Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

BREAKING WaPo: Trump officials scrutinized Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2019. They didn't find citizenship issues. 
The earlier review of Omar's immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now.

How does one "hold their feet to the fire" if our votes are always guaranteed? Because I would argue that putting aside the only power we have to make politicians listen is exactly how we got here in the first place.

The "is AI slavery" discourse is exactly what the tech bros want. It doesn't end with fancy autocompletes having human rights. Its logic ends with you having fewer rights. If you believe AI is sentient (it's not) & are down with enslaving it (it's not slavery), then why do human labor rights matter?

I left x despite having a large following bc I don’t want to make free content for the world’s wealthiest racist. It’s not worth it to me.

Hey have you noticed that what’s moral and good and consistent with the “natural order” is giving me your money so I can get richer? Weird coincidence wow bsky.app/profile/moth...

*If you're a math guy, they "moved your cheese" and your new cheese is the size of a giant alien green-cheese lunar crater *It's not that there's no cheese at all, it's that there's megatons of reeky cheese that you can't actually eat and it fell out of the sky

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

Adam Bonin@adambonin.bsky.social

Incredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms." Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.

None of us are free until all of us are free. If someone is willing to throw a marginalized group under the bus at the first opportunity, they’re not fighting fascism.

"don't ask don't tell was good actually!" lmao liberals

DADT was supposed to be, and in some ways *was* an improvement on the Lavender Scare policies still there when I was of service age. Clearly just wasn't enough, and bigots learned to really abuse it. And people. And Clinton *was* an actual Conservative Democrat.

someone pooped in my pants, I assure that no one in my agency would have done such a cruel thing and we will leave no stone unturned in our search to find the bastard who did it
