Abdul El-Sayed is winning back voters betrayed by Trump's phony promises of economic change and peace. That's why AIPAC burned $30M trying to stop him in the primary — and why they're spending another $9M to boost his Republican opponent in the general. He's the real deal and that terrifies them.

“He's gunna go up to the Upper Peninsula and get a pretty cold welcome.” And the UP said…

Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."

Y'all! Check your voter registration TODAY. Google: check voter registration (state). If you're not active, register TODAY. If you aren't registered you can't vote in November!

TODAY is the last day to register to vote in several states. I urge you to double check your state's deadline, verify that you are registered, and make changes to your registration if needed. Then contact three friends or family members and have them do the same. https://whenweallvote.org/

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Been avoiding political contributions since 2024. But recently contributing to Talarico and Gina Hinojosa. Verrrrrry tentatively hopeful. Burned too often. It's like being a Red Sox fan. Unfortunately, I'm one of those, too.

Specifically, my friend lives in The Hills— deeply red town. There is a sign outside the gate that says “Be proud. Be brave. Be Republican.” I’ve never seen a political sign before no less a dozen Talarico signs.

Nah, she hates Trump. I guess my favorite 3 Trump accomplishments: 1. More people are paying attention to signs of Dementia than ever before 2. Trump is making math great again - lots of robust debates about his lie about reducing drug prices by 600% 3. He single-handedly revived fact checking

Like everything else Trump “fixes,” the reflecting pool (along with the war in Iran, gas prices, beef prices, and mortgage rates) is in exponentially worse shape than when he started.

John Oliver: “The Times had a panel this week of Trump voters who were undecided in this race, and when they were asked to describe Paxton, their answers were: Crook, criminal crook, crooked, bad, amoral, disgusting, morally corrupt, disgusting, corrupt, and womanizer crook.”
