Great line by President Obama in Michigan yesterday at rally for Abdul: "Imagine the power duo of Abdul El-Sayed and Elissa Slotkin. You’ve got a Muslim man, you’ve got a Jewish woman fighting for you in the United States Senate. That’s something, Michigan, you can be proud of!"

Do yourself a favor and watch a bunch of these Obama clips from his rally today in Ohio. He is on fire, just the energy we need.

We’re about 2 Trump rallies away from it now being.. “Grab em’ by the dick!”

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

Given the news that Meta throttled Lula in Brazil and stories like this one below every Dem state legislature should open an investigation into whether the platforms have attempted to influence elections in their states.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

OSSOFF: At a rally, the president egged on supporters who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing about this White House, it's their tireless commitments to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking.

A decade ago, Florida stripped a teacher of her license for sexually abusing a 16-year-old. Last year, she opened a private school there with ease. As private schools fueled by taxpayer dollars proliferate, states are choosing not to closely regulate who runs them or what they teach. (Pub. July)

JD Vance: "I see what Abdul El-Sayed says about the war in Iran. I see him criticizing decisions the president has made, the military has made. But fundamentally we are where we are.I'd like to know what's Abdul El-Sayed's solution for the problem we have right now? It's easy to criticize"

Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore

ICE murdered Johan Sebastian Guerrero in our backyard. He wasn’t the target of an investigation. He was driving to work. He had a three-year old daughter. ICE shot and killed him. Senator Collins must be held accountable for funding this terror.

Anyone who watched tonight’s debate between Troy Jackson and Susan Collins knows that Jackson won the political night. Collins needed a win tonight, but the most memorable attacks and the best viral clips belonged to Jackson.

Imagine starting a war of choice with no provocation and then being disappointed you didn’t win the noble peace prize.

President Trump reacted angrily to missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize, disparaging the winner, former U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay, and describing the decision as “disgraceful and embarrassing.”

If Congress doesn’t act, Social Security benefits are on track be cut in 2032. Not on my watch. We must protect Social Security by lifting the cap so that those with the highest incomes pay the same share as everyone else.

DID YOU GO TO MIT?
