After Michigan Loss, AIPAC Weighs a Second Effort to Defeat El-Sayed

The pro-Israel organization spent $32 million in an unsuccessful effort to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary. It might try again in the general election.

We’ve depleted our missiles. Trump was unaware. Hegseth thought his deputy told Trump. It’s partly why Trump had to call of his escalation against Iran. Other than that, everything’s fine: wapo.st/4hQVTF0

We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!

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.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Trump on gas prices: "We may have to send it up again. You know what happens when we send it up, but we hope we don't have to"

First of all, this is a stupid lie. Second, Donald is intentionally *raising* the cost of prescriptions. He is cruelly about to cut Medicare subsidies for drugs.

Trump: "I don't get credit for anything. Even prescription drug prices, where they're down 600 percent."

He has been saying this for over two years and NOT A SINGLE CORPORATE JOURNALIST IN AMERICA has gotten him to explain what it means Which makes me wonder how they walk the streets of D.C. looking at anything but their own shoes in disgrace

Trump on the Biden years: "We had transgender for everybody"

Let's be clear, Trump is in Las Vegas to champion his billionaire friends he gave the biggest tax break in history to... not the working families who are struggling in the economy have wrecked. The average Nevada family now pays $2,900 more on necessities since Trump took office.

Trump: "You see it in the blue states run by Democrats -- everything is filthy dirty all the time. The cities stink The sidewalks are loaded w/horrible stuff. I don't want to use the term bc my wife hates it. She hates it when I imitate no men in women's sports, when I do the weightlifter."

On today’s Uncovered: Max Miller abuse & Edwards harassment cases, Mike Johnson standing by them, Pirro & Reflecting Pool, Fetterman on Jon Stewart, Tillis, Cornyn & Collins fakery on Blanche, Trump’s golf game, Lindell’s new legal problems & lots more! www.youtube.com/live/xMgrzYs...

Trump: "We're taking a lot of oil from Venezuela -- billions and billions of barrels of oil. To the victor belong the spoils."

Historians will call this elder abuse. Trump was never well—he’s been diseased in the head since childhood, from throwing rocks at babies to threatening local kids with a bat to trying to murder a classmate to stealing valor (incredibly) in *high school*—but he’s utterly gone. This is a horror-show.

Trump in Nevada: "Vote for Michael Whatley, by the way" (Whatley is running in North Carolina)

Trump in Nevada on Iryna Zarutska: "You remember Willie Horton? This was Willie Horton, modern day. And that governor shouldn't be allowed to run for governor. Michael Whatley should be your governor." 🥴

Trump calls a family on stage, and a toddler starts walking around. Trump responds by saying, "Biden, Biden"

Trump calls a guy on stage wearing a Trump hat who says "I don't have a clue what's going on on the planet"

How incompetent an engineer do you have to be that your rocket collides with the nearest object to Earth in the endless space of the universe?

Lombardo on Trump: "When the press and media runs him down, they think about 'he's taking care of his billionaire friends.' But those billionaire friends provide jobs. And unless you take care of them, those jobs are absent."

The money quote is counterfeit. There's no record of El-Sayed saying that. Might be worth pointing this out, if you're amplifying the claim.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Sabotage, spite, or ideology...the damage looks identical either way, and it outlasts whoever's in office. You don't have to buy my theory for the consequences to land. www.JackHopkinsNow.com

El-Sayed: "I believe our kids have a right to our tax dollars. I'm about 10 min away from schools that look like they did 50 years ago. Our money should be spent here rather than sent in the form of bombs or tanks to foreign govts, particularly when they are doing most heinous things with them ... "

EL-SAYED: I want to make healthcare, groceries and gas more affordable, get rid of data centers, remove corporate money from politics and tax the rich. Republicans: El-Sayed is Muslim.

Worried about US electing a brown president when your family looks like this is insane...

Patel is trading personnel with China’s Ministry of Public Security, month on/month off, with Moscow penciled in for October. His counterintel bench is very alarmed. His answer: “We know exactly who is coming here, and we vet them.” This is BAD ju ju, folks.

The ruling follows the Supreme Court’s June decision that cleared the way for the administration to end the humanitarian program, leaving hundreds of thousands at risk of losing their legal status and facing deportation.

A federal judge has officially allowed the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 330,000 Haitians who have been living and working legally in the United States for years.

Somehow...I am not surprised. Screw the Epstein Files. Dump tRump before there is nothing left of the USA!!!

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
