Abdul El-Sayed cooks Mike Rogers: This is your record. You don't wanna talk about it because you are embarrassed of it and of the fact that you can't win this race without Trump coming and stumping for you. If you like the way things have been for the last two years, that's what Mike Rogers wants.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

International Observers from OSCE have been invited to see our elections for more than 20 years -- and allowed us to demonstrate to the world our free and fair elections. Why does the Trump Administration not want the world to see how we vote in America? #holdfast #corruption

At the same time, the US has declined to invite the OSCE to observe the midterms. The OSCE says these will be the first US federal elections it has not been invited to observe since it began monitoring them in 2002.

Stock Trades by Presidents While in Office: Bill Clinton: ZERO George W. Bush: ZERO Barack Obama: ZERO Donald Trump (first term): 517 Joe Biden: ZERO Donald Trump (second term): 24,000+, averaging >60 trades per trading day. This is why the crook in the Oval Office manipulates the markets.

It was a rare federal dataset that captured human emotions. Consumers could have their complaints about American businesses published for all to see. For years, corporations have critiqued the system. Now the narratives are no longer being published.

Mike Rogers' estimated net worth in 2013: $380,000 Mike Rogers' estimated net worth in 2026: $14,600,000 He cashed in and sold out Michiganders.

If you listen to what he says (and not judge him based on his religion/ethnicity - like my mom for example) he makes a lot of sense.

How do we make teaching a sustainable career? We need: 🎒Education budget tied to the defense budget 🎒Teacher minimum wage 🎒Strong teacher unions 🎒Investment in the paraprofessionals that a kid needs to be their best learner and so teachers can focus on teaching

El-Sayed: “Last week, Mike Rogers took the time to go to Dallas to give a speech at a convention held in the interest of Donald Trump. But he didn't have the time to spend an hour with us here in Detroit, and that tells you everything about who he is and what his priorities are.”

This is what people voted for. Then they complain endlessly . . . and vote for it again. Geez people, look at what is actually happening, not what you're being told, and recalibrate.

The most shocking thing about this video is that apparently there was a time, long long ago, when congressmen wanted to learn something from real experts giving testimony , as opposed to using “experts” to score political points

41 years ago, Carl Sagan gave a clear and elegant explanation of the science behind global warming.

Buy fruits and vegetables with these stickers. They indicate the farmers laborers have been treated fairly.

Max Blau@maxblau.bsky.social

Fruits and vegetables from those farms are labeled with a green sticker of a woman holding a basket of tomatoes. When I’ve found produce with these stickers in my grocery stores, they don’t cost measurably more than others without the label.

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

Replying to @volts.wtf

As I've said many times, to the reactionary mind, there is only one meaningful binary: us & them. It helps if you translate everything they say into those terms. "Good character," "real American," "Constitutional," "godly," "unbiased" ... they all just mean "us." Inverse of all those is "them."
