Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration asked Washington to set aside ballots from around 400 registered voters it claims may be noncitizens. The alarming request comes amid the DOJ's legal effort to compel California to do the same to 20k voters.

1/ Russian soldiers in the occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky may be going hungry along with the civilian population. Russian warbloggers are blaming the unpopular and apparently corrupt head of Russia's Unmanned Systems Forces, Yuri 'Toilet' Vaganov, for the situation. ⬇️

Good news: Maurene Comey is back at SDNY after a judge ruled her firing unlawful Who trusts a case if the prosecutor’s job hangs on pleasing the president? Rules keep the answer simple, & today they protected more than one person -TN

npr.orgJudge says DOJ illegally fired the daughter of former FBI director ComeyMaurene Comey served as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan for around a decade. A judicial ruling finding her dismissal unlawful adds to concerns of politically motivated firings at the DOJ.

Ukraine must hold maximalist demands and avoid Russia’s classic trap: making outrageous demands while refusing to compromise, forcing the other side to make concessions and give Russia more than it deserves. Russia doesn’t deserve to get anything

Brazil’s election denial is already underway! Lula wins by 4.4 MILLION votes. No surprise Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede and wants the election annulled. Only about 34K votes were cast during the disputed extension. Votes have been counted. The challenge is now in the courts. #USDemocracy

Mark Carney: "It's sobering that this is the first time in over two decades that first ministers and First Nations have met together. This is an important opportunity, yes, to share perspectives, to listen, to learn, but above all, to commit to action. So let's seize this opportunity."
