Just when we’d gotten used to life without presidential campaign nonsense, here it comes again. What better way to kick it off than with the news that none other than Newt Gingrich is expected to announce that he’s putting together an exploratory committee in preparation for a possible run on the White House?

Wait, before you go…Politico:
Newt Gingrich is expected to announce his presidential exploratory on Thursday, a person familiar with the matter confirmed to POLITICO.
Another source privy to Gingrich’s plans for Thursday said he intends to hold a midday meeting in Atlanta with a group of friends and supporters, some of whom may play a role in his 2012 operation. Afterward, he is scheduled to meet at the state Capitol with Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal for a discussion about states’ rights. Deal, who served with Gingrich in the House, has pledged to support the former speaker if he runs for president.

Today's display shows that the GOP no longer has any reason for being.
Legal procedures designed by 18th-century slaveholders won't save us. Only mass civil disobedience can sweep our fascist regime from power.
Conservatives like Newt Gingrich have called the New York Times' 1619 project a "lie." Their grasp of American history is wanting at best.
His two terms were marked by partisan rancor, scandal and, for many Americans, betrayal by the president.
The senior Bush was held to one term in large part because of domestic problems generated by his predecessor's "voodoo economics."
Don't let the media convince you otherwise. Right-wing hysteria over an immigrant caravan led to the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre.
