Unless something remarkable changes drastically, it looks like incumbent Republican Senator Bill Cassidy has come in third place, which means he has lost his Senate seat in the primary race.
The runoff will be between Trump-endorsed Julia Letlow and State Treasurer John Fleming (June 27th).
Senator Bill Cassidy voted to impeach President Trump and has impeded the administration throughout. Senator Cassidy has lost his seat.
Thomas Massie is cut from the same Republican cloth as his dear friend, Ron DeSantis and his recent advocate Tucker Carlson. Like DeSantis and Carlson, Massie is a master manipulator who uses carefully crafted wedge points to divide the electorate and position himself for maximum benefit.
Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert has been campaigning and trying to support Massie as the potential for him to lose a primary race is very real. This puts Boebert on the opposite side of President Trump on a very important matter of principle. Massie has accused President Trump of protecting Jeffrey Epstein’s enablers.
PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Is anyone interested in running against Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District? You remember Lauren moved to the District when it became obvious that she couldn’t win in her original Congressional District (The Third!) — A Carpetbagger, indeed! Boebert is campaigning for the Worst “Republican” Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, and anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good Primary fight! Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my Honor to withdraw that Endorsement and endorse a good and proper alternative. Just let me know, or announce your Candidacy, and I will be there for you!” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP
“Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana is a disloyal disaster. His entire past campaign for the Senate was about “TRUMP,” how he’s with me all the way, and then, after winning, he turned around and voted to IMPEACH me for something that has now proven to be total “bullshit!” He knew that at the time, but didn’t care.
Bill Cassidy is a sleazebag, a terrible guy, who is BAD FOR LOUISIANA. Now he’s going to get CLOBBERED, hopefully, in today’s BIG election, by two great people!!! VOTE TODAY FOR JULIA L. She Is a winner who will NEVER let you down. I LOVE LOUISIANA, won it all three times, and got the most votes in its history, by far (A record!!!), despite its big time and “storied,” political past. THE ELECTION IS TODAY – please get out and VOTE!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP
Cassidy is facing a primary challenge from Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) and GOP State Treasurer John Fleming. If no candidate clears 50 percent in today’s vote, the top two candidates will advance to a June 27 runoff.
Polls show a tight three-way campaign. However, most polling puts Cassidy in third place, behind Letlow and Fleming.
Vice President JD Vance makes some announcements about holding back funds for California during an event on federal government fraud with U.S. Attorney Andrew Ferguson, CMS Director Dr. Oz, and Kim Brandt in Washington, D.C.
CMS also announced the deferral of $163 million due to non-compliance [PDF Here]. The Question-and-Answer session begins at 21:31 of the video below (prompted):

Currently active CIA analyst James Erdman, presented himself as a whistleblower to congress to outline how the Intelligence Community had evidence and knowledge about the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and how it was created by “gain of function” research (weaponizing a virus) in a biolab in Wuhan, China funded by the United States government.
According to the testimony, there are elements inside the Intelligence Community, specifically the CIA, who worked with scientists to coverup the origin of COVID-19 and the fact the virus was man made and leaked from a lab. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, pressured and influenced scientists in the intelligence community to fabricate information and lie about the origin of the virus.
Fauci has denied accusations that he lied about the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) role in funding research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China and argued that the research did not meet the level of gain-of-function research. However, a longtime advisor of Fauci’s, David Morens, who served as a top advisor at NIAID, was indicted by the DOJ last month and accused of using his personal email account to hide communications related to a controversial coronavirus research grant that involved collaboration with the Wuhan Institute.
.
With knowledge surrounding the origin of SARS-CoV-2, and with knowledge about the coverup of the virus triggering event, questioning should turn to how the U.S. government then influenced the global intelligence networks and military operations to control the consequences.
The response to COVID-19 was essentially an intelligence and military operation throughout the world.
Current Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is investigating these larger issues as well as U.S. funded biolabs around the globe.
British monarch King Charles III is scheduled to deliver the annual ‘king’s speech’ to the U.K Parliament on Wednesday, and that was the essential defense position of those who are trying to maintain embattled Prime Minister Keir Starmer in power as the Labour Party leader.
The king’s speech is an address to Parliament to outline his legislative priorities and the anticipated support from the political assembly. Without a solid Prime Minister in place, it would seem like an address to a leaderless body. However, once the speech is finished, the struggles for Prime Minister Starmer are soon to resurface.
British pundit Neil Oliver asked the most alarming question on GB News earlier this evening when he pondered who exactly does Keir Starmer work for? Noting very similar issues in both France and Germany with Emanuel Macron and Chancellor Freidrich Merz respectively, Oliver outlines how many EU leaders are pushing national policies while seemingly disconnected from the citizens of their countries. WATCH:
Oliver senses something bigger is afoot with the seismic shift in British electoral politics. The nation is demanding a change in direction away from leftist policies. When President Trump was asked about the dynamic earlier today, he said Keir Starmer needs to decide whether to leave or try and stay in power. Dropping pretenses and speaking pragmatically, President Trump further pointed to the suicidal energy policies that are driving up the costs of living for all European citizens.
Via Daily Mail – […] On a dramatic day at Westminster, four Labour ministers resigned, saying they no longer had confidence in Sir Keir. The number of Labour MPs calling for him to go rose to 90, and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood was forced to deny she is on the brink of quitting after telling the PM to set out a timetable for his departure.

In a remarkable display of hubris, following a growing list of 70+ MP’s saying he should step down following the massive losses in the recent election, U.K Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he will not resign from his position and will block any entry to the country for political opposition.
You might remember in 2024 when Starmer’s Labour Party sent 100 members to the United States to work in support of Kamala Harris’ campaign. However, facing his own political demise, Starmer is blocking national entry for anyone who might represent a threat to his Labour Party government. WATCH:
(Via Daily Mail) – […] On Monday, Labour sources said a delegation of senior ministers had gone in to No 10 to tell him his time is up. Further face-to-face calls are expected at Tuesday morning’s meeting of the Cabinet if he refuses to budge.
‘It’s happening,’ said one source. ‘The PM has had his say, people have heard him out, but it has not changed minds. The herd is moving.’
Sir Keir warned that a leadership contest on the eve of Wednesday’s King’s Speech would plunge both the government and Britain into chaos.
But now leading figures including health secretary Wes Streeting and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham are privately canvassing supporters.
The results continue to be tallied as many regions and local councils have a form of ranked choice voting. However, despite the mounting electoral losses, Keir Starmer is refusing to step aside.
(VIA AP Newswire) – LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer insisted Friday that he will not resign after bruising elections that saw his governing Labour Party suffer big losses and the hard-right Reform UK make major gains.
The local and regional elections were widely seen as an unofficial referendum on Starmer, whose popularity has plummeted since he led the center-left Labour Party to power less than two years ago. […] Starmer said he took responsibility for the “very tough” results but would not quit.
“The voters have sent a message about the pace of change, how they want their lives improved,” he said. “I was elected to meet those challenges, and I’m not going to walk away from those challenges and plunge the country into chaos.”
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) has released the April jobs report showing 115,000 jobs gained [DATA HERE]. Inside the numbers, federal government employment continued to decline in April (-9,000). Since reaching a peak in October 2024, federal government employment is down by 348,000, or 11.5 percent since the 2024 election.
The March report was also revised upward from 178,000 to 185,000. The overall jobs gain was double what most ‘experts’ and economic pundits had expected. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.3 percent.
BLS – […] Total nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 115,000 in April, after showing little net change over the prior 12 months. In April, job gains occurred in health care, transportation and warehousing, and retail trade. Federal government employment continued to decline. (See table B-1.)
In April, health care added 37,000 jobs, in line with the average monthly gain of 32,000 over the prior 12 months. Over the month, job gains occurred in nursing and residential care facilities (+15,000) and home health care services (+11,000).
In an opinion delivered by Justice D. Arthur Kelsey [appointed by then-Gov. Mark Warner (D)] the Circuit Court says the process Democrats used to draw new congressional boundaries was unconstitutional. [SEE RULING HERE] That process “incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy.”
The court said that maps put in place in 2021 must be used in the November elections instead. Three justices dissented from the court’s ruling.
VIRGINIA – The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday overturned the state’s redistricting ballot measure that would have given Democrats an edge in four House districts, dealing the party a massive blow ahead of the midterms.
The ruling now gives Republicans a clear lead in the gerrymandering efforts over the last year, which were further inflamed by the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act decision last week.
