Bobby Pulido, running for Congress in Texas, is more than a quinceañera singer. The 53-year-old Tejano music legend is the Democratic nominee in a freshly gerrymandered swath of Texas. While the race to unseat his Republican opponent once seemed an uphill battle, polls now consider it a toss-up.

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

Note that high-turnout is always involved in these sudden defeats of fascism. Fascists don't want you to vote. Never trust anyone who tells you voting doesn't matter and never let anyone tell you not to vote. If voting didn't work, they wouldn't try so hard to stop you. #vote #politics

I don't have to bother reading it. tRump's attention span isn't long enough to have written it not that I would have read it even if he did write it. tRump's pathological liar, so there's no reason to read or listen to him at all, ever.

Mike Rogers is a straight up liar, added and abetted by Bari Weiss's CBS and Brett Baier's Fox.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Welker: "El-Sayed has denounced the Muslim Brotherhood." Mike Rogers: "No, he has not." Welker: "He did in an interview with me." Rogers: "I get you guys want to defend this guy, but I think it's unbelievable you would not hold him accountable for his beliefs."

Here's AI-assisted art I did for my podcast-Rep Virginia Foxx hoards her stock earnings while screaming about socialism. I couldn't add her face in Bing- it would reject, but in Photoshop I couldn't add ANY US currency. Salvador Dalí would make AI art every day and sell it; so would Duchamp.
