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 quick check of court records establishes that all of the claims made by Amy Acton's estranged mother and aired by Ramaswamy are false. But then it appears she was simply reading a script that a Ramaswamy campaign staffer wrote for her. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Video shared to social media by rapid response shows ICE agents abducting a man this A.M. from inside the Bridgeview Courthouse. Outside, Cook County Sheriff’s deputy Gigliotti #19013 daps it up with one of the agents. Asked about IL law preventing arrests at courthouses, deputy Glover shrugs.

I can confirm. Indivisible Action spends about a dime of every dollar raised on fundraising costs, which is very efficient. They are a good example of what a genuine grassroots operation looks like.

Muslims and immigrants, despite all the lies we're told about them, have never presented a systemic threat to Western security, let alone to "Western civilisation". Instead, the threats come from our governments, especially in the US, and their grim alliances with capital and overseas dictators.

Just a periodic, friendly reminder that we could actually avoid all this by not caring who’s attracted to, who’s having sex with who, who’s marrying who, let alone believing any of it should matter in public policy. We could just all mind our own business and all have rights. ✨

The MAGA two-minute hate over Elissa Slotkin is the perfect example of how MAGA propaganda infects and distorts mainstream news coverage, which transforms it into a "controversy" that requires even-handed coverage of both sides' "positions" (one of which is complete bullshit):

"If the Trump administration launches an effort to manipulate the outcome of the midterms, the economic impact could be felt immediately, and it could last long after Mr. Trump’s presidency ends."

Robert E Rubin: The United States has not yet seen its economy suffer from a lack of confidence in its legal system. Other countries have. “We can live with high inflation,” one Turkish executive told the FT last year, “but our biggest disincentive to invest is the lack of the rule of law.”

“Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That’s a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.”—Nicholas Krtistof
