Sen. Joe Manchin‘s daughter, Heather Bresch, set up a political organization just days after the Democratic West Virginia senator announced he would not run for re-election next year.
Manchin has been toying with a third-party presidential run either with No Labels or one of his own making. The organization, Americans Together, was established under federal election law as a 501(c)(4) group, which allows it to raise funds to support Manchin’s future political activities.
In a written and video statement last week, Manchin said, “After months of deliberation and long conversations with my family, I believe in my heart of hearts that I have accomplished what I set out to do for West Virginia. I have made one of the toughest decisions of my life and decided that I will not be running for re-election to the United States Senate, but what I will be doing is traveling the...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-wv) said that he will not seek reelection, putting an end to speculation about his plans for next year and adding to the uncertainty that Democrats will be able to retain control of the Senate.
“I believe in my heart of hearts that I have accomplished what I set out to do for West Virginia,” Manchin said in a video statement posted on social media. “I have made one of the toughest decisions I have ever made in my life, and I have decided that I will not be running for reelection.”
His exit from the race quickly raised speculation that he would mount a presidential bid via the group No Labels, which has been readying the possibility of backing a third party challenge next year. That has raised big concerns among Democrats that such a bid would siphon votes from Joe Biden to the benefit of Donald Trump,...

Jim Pillen won Nebraska’s stacked Republican primary for governor on Tuesday, defeating Charles Herbster — the Donald Trump-backed candidate whose campaign was marred by sexual assault allegations.
Herbster, an agriculture industry CEO known for wearing a large cowboy hat, has been accused of sexual misconduct by eight women. One of them, State. Sen. Julie Slama, said Herbster reached up her skirt and grabbed her without consent during a Republican event in 2019. Another, Elizabeth Todsen, at the time a 23-year-old government employee, said Herbster groped her at the same event.

“God blessed our country with plenty of oil & gas,” Florida Senator Marco Rubio recently tweeted. “Lets use it.”
Rubio was talking about boosting drilling and mining for oil and gas as a way to stop importing Russian oil and gas and, thus, stop financing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. But it was more than that. Rubio’s tweet is an unintentionally revealing expression of the lizard brain of fossil fuel boosters, aligning America’s fight for freedom and democracy with the muscle and profit of the...

This week CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said adult deaths from Covid-19 are “at this point entirely preventable” due to the effectiveness of vaccines. And a new analysis from the AP confirms what Walensky said.
According to the analysis of government data from May, released on Thursday, out of the 18,000 Covid-19 deaths during the month, approximately 150 were fully vaccinated people. That comes out to 0.8 percent, or an average of five deaths per day out of more than 200 average daily deaths. At the height of the pandemic in January of this year,...
