Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., announced on social media Tuesday that his phone was seized by the FBI last week – just one day after he won a Republican primary in the Volunteer State.

Ogles, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, shared a statement on X about the investigation, which reportedly involves campaign finance filings. Sources confirmed to Fox News that FBI agents executed a search warrant at his D.C. office last week.

"It has been widely reported for months that my campaign made mistakes in our initial financial filings," the Tennessee politician said in his post. "We have worked diligently with attorneys and reporting experts to correct the errors and ensure compliance going forward."

Righties seem really ANGRY about Walz’s couch joke yesterday.

It was a joke. Get a grip.

After 8 years of nonstop insane lies from Donny, we don’t need to apologize for a funny joke at their expense.

“I got to tell you, I can’t wait to debate the guy …. that is if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up,” he quipped.

“See what I did there?”

The joke fired up the crowd, but Harris appeared less amused.

The vice president appeared to grimace milliseconds before Walz delivered the laugh line.

"appeared to grimace"
ROTFL
A NY post story about nothing
"appeared to grimace" means she may or may not have grimaced.
A news article on what may have happened or may not have happened
Must be a slow news day when an article is about "apperaed" which means they aren't sure
Whoever wrote the post article is a total intellectual lightweight. Don't need Lionel to determine that

Whoever wrote that “she appeared to grimace” is a fool.

She was clearly very amused and holding in a laugh. Her reaction went viral on TikTok amongst the youngins.

If all you have is a insult about her name and an opinion about how she laughs, you MAGA types are in for a LONG 90 days...

Serious question. If Trump loses again, will he still refuse to believe the results? Three years on and he still claims massive fraud, ignoring reality. Will he try to get his base to stage another riot to keep his spirits up? I worry how far they might go next time on his urging.

The more I see about Walz, the more that I like him, I honestly never heard of him before a week or so ago. He seems like a good guy, and a solid candidate to go against Trump/Vance. And, the few speaking clips I have seen of him, I have been impressed (it would be nice to see a long form interview.) I am optimistic.

what everyone might be missing is that many Dems wanted K. to pick a moderate, and Walz is too far to the left, according to this thinking. In fact the enthusiasm our usual suspects here have might show that to be true.

What we should be hearing from our Lefties is that they don't really like the guy but will go along with it if it makes the ticket stronger? Note the question mark ... all 'according to this thinking'.
