DHS agents took 12 minutes to decide if you're a citizen. A federal judge just shut that down. Now they can't interview anyone they know or should suspect is a citizen. The point was never fraud. It was fear, and to make you afraid to vote ahead of a midterms that Trump knows he's going to lose.

The contribution limit for an individual is $3,500. Elon Musk, a government contractor, is trying to purchase Congress. Billionaires are smothering our elections for their personal gain. Get big money out of politics.

The *second* best thing about a James Talarico win would be how angry this annoying, interfering dork will be at not being able to buy a Senate seat for $200,000,000.

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.

Glad to see CNN reporting on this. @jimacosta.bsky.social and I raised concerns about DHS potentially using a military-grade “heat ray.” After 20+ years in national security, I find this deeply troubling. A weapon designed to inflict intense pain. Against civilians? Why does DHS need this?

Trump is literally waving at imaginary people now. On his way to another hate rally in Kansas, he suddenly stopped and started waving and saluting at people who weren’t there. Yes, this is real. And thank you for that perfect finale zoom-out, Mr. Nice Cameraman.

Yesterday, he said leakers should be executed. Today, he's offering them millions of dollars. Donald is intellectually consistent that way.
