Life is stressful enough to not have to deal with a MAGA family member.
All I can say is I pray we hang on to both houses for the future of America!
Hell of a question. Don't recall seeing one in a very long time.
Are there any companies in the U.S. that still make pagers?
Slotkin, while campaigning Thursday for congressional candidate Sean McCann, dished on what she has up her sleeve, according to an undercover video obtained exclusively by Townhall.
“I’m worried that we’re going to be too nice,” the person said to Slotkin in the video, triggering a smirk from the senator.
“What are we going to do to hold the Trump regime and its collaborators responsible? I’m talking prosecutions,” the person continued.
“I’m with you,” Slotkin responded. “So basically, assuming we win both houses, even if we just win one, we’ll come up– we have a list of, like, the ‘signature cases.’ So the things where it’s, like, so egregious, such a violation of law, such a corruption case, like– and we will have, in every committee, there will be the ‘signature cases’ that we– where we hold people accountable.”
Slotkin continued, “I just went to Hungary. I went over to Budapest in Hungary because they just got rid of their authoritarian leader after 16 years.” The Michigan senator said she was there seeking advice for how to go after the Trump administration.
“And I’m like, how did you handle 16 years of corruption? We don’t have that much, but we have so much,” she said. “And they did this ‘signature cases’ (strategy),” Slotkin said.
She went on to say “they’re the ones that people identify with,” specifically naming the ballroom project in the East Wing of the White House, the reflecting pool renovation on the Mall, “or $200 million in, you know, from the Defense Department.”

“Yesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his son’s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke,” Allison Herwitt, Murphy’s chief of staff, said in a statement
“He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery,” she added.
Murphy, who is viewed as a potential 2028 White House candidate, has been traveling the country to campaign for candidates, including recent stops in Michigan, Minnesota and Florida. He had been previously scheduled to attend campaign events in New Hampshire on Sunday.

It's done a great job of producing multi generational dependents!.
Update, October 2026: Neuralink has not yet announced a Blindsight trial. Its visual prosthesis page still invites people to join the registry to be told when US trials launch.
What Neuralink's Blindsight is
Blindsight is Neuralink's second major product line, distinct from the Telepathy device currently implanted in PRIME and VOICE trial patients. Where Telepathy reads signals from the motor and speech cortices to translate intent into action, Blindsight works in the opposite direction: it writes information into the brain. Specifically, it stimulates neurons in the visual cortex to produce the sensation of sight.
The goal is ambitious. Neuralink has stated that Blindsight could eventually restore vision to people who have lost their sight through injury or disease, and even to people born blind, provided their visual cortex developed normally.
