Erica de Vries, a Democrat running for Congress in New Hampshire, is capitalizing on J.D. Vance’s ‘childless cat lady’ remark with a fundraising email she says is raking in the cash.

Vance, who accepted the Republican nomination this week to serve as Donald Trump’s vice president, has received backlash as his history of making misogynistic comments comes to light. In a 2021 Fox News interview with Tucker Carlson, Vance derided Democratic leadership as childless and miserable, with no stake in the country's future.

“We’re effectively run in this country via the Democrats – via our corporate oligarchs – by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they have made and they want to make the rest of the country miserable too,” Vance told Tucker on air. ...

Nearly a month ago, it was reported that Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) was caught on camera pulling the Cannon fire alarm ahead of this motion to adjourn vote as Dems tried to delay the CR vote. Donald Trump demanded the congressman be jailed for pulling fire alarm during shutdown vote, saying he "must suffer."

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is officially on notice that her next election won't necessarily be an easy one, with strong challengers on both sides of the aisle.

Boebert, who recently shouted that Republicans who didn't vote for Jim Jordan — and not those who ousted Kevin McCarthy from the speakership role in the first place — are responsible for the fact that "Congress isn't working right now," barely held onto her seat in the last election cycle.

Now, it appears she's in for another tough round of voting, based on financial reports flagged by The Seattle Times....

Rep. Jim Jordan is in trouble now that he's being considered for speaker of the House, according to the Democratic candidate running to unseat him.
