Mother, grandmother, great grandmother, lawyer. Dogs and cats are necessary. Trump and his minions terrify me.

On the day a sitting president landed in Lubbock, Texas, for the first time in 34 years, people waited for hours in lines stretching for blocks in this reliably red city. But the crowd wasn't waiting for Trump. They were waiting for Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico.

nbcnews.comJames Talarico faces off against Trump in dueling Texas rallies in election’s final daysVoter enthusiasm in Lubbock, a city of fewer than 300,000, underscored the high stakes of a close Senate race in what Democrats call their best chance in a generation.

Thanks to President Biden’s Infrastructure Bill (that Republicans voted against but tried to take credit for) remote locations on the Navajo Nation Reservation finally have access to electricity and broadband for the first time, ever.

Yep and if you know anything about Ramaswamy, his use of this should not surprise you. He's a friend of JD Vance, and is a birthright citizen who is against birthright citizenship, anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, practices Hinduism but aligns with evangelicals. A walking conundrum of hate.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."
