El-Sayed is projected to win the Michigan Democratic Senate primary and will go up against Mike Rogers in November
University of Michigan voters have a 100% El-Sayed precinct right now.
What a surprise, the alleged abuser was jacking himself up on testosterone.

A civilian medical plane went down after an experimental US military GPS jamming test reportedly disrupted its radar. Every person aboard lost their life. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...
I'm so f*cking tired of this sh*t. If this happened under Biden or Obama or any other president, it would be a five alarm fire. This level of incompetence is infuriating. And the lack of accountability just makes it worse.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
The House is on vacation, after accomplishing nothing since their last vacation.
Cool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?
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."
Why do we bother obeying the law and paying our taxes when the President does neither? He is playing us all for fools!
Call 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.
I prefer presidents who don’t have their accounts closed over money laundering concerns.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure
ABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"
Q: You’ve been Republicans for most of your voting lives. Who’s voting for James Talarico? Republican moms: *all raise their hands* “I like him. I want a middle school teacher who’s like, hey, this is broken. Somebody needs to fix it. Why not me?”

Wrote a little piece on why subsidiarity for AI is a great idea...
Pope Leo is drawing on a 95-year-old Catholic principle called ‘subsidiarity’ to argue that AI should be governed by the people most affected by it, not concentrated in the hands of a few powerful corporations. theconversation.com/the-catholic...
Trump administration moves to block public from enforcing environmental protection laws
Trump administration moves to block public from enforcing environmental protection laws
For decades, regular citizens and advocacy groups have filed suits that forced companies and the federal government to clean up the environment. Trump officials have moved to limit that power.

I am in NYC. There were two overflow morgues within blocks of my apartment. I used to have to walk past one every day when walking my dog. The ambulances suddenly seemed to go quiet--because when they got to people, sometimes they were already gone. I saw people coming out in body bags too often.
RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>
RFK Jr.: “You probably don’t understand this as you’re not a scientist.” Dana Bash: “You’re not a scientist either.”
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
We didn’t ask you to release a diary. We demanded you release the Epstein files. We even passed a law.

The President’s job is to help Americans in need, not punish them for voting against him. Trump has approved nearly 90% of disaster-aid requests from Republican-led states. But not one, not two, not three—FOUR Democratic-led states were denied assistance they needed and qualified for.
Trump overrode his own agencies to deny 4 Democratic disaster requests
President Donald Trump cast aside bipartisan precedent when he rejected eligible disaster requests from four blue states.

Reminder, the only time Trump played a golf tournament where he couldn't cheat, the American Century celebrity tournament in 2006, he shot 52 over par in 3 rounds and finished in 62nd place out of 80 celebrities, then cheated on his wife with a pornstar www.nbcsports.com/american-cen...
