SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

When he was a kitten, he earned the name “Judge,” for his habit of sitting apart and watching as I was playing with his crazy siblings. One time he even came up on the arm of the sofa when I was waving a toy with the other kittens — and he softly tapped my forearm to tell me I was being too crazy.

So, the guy on Times Square doing three-card monte on a card table — he can call it “financial services” to head off any legal trouble?

Dem leaders whining about DSA: The centrist route is a dead end. FDR proved that. He held off fascism AND communism, both of which were gaining adherents in the Great Depression, by going full-bore into programs that HELPED the average person. Forget “common ground.". Make a hard left turn.

Did the Allies decide in 1945 that the Schutzstaffel could be “reformed” and its SS officers and men better trained? Get with the program, Schumer and Jeffries, or that speeding train coming out of the Midterms will run you down. ICE must abolished and its worst thugs prosecuted.

What a shithole country this is becoming. I’ve no doubt there’s things like this going on in Ohio, too, because there’s almost no oversight of private schools. This thread documents child abuse on a vast scale under Gov. Sarah Huckabeast.

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵
