Highlights:

• "Durbin’s retirement is an admission that the Democrats aren’t taking back the Senate any time soon. This is an inconvenient truth that the legacy media has been avoiding at all costs.”
• “We’re seeing the rise of a third Democrat civil war, and that is a civil war surrounding the divisive nature of wokeness.”
• “NOTUS is reporting that Democrat leadership is calling on Hogg to abandon his plan to spend millions to primary Democrats, or they are threatening to do everything they can to oust him.”
