Sen. John Fetterman received the FEC's maximum allowed campaign donations from billionaire GOP megadonor Harlan Crow, known for his controversial ties to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged?
MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.
The only message not voting sends to a politician is that your opinion can be safely ignored because you will never hold them accountable. That's it.
You can tell yourself not voting is good for your personal brand or your moral well being, but never pretend it makes a difference in the real world.
"This referendum is dead. For the premier to spend taxpayer time and money to resurrect it, would prove what we’ve always known: she’s a separatist."
Official statement from the NDP.

The Albertans who are/were so concerned about election integrity that they got rid of vote tabulators and are having a referendum on voter photo ID, seem much less concerned about the breach of the voters list.
RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'"
Trump: "Right"
Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?
TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.
Q: Will we see ICE arresting illegal migrants at airports?
TRUMP: Yeah. That's why the Democrats are going crazy. ICE loves it because they're able to now arrest illegals as they come into the country. It's very fertile territory.
Someday, Trump will die as we all must, and on that day, his knuckle-dragging fanbase will be scandalized and aggrieved that anyone would breath a negative word about him upon his death.
Remind them of days like today when Trump said he's "glad" that Robert Mueller died.
The good news is that when that POS finally dies, and we’re all “Woohoo! So happy!” And the right is responding, like they did with Kirk, “it is shameful to celebrate someone’s death.” we now have the perfect rebuttal. Screen shot Aaron’s post so that you have an instant response.
✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here.
Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)
The doddering old fool is just threatening us with a good time.
A 100% tariff on our oil, potash and so many other goods and commodities tanks the American economy pretty well overnight.
Trump: “If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken … If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products”
Here's the full speech. It is a dinger. Glad the PM is using an international stage, but all Canadians need to hear it. We're in this thing together.

👏PM Carney.
"Great powers...have the market size, the military capacity, the leverage to dictate terms. When we negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness. This is not sovereignty. It is the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination."

I’m sorry the decorum argument was dead ten fucking years ago when the entire republican party hitched themselves to mister “grab them by the pussy”
come on
Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."
“If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” -Brett Kavanaugh bsky.app/profile/thei...
I don’t know the exact number of people that attended the last Alberta separatist rally, but it was fewer than the 456, 365 people who signed the Forever Canadian petition.
On the bright side, if this effort succeeds, the family of Martin Luther King Jr. will make a fortune suing conservatives for selectively quoting him without permission.
The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.
The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy
Just as thousands of teachers gather at the legislature, Alberta's Chief Electoral Officer has officially approved the launch of a recall petition for Alberta's Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides.

In which the Premier's right-hand man blames both immigrants and the federal government for the strains and stresses in the education system his government is supposed to run.
Hey, remember the "Alberta is Calling" campaign? The one that brought many thousands of people to Alberta? I sure do.
"Darren did not want a formal funeral. If you are reading this and want to honour him the way he would have wanted, do what he did every day: go outside, ride your bike, enjoy nature, and do something kind for a stranger." 💔 #yycbike#yegbikeedmontonjournal.remembering.ca/obituary/dar...
I guess I just don’t understand why an anti-ICE sniper would aim at immigrants…
And why are so many people engraving bullets these days? I have questions.
I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family.
Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.
For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…
Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.
And America shrugged and moved on.
We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
Reporter: “Does President Trump believe that President Obama should go to jail for something?”
Leavitt: “Look, the president believes that this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated and anyone convicted of crimes should be held accountable in this country.”
Trump is attacking Massie because Massie is pushing to release the Epstein files, once again revealing just how terrified Trump is of what those files might contain.
Remember when the Supreme Court’s rationale for “absolute immunity” was that it would prevent politically motivated investigations against former political opponents?
REPORTER: Gabbard has submitted a criminal referral. Who should the DOJ target?
TRUMP: It would be President Obama. And Biden was there with him ... the leader of the gang was Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. He's guilty. This is treason.
WELKER: Does the US still want to make Canada the 51st state?
MARCO RUBIO: I think the president has stated repeatedly he thinks Canada would be better off as a state
