Texans, including former State Rep. Lon Burnam, were arrested for defending our voting rights. Tarrant County leaders tried to slash 𝟭𝟰𝟬 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. That’s nearly HALF of the election day polling locations! Texans showed up, fought back, and forced them to back down—for now.

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN

El Sayed’s Win last night was not a Surprise. Well done Michigan!
Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙
A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
MacFarlane: I think it's an anti-establishment era we may be entering here. Look at all the different ways in which people are bucking against establishment. If El-Sayed is somebody who channels people who don't want the establishment to run and to reign, he's going to have a big night…
What a jerk… $5M to gold plate beautiful bronze statues! He funneled all the money from our National Parks… estimated at up to $90M for all his projects & the excessive fireworks. Meanwhile there’s no money to help families with healthcare & kids cut off from SNAP are hungry! #Blues
