One of President Trump's bête noire in the Senate, Republican Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who voted to convict in Trump's impeachment trial in 2021, lost his primary battle, gaining only 25% of the vote in a three-way contest, that saw Trump-endorsed Julia Letlow and John Flemming advance to a run-off election for the party’s nomination. He never disavowed the impeachment vote despite subsequent evidence showing the shady origins of the charges, although he tried to ingratiate himself with Trump later. Joe Chalfant at TownHall, RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy Loses Historic Senate Primary Race. Sundance at CTH is pleased that Incumbent Senator Bill Cassidy Loses His Senate Seat in Primary – Places Third, Will Not Be in Runoff. At Althouse, "His disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of legend, and it’s nice to see that his political career is OVER." "Said Trump, in social media, quoted in "Trump Gets Revenge Against Republican Who Voted to Convict Him" (Bloomburg)...Conceding, Cassidy said "I find that people of character and integrity don’t spend their time attacking people on the internet."" When one strikes at the king... At TownHall, Salena Zito thinks Experts Miss Trump's Enduring Presence in American Politics in Indiana Races. Sundance notes President Trump Blasts Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert for Campaigning with DeceptiCON Thomas Massie in Kentucky.
Sauron's Eye reports U.K. health secretary will run for prime minister after challenging Starmer's leadership in scathing resignation letter. Meanwhile, it is unreliably reported by the Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "Sir Keir reportedly standing down. Sounds like a win for Team Britain. Nothing on Starmer's X feed. I have to assume he'll have some self serving excuses. But the fact is, after he smeared these people repeatedly, they were the ones who showed and behaved like Englishmen today. And it was clearly a cross section of native Britons, to include those of non-native descent who have chosen to adopt the ways of Britain. And clearly it finally got through to him. May he come to understand how he has defamed them and injured them." Quote Tommy Robinson @TRobinsonNewEra, "Everyone who turned up today and behaved impeccably ended this tyrant . Thank you x.com/basilthegreat/…" Quote Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat, "KEIR STARMER HAS ANNOUNCED HE IS STANDING DOWN AS PRIME MINISTER. It's finally happened." At Da Mail, DAN HODGES says My sources tell me Keir has decided to stand down, but he'll do it on his terms. wretchardthecat @wretchardthecat, "The dueling rallies in the UK the media narrative pro-Palestine "nakba" rally vs the Tommy Robinson Unite the Kingdom that were held largely peacefully were driven by rival strategies. Keir Starmer took a very hard line against Robinson, going so far as to deploy facial recognition vans in the Unite rally route to signal to his base that he was truly a man of the Left, something his Labour leadership rivals have accused him of abandoning. Robinson by contrast wanted to legitimize his issues and deliberately turned the Unite the Kingdom event into a conservative Woodstock. This was probably as much to mollify class suspicions as ideological ones. Robinson is the wrong kind of guy, after all. Not a Sir, not Oxbridge. He had to show he wasn't going to lose it on stage and he didn't. On the whole the event was Tommy's to lose and he didn't." wretchardthecat @wretchardthecat, "In fact I am struck by the embarassing degree to which which snobbery plays a role in Left/Right politics. Progressives have by imperceptibly slow degrees become the party of respectability, toffs, dignity and propriety. The real emotional fuel for Trump hatred is only partly fueled by logical disagreement. Most of it comes from his choice of furniture, design of ballroom, the ghastly red caterpillar cap, vulgar speech and most of all 'bigly'. They might forgive all else, but never 'bigly'. Over in the UK Starmer's accent proclaims him as estimable and educated. And Lord Ali, Lord Hermer and Lord Mandelson and those in league with him have even been ennobled. By contrast Robinson is described as dressed in "football casual". So while the division between Western liberals and conservatives is probably determined by disagreements over public policy it is in part driven by social self-identification." It was "big-league", but never mind.

Bob Graboyes at Bastiat's Window has the Virginia Supreme Court Ruling Made E-Z, "The logic was simple: "Before an election" means "before the first votes are cast."" AG @AGHamilton29, "You get the game here, right? They file an absurd motion asking the Supreme Court to rule on a case where it clearly has no jurisdiction. Then when it obviously refuses (w 0 dissents), they accuse it of corruption to justify trying to stack the court. Shameful." Quote Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta "The Supreme Court is corrupt." RedState's Nick Arama thinks Kamala Harris 'No Bad Ideas' Video for Dems Is So Awful It Goes Viral - Then She Makes It Worse. Pat Adams @PatAdams96, "Kamala Harris is now calling for Democrats to hold a “No Bad Idea Brainstorm” where they discuss: - Abolishing the Electoral College - Packing the Supreme Court - Making Puerto Rico and D.C. states “We’ve got to neutralize these red states from cheating!”"

Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory, "Bill Maher just delivered the most clear-eyed, no-bullshit monologue on Israel & antisemitism you’ll hear from any mainstream voice in 2026. “Israel was founded on the idea that antisemitism made a Jewish state necessary ...
