Michigan Democrats didn’t just turn out, they showed up like there was free weed and a chance to annoy Trump.

Prepare for an insane explosion of Islamophobia between now and November, from the same people on the right (and center!) who pretend to be exercised by the rise in anti-Jewish bigotry. The hate will be off the charts and make the anti-Zohran campaign look tame. Mark my words.
The Beeb's response is funny enough on its own. But bc I have not ingested enough cat videos today, I read it to myself in a proper British accent and it's even funnier that way. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![I. THE TRUMP TRUST’S REQUEST FOR A STAY IS NOT AN EMERGENCY.
As a threshold matter, the Trump Trust’s motion for a stay is hardly an emergency. As
the Trump Trust frames the issue, its motion is an emergency because “[o]nce the Trust were to
begin handing those records over to the BBC, that disclosure could not be undone, and the
Trust’s pending objections could not restore what the BBC will have already seen.” Mot. at 2.
But “bona fide emergencies involve the health and safety of individuals, the impending departure
of a witness with no plans to return to the jurisdiction, the imminent destruction of a building or other property, the imminent deportation of an individual to another country, the need to give
critical medical treatment to a patient in a hospital, the threatened loss of civil rights, the
immediate, threatened loss of an entire business, or when someone is at risk of being denied an
essential service.” Companhia Energetica Potiguar v. Caterpillar Inc., 2016 WL 7469993, at *3
(S.D. Fla. Apr. 13, 2016) (Goodman, M.J.) (denying emergency motion to stay enforcement of
Magistrate Judge’s discovery order). By contrast, a deadline arriving after two weeks’ notice to
produce non-privileged documents—which may be designated “Confidential” or “Attorneys’
Eyes Only” under the Court’s Protective Order—does not justify the rare invocation of the
Court’s emergency procedures.
It is not even clear from the Trump Trust’s briefing what the purported emergency is
here. See id. (“But the mere fact that [the movant] did not obtain all the relief it wanted hardly
means that this situation is an emergency.”) (emphasis in original). Simply because the Trump
Trust faces an obligation it does not agree with, and is confronted with an imminent deadline of
its own making by waiting to file its stay motion until the day before its first Court-ordered
disclosure day, does not make its request an emergency](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreihfw75bjjm6e3um2e76g2xx4trhl3sfnsh2arkqo4o7j7ngnhpygy)

Trump talks tough from inside his Truth Social bubble, but suddenly has nothing to say when he's actually in California. While the president uses LA to raise campaign cash, survivors of last year's firestorms are waiting for him to finally deliver federal relief to recover.
Governor Newsom Press Office@govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov · 11h agoTrump's visit to California was a total snoozer. Very low energy. No speech. He could barely take a question on the tarmac. Night night, Grandpa!
Jeff Flake is a decent person. The old kind of Republican. He left the Senate because he wouldn’t do what so many have done, support Trump’s nonsense.
Laguna Beach Democratic Club@lagunabeachdems.bsky.social · 12h agoFormer Republican Senator Jeff Flake just endorsed Democrat Jon Ossoff. Flake says he is still a conservative Republican, but character matters more than party. Flake warns Mike Collins would be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump. #GASen #CharacterMatters
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Good evening from Ukraine🇺🇦 Still alive Still here Still not giving up
🗳️RESULTS: Last night, Michigan and Missouri held primaries in critical races that could determine the future of democracy. 🧵From a win for citizen-led initiatives to a key contest that could move the needle on the SAVE America Act, here are the results you need to know👇
SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
Had to have this shirt. Hope I made y'all smile.💙☘️🫶🏻

States with the lowest literacy rates shouldn’t be banning books, they should be reading them
El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.
