Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

What real American would vote for an idiot who espouses that the USA is a “shithole country”. If this is how he refers to us in public imagine what he represents us as in private?

Trump says of Somalia that "all they have is people that shoot you all the time ... it's a shit house country"

Justice Elena Kagan has sharply criticized the Supreme Court's conservative majority — saying it undermined democracy in a series of rulings, including several that prompted the wave of gerrymandering. "[T]he court has blinded itself to the very deleterious effects of their rulings."

New Republic: A video of Trump departing for Kansas Monday afternoon showed him wandering off across the helicopter pad, waving, saluting, and bowing like he was interacting with a crowd. When the camera panned out, there was no one in the vicinity. WTF?😳 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Glad to see that George W’s brother has more intellect, courage and conscience than he does…

MUST READ: Neil Bush, brother of one President Bush and son of another President Bush, explains why he voted for James Talarico. In part: “My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico.”

Bill reposted

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

Good news for Ramaswamy: thanks to his bold pro-pedophile, anti-rape victim stance, he is now the frontrunner to become Governor of Epstein Island.

Anyone who sees this abomination and still believes in Trump and his crooked “negotiators” do not have America or our allies in mind! Putin is a murderous, corrupt, evil despicable despot and in direct lock step with Trump. Witkoff (and Kushner) belong in prison and may hopefully be there soon.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Canada is leaving Starlink and will ban it in Canada “ASAP.” Not “reviewing,” not “studying options,” not “monitoring the situation.” Canada understands the danger of Elon’s partnership with Trump and Putin “deeply,” according to one

Thanks for the Democratic vote recommendation Vance!

JD Vance makes a recommendation on who to vote for in the midterms: "Vote for the people who have solutions to lower the cost of gas, don't vote for the people who made the problem to begin with."

What a coincidence that TikTok, partly owned by the pro-Trump oligarch Ellison family, shut down the account for a critical documentary of pro-Trump oligarch Elon Musk. </s>

The video embedded in the article is worth a watch. The tension about the intent of some GOP candidates is being meaningfully questioned! Good Trouble Keep asking #GoodTroubleSquadron #Blues #Proudble

Twenty-eight thousand, seven hundred stock trades while Trump sits in the Oval Office. Mark Kelly has made zero in six years in the Senate. Trump wants rules for everyone else, just not for the family getting richer while your grocery bill keeps climbing. #TrumpsAbuseOfPower #USDemocracy

REMINDER: Rep. Ilhan Omar came to US in 1995 when she was 12 with family as part of asylum program. She became a US Citizen in 2000 at 17. She got married 9 years LATER on Feb. 12, 2009 at 26 years old. She did NOT marry her brother or anyone to become a citizen. She ALREADY was a citizen!

Maybe Starlink needs to be “nationalized”? If it as strategically important for us and our partners maybe we should take control?

God@thegodshow.com

Elon cut off Starlink to Ukraine because they blew up his Russian bots and so now his posts don’t get enough likes? Do I have that right?

I’m quite sure that a son-in-law of an entitled congressman in GA hasn’t experienced the loss of rights, respect or position. They lash out due to entitlement, misogyny and racism

Mike Collins makes apologies for white nationalists like his son in law: "These people feel like they've been forgotten. And they're just lashing out."

Trump’s Little Johnson (R-LA) says everybody is frustrated about high fuel prices but it has nothing to do with Trump or his Congressional enablers policies. Are you fucking kidding me, if you’re tired of the gaslighting #VoteEarlyForNoKings it’s time for the adults to run DC.
