The USA’s failure to punish Trump for Jan 6th was just an historic betrayal of global democracy. What a shameful, abject and total failure of institutions and civil society.

In Michigan, Musk paid for calls targeting Muslims that painted Democrats as pro-Israel, and also paid for calls targeting Jews that painted Democrats as pro-Hamas.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how we could've gone to the moon with two falcon heavies, a largely reusable platform, for like a decade now but No That Would Make Sense

Look man I'm very proud to be a Jewish Michigander but we're a very small group, what is the math here

DISPATCH FROM THE MICHIGAN CAMPAIGN TRAIL: The GOP’s Mike Rogers compared Michigan to Nazi Germany on Sunday, continuing a crusade that critics charge is a strategy of “racial arson” to stoke Jewish Democrats’ fear and convince them to join his coalition. jewishcurrents.org/in-michigan-...

We are ranked 16th by Jewish population, or ~88,000, 0.9% of Michiganders We're gonna vote what, 70% Dem normally, so napkin math you're fighting for 46,000 votes? And of those I mean come on, I have to imagine only a small portion are swayable, maybe a third, so what 15,000 and change???

Why would I be in The Christian Hell with them, that doesn't make any sense

NEWS — The NRSC and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) have placed a new joint ad buy in the Little Rock media market, per Punchbowl News. Trump won Arkansas by 31 points in 2024.

🚨 VILE: Vivek Ramaswamy’s new attack ad against Amy Acton features her estranged mother, who stayed married to the man who sexually abused her daughter at age 12, even after his arrest. Now even conservatives are calling the ad disgusting. The horrifying story behind Vivek’s attack:

William Lawrence@wewill2026.bsky.social

Great to have @rokhanna.bsky.social join me at Michigan State today for an AMA with students. Rep. Khanna has been a leader in releasing the Epstein files, challenging the Iran War, and working for a 21st century New Deal. I’m looking forward to building an affordable future alongside him.

I'm not saying we won't take their votes, but we seriously need to grapple with the fact that they are the dumbest people alive

Cenk Uygur: "And I'll tell you, and I'll get heat from the left for saying this, but I think those three-time Trump voters that have defected from him now have not gotten anywhere near the credit that they deserve."

Please subscribe to my newsletter so that I can go to this on Saturday, thank you. I spent a year undercover, and the organization behind this (Republicans for National Renewal) is who I was friendly with. And Bovino wants me to bake him a pie. I gotta go.

This also... Isn't seemingly a real location? There is no Jefferson and Livernois from what I can see, tho there is a weird turnaround off of Jefferson that's right where Livernois "would" be?

Slotkin reading the writing on the wall

Senator Elissa Slotkin@slotkin.senate.gov

I actually think governing effectively is a three-legged stool. First, we need an agenda that’s gonna actually help real people. Take some big economic swings—declare a housing emergency, create a public insurance plan, and build a tax code that reflects reality.

it is actually wild how little mans appears to know about his own country. a thousand years of demographic stability? the hell are you talking about?

I'm going to be real with you, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, there are no "small" dairy farms anymore (Cheese shop? Sure, yeah)

Governor Tony Evers@govevers.wisconsin.gov

As if chaotic trade wars and tariffs and sky-high diesel prices weren't enough, the Trump Administration is making it harder for dairy farmers and cheese makers to get the help they need. Republicans out in Washington have turned their backs on America's Dairyland.

Re: Lions Eating People's Faces Ngl I'm, somehow, more concerned about this than anything else he's ever done. That seems silly I'm sure, but it just feels like a desensitizing prelude to some real Radio Rwanda type shit

“The stench of Letitia James will greatly add to the anguish that everybody feels in viewing how this case is being handled.”

The media won't cover this with 1/10000th of the scrutiny as anything Abdul has said

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"

You know there isn't a "plan" because it there was, they would've done this months ago. Less than a month til the midterms, Ukraine could capitulate tomorrow and it wouldn't change how cooked the Republicans are

The discourse on antisemitism in the country is such that Mike Rogers can simultaneously attack Abdul El-Sayed *as* antisemitic, as a scary foreign Muslim critic of Israel, and also *with* antisemitism, as a tool of the foreign-born Jewish puppeteer.

We're gonna have a family annihilator administration for the next 2 years

Keith@mosheroperandi.bsky.social

Executive putting out a lot of statements today (snuff films, Minnesotan pogroms) that they intended to make their continued existence as the Executive rather intolerable for the 2 years remaining we might otherwise tolerate it. I can barely tolerate it for the next month.
