suggests support for Corporate Democrats vs any attempt at progress.

This hypocrisy empowers cynicism in honest voters.

Games are played while democracy at risk.
