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."
They are truly scared of all Muslims. Like, deathly afraid.

El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."
An Asian small-clawed otter eating seashells. 🦦 These otters have partially webbed paws that allow them to use their front feet like little hands to grab and eat their food. They are highly intelligent and have been observed using sunlight to heat clams, causing them to open. #otter
Progressives won three competitive congressional primaries in Michigan despite being outspent nearly 10-1. Politico didn’t get the big election night they wanted.

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
I'd love to hear why my book White Flight -- which won prizes from the Southern Historical Association and the American Political Science Association -- was deemed not good enough for students at Texas A&M.

"So he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video" is a direct callback to this image that deserves a second life in this campaign
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 6h agoDr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.
this name shit would be the perfect time for obama and/or mamdani to do a hit for el-sayed. "we've heard a lot of people attacking dr el-sayed over his name. well, for eight years they called me PRESIDENT hussein obama. and i'm MAYOR mamdani. so maybe its time for SENATOR el-sayed."

Mark Meadows, Madison Cawthorn, Chuck Edwards...can't wait to see the next evolution of MAGA freak that claws it's way out of the cesspool to represent NC-11. #Chuckedwards

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 20h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and RFK on TV told everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
"Today's vote to advance Todd Blanche is a slap in the face to the rule of law ... the senators with concerns about the slush fund & the Epstein files asked for a legally binding commitment & settled for a pinky promise." Our full @democracydefendersaction.org statement👇 -TN

When Whitehouse is on, he's on. This is a flamethrower.

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.
