The election wasn’t rigged. Reality continues to be a difficult opponent for the president, and I’ll let his assertions of brilliance speak for themselves.

Trump: “A RIGGED ELECTION IN VIRGINIA! All day long Republicans were winning until the very end when, of course, there was a massive ‘Mail In Drop!’ … I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about … Let’s see if the Courts will fix this”

Trump: “A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA! All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive ‘Mail In Ballot Drop!’ Where have I heard that before … As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they! Let’s see if the Courts will fix this travesty”

We are heartbroken beyond words by the passing of our beloved daughter, Madison, 36, after a decades-long battle with juvenile diabetes and other health issues. She filled our lives with love and laughter, and her absence leaves an immeasurable void.

We are grateful for the loving support of friends and family during this difficult time and ask for privacy as we navigate this profound loss.

Trump claims he made a bunch of deals with Big Pharma to lower drug prices. Now he is asking Congress to codify these deals. There is only one problem. They refuse to tell Congress exactly what is in these deals. Democrats are not going to rubber stamp Trump's shady drug deals.

This heartbreaking situation is a painful reminder that mental health challenges and personal crises, when left unaddressed, can have devastating and irreparable consequences. Seeking help must be encouraged, supported, and free of stigma.

I am shocked and saddened by this senseless and horrific tragedy. I am praying for the entire Fairfax family and their loved ones, most especially Justin and Cerina’s children.

I confronted Trump’s OMB Director about the Big Ugly Bill adding $4T to the deficit. I also asked him if the Trump Administration intended to leave a better budget deficit than the one they inherited from the Biden Administration. His response (or lack thereof) is telling.
