Something something establishment Democrats…

I don't think she has it locked, but Howard Dean said in an interview recently that he knew his campaign was in trouble several weeks *before* the infamous "Iowa Scream" when he noticed that while his rallies were still packed, he kept seeing *the same people* at all of them. They were groupies.

I was thinking that the people that are going to be in that crowd where a lot of stupidity happened today apparently are going to be the same people that probably go to every event with this candidate. Looks like I was right. I'm not worried. I think congresswoman Stevens has this locked.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

While both Democratic candidates have pledged to support the LGBTQ+ community, only Haley Stevens has done the work. As one of the most effective legislators, Stevens secured federal protections and crucial federal dollars that fund local programs, all while blocking harmful legislation.

How Haley Stevens has outmaneuvered a hostile Congress to deliver for Michigan's LGBTQ+ community.

Amazing. Abdul's campaign has spent tremendous energy trying to match Mamdani's "viral online" success with his "Taylor Swift lip sync" & "Blue's Clues" videos. Haley didn't have to do a damned thing and her opponents managed to Streisand Effect her into a smash hit meme. (sound up!)

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

He Should Be Fired Immediately and Investigated…..

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

ICE agent who killed man in Biddeford identified as former Maine law enforcement officer

An ex-wife told the Press Herald that David Brouillette called her and admitted he was the ICE agent who shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

You know the “Noun, Verb, AIPAC” crowd has fully lost the plot when they’re attacking the Asian Pacific American Chamber of Commerce…APACC.

I'm told the reason a lot of people on the far-left are supporting Dr. Abdul El-Sayed over Rep. Haley Stevens is due to policy outlook, and yet, what I keep seeing are people on the far-left obsessed with mocking her appearance, voice, and mannerisms. Weird campaign strategy.

The Daily Show weighs in on Maine ☠️😭

This 1972 anti–Vietnam War ad for McGovern captures a timeless truth: protesting isn't enough; we must vote. Imagine if profiting from war was illegal worldwide. As John Stuart Mill said, bad men win when good men look on and do nothing. Let’s act. Do something.

Because the DSA’s primary goal is to destroy the Democratic Party.

I’m calling it: Graham Platner is going to make sure we’re all on pins and needles until 4:59 PM on Monday as his final fuck you to Democrats.

GOP Rep. French Hill has to explain the Constitution to a confused Maria Bartiromo

Is deliberately lying to support your preferred candidate ok? Bc AES supporters online seem to think so. I've encountered 2 instances now (1 personally & 1 observed) where misinformation about Abdul & Haley was pointed out, but the OP says they will leave up the misinformation bc it helps Abdul!

Lawrence O’Donnell dismantles the myth of Graham Platner. And warning signs were there all along. Information was publicly available, but ignored. Maybe the U.S. Senate shouldn’t be someone’s first political job. No public office. No real vetting. Hype isn’t a substitute for scrutiny. 🧵

The brocialist new leftists who set out to prove the horseshoe theory, all say (with zero merit) that my criticisms of Abdul El-Sayed are just me being anti-Muslim They remind me of the boorish, abhorrent, obnoxious KITH character who responded to any rejection with “It’s my cabbage head isn’t it?”

Michigan, learn from Maine’s mistakes with Abdul’s buddy Graham Platner. Vet our candidates NOW during the primary. Everything shared here was sure to come up in a general. GOP wants to run against Abdul because he hands them his own oppo every time he opens his mouth. He’s all hubris and ego.

Abdul tends to stretch the truth when it comes to his record. So in the spirit of transparency, we ran a fact-check on some of his loftiest claims. Take a look for yourself: AbdulFacts.com

Liberal say that Donald Trump has turned our democracy into a kleptocracy. They’re wrong— Donald Trump has turned our republic into a kleptocracy.

If I were a 40 something dude with no experience in elected office running as a “progressive” against two much more accomplished women and someone remembered the time I said I didn’t want to work with any women over 40, I’d probably attack the messenger too.

In case you fell for the talking point that the Gaza obsessed don’t actually hate LGBTQ people, or that they were in any way champions of queer liberation, it should be crystal clear by now that they aren’t even allies. This is not activism, it’s political violence. These people are dangerous.

What happened to Scott Wiener at yesterday's trans rights rally in San Francisco was disgusting, appalling, and unacceptable. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Wiener for supporting trans equality, and it is insane to me that anyone would harass him in that setting. 1/2

I’m a lifelong progressive. I don’t want Medicare For All. I want universal healthcare. And I want elected officials who understand the difference.

Michigan has a “Democratic” candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, trying to ride Mamdani’s coattails like he tried mimicking Obama. Republicans are already running attack ads using his campaign surrogate Hasan Piker’s real indefensible statements. He hands GOP his own oppo every time he opens his mouth.

Everyone’s crowing about the socialists sweep in NYC. But their races are over NOW bc they don’t have to worry about beating Republicans in Nov. Anyone who thinks this translates into Democratic victories w socialist candidates in swing states where you actually have to beat the GOP smear machine…

MacFarlane: You have a smell that's emanating now that is reminiscent of a high school locker room. You have a police force and National Guard presence that is profound. It's like a jewel heist from the muppet caper is going to happen. It seems to be a misappropriation of resources.
