Dan Cox, a far-right state legislator endorsed by former President Donald Trump, won the Republican primary for Maryland governor on Tuesday, defeating a moderate rival backed by outgoing Gov. Larry Hogan. Despite being a win for Trump, Cox´s victory over former Hogan Cabinet member Kelly Schulz could be a blow to Republican chances to hold on to the seat in November.
Hogan, who was prohibited from running for a third consecutive term, was a rare two-term Republican governor in a heavily Democratic state, and he had endorsed Schulz as the successor to his bipartisan style of leadership.
Democrats were likely giddy over Cox's win in the Republican primary. The Democratic Governors Association plowed more than $1 million behind an ad intended to boost Cox, seeing him as an easier opponent in November.
Cox has been a thorn in Hogan's side over the last few years, suing over the governor's stay-at-home orders and regulations in the early days of the pandemic and seeking unsuccessfully to impeach him for COVID-19 orders Cox called 'restrictive and protracted.'
Cox alluded to his fight with Hogan in his victory speech Tuesday night, telling a cheering crowd: 'We will never again give over our bodies, our churches and our businesses to a lockdown state.'Maybe the Dems really are this stupid. Maybe they really don't understand that someone who stands for - and fights for - individual freedoms is the person people really do want to represent and lead them. Maybe they don't understand that the majority of people aren't sheep like they, being ever so willing to be 'lead to the slaughter' by people that don't understand the concept of individual freedoms and rights. Maybe this thing will backfire in their faces. One can only hope. 'Nuff' said...

A group of lawmakers, including Reps Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, Andy Levin, Cori Bush, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Jackie Speier, Alma Adams, Veronica Escobar, and Carolyn B Maloney, were detained and arrested on Tuesday outside of the Supreme Court amid an abortion rights demonstration.
An official statement from Capitol Police reported 34 arrests for “Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding (DC Code § 22–1307).”
“That arrest number includes 16 Members of Congress,” they noted in a tweet.
In an earlier tweet, Capitol Police claimed that demonstrators were “starting to block First Street, NE” and that it “is against the law to block traffic, so officers are going to give our standard three warnings before they start making arrests.”

In the November race for Texas governor, two prolific fundraisers are vying to be the chief executive of the state.
Republican incumbent Greg Abbott, who is seeking his third term in office, has reported huge fundraising hauls in the past, amassing staggering amounts of cash in his campaign coffers. However, Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke reported raising $27.6 million from late February through June, which is the most a candidate for state office in Texas has ever raised in a single reporting period. Because Texas has no campaign finance contribution limits, it’s possible both candidates will accumulate and spend record-breaking amounts of campaign cash by November.
The Texas Tribune has been tracking contributions, expenditures and cash on hand for both candidates since O’Rourke officially entered the race in November last year. The numbers will be updated again when new campaign finance reports come out in October of this year. The data is made public by the Texas Ethics Commission. Here's how they compare:
Bolstered by his record-breaking figures over the past few months, O’Rourke has raised almost $4 million more than Abbott as of June 30, 2022. However, Abbott still maintains a financial advantage with twice as much cash on hand as O’Rourke. Back in June 2021, Abbott had a campaign balance of over $55 million. In addition, Abbott has spent over three times more money than his opponent, including a recent ad buy worth nearly $20 million.
All told, the candidates together have raised a combined $78 million, spent $68 million and have a combined total of roughly $70 million in their campaign coffers.
I sincerely hope the people of Texas remember who this guy really is:
