Rubio knows the stakes. He knows how fucking immoral it is for Trump to side with Putin while Ukraine fights for its freedom and how damaging to American credibility. Yet Rubio remains. His past rhetoric on Russia means shit if he won’t stand up for Ukraine now. What an abject failure of leadership.

This isn’t a few red flags. It’s a parade of them. Meet MAGA Republican Mike Collins, running for the U.S. Senate in Georgia against Jon Ossoff. 🚩 Under congressional ethics investigation over allegations that taxpayer $ paid a staffer’s girlfriend for work she didn’t do There’s more 🚩

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

'Tommy' from viral El-Sayed video is former Sen. Hawley staffer with Christian nationalist ties

Thomas Teepell is the son of a former long-time Bobby Jindal staffer who's close to Sean Feucht.

Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand. The Trump admin is out of control, they've lied us into war, they've sent prices skyrocketing ... "

Zelenskyy on Trump: "I hope that he will change his decisions, because I think it's all mistakes. It will not help us and it will not help the United States. But it's not my choice. And I hope he will change his attitude to Putin ... we can't compare me and Putin. He's the aggressor."

A group of Democratic U.S. senators are the latest to demand that Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly pledge the Department of Justice (DOJ) won’t seize ballots or election materials during the midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Todd Blanche must confirm DOJ won’t seize ballots, senators demand

“This confirmation is necessary because Department leaders have been sending conflicting public signals," the senators wrote in a letter to Blanche.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.
