Michigan's US Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is a political rock star. Having viewed him on MTP and SOTU this a.m., I'm very impressed with his style, messaging and stance on the issues. His following is likely to grow as he continues on the campaign trail.
Judge Luttig predicts that Democrats will win the midterm elections, but because of Todd Blanche's confirmation as AG, they will never be seated. Blanche and Speaker Johnson, he suspects, will blame voter fraud for the GOP election losses, and thus refuse to seat incoming democratic party members. 😡
Retired Judge Says Senators Will ‘Bear … Badge of Shame’ for Confirming Todd Blanche as AG

Democrat senate candidates running to replace an incumbent this November, need to get tough! They need to get loud. They need to get noticed. But most of all, they need to brand their Blanche confirmation voting opponent as a "Guardian of Pedophiles." They need to repeat it daily. MAKE IT STICK.

If not Blanche, then who will the next nominee be for AG? I'm thinking Blanche won't be confirmed. But I think Trump will stick with him to ensure the protection of the Epstein files for as long as Blanche's temporary status can hold.

The referring of the Department of Defense as the Department of War, as Secretary Hegseth did during today's hearing, lends the impression that the administration intends on keeping America in a forever war. BTW, maybe Pete should consider changing the spelling of his sir name to Hagueseth. 🤔
As predicted with Republicans defunding Obama Care/ACA, and removing people off of Medicaid and Medicare, but hey, Elon is now a trillionaire and the mega-rich got their tax cuts. I wonder if MAGA is content in having their rural hospitals closing.
