Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

If we stick together, keep our wits about us and hope alive, we're gonna be ok. The world is filled with good people, giving their all every day to create a smarter, kinder, better, more peaceful experience for everyone. #UnitedWeStand
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
Donald Trump has repeatedly abused the pardon power to enrich himself and reward his allies. We’ve had enough. I’m introducing a bill with @schiff.senate.gov and @blumenthal.senate.gov to rein in Trump’s corrupt abuses of power and ensure transparency and accountability in the pardon process.
WATCH — “Elon Musk poisoned his town… now he’s running for Congress to stop toxic DATA CENTERS.” @moreperfectunion.bsky.social profiles @justinjpearson.bsky.social and the fight against xAI in MEMPHIS, and the polluting (illegal) turbines xAI uses to power them.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 23h agoWATCH: “Todd Blanche is committing a fraud on Congress. This document is a sham.” @SenBlumenthal warns the insurrectionist slush fund is NOT dead, and @SenThomTillis & @JohnCornyn are falling for another Trump/Blanche lie.
At this point, this list of things we can eat is shorter than the list of things we can't! 😬

Jake Tapper to Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio): "Hold on— I’m not done with the list of women that have accused you of violence."
Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
This is obscene. I'd take #Socialism any day of the week.

NEW: A federal judge just scheduled a trial for March 2027 to determine whether the potential Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger violates antitrust law — a timeline that could further delay the deal.
You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"
You could have voted no on Blanche. Idiot.

I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.
Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
And now, a little Vivaldi. Michel Tirabosco, a renowned pan flute player, collaborating with Raphaël Froissart. He is a professor at the Geneva Conservatory. Born with physical differences, he began playing the pan flute at 7 and has achieved international recognition for his skill. #streetmusic
Thank you to Mexico & Australia for sending your fire fighters to aid us when our closest physical ally threatens to fine or tariff Canada even as smoke from Washington & Oregon blow into BC. We send fire crews & our Super Soaker water bombers when the USA is on fire. TACO issues threats. Sad...

I prefer presidents who don’t have their accounts closed over money laundering concerns.
Not that there's ever been any doubt that the Trumpworld lawyer is a liar. I mean, come on, of course he is. Oath, shmoath!
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · yesterdayBREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.
It's not fair that having reputation for generally well-behaved, means you get dragged through the mud and raked over the coals any time you step an inch over the line, but conversely if everyone is use to and expects you to be constantly breaking the rules of law and decency, they yawn when you do.
💉Josh Rubin, MD@drsandman11.medsky.social · yesterdayCall me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.
