Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

"Thomas Smith, the projected winner, dropped out of the race just weeks before Election Day." "With just about all of the votes counted, the candidate endorsed by the president lost the GOP congressional primary by roughly 17 points to a rival who was no longer running."

For all of Trump’s chest-thumping about the potency of his endorsements, especially in GOP primaries, three Trump-backed Republicans have lost in the last two months. The Amir Hassan example in Michigan, however, is clearly the most embarrassing. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

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."

No just no🤦‍♀️

Trump claimed his Qatari gifted flying palace was going to his presidential library, but now he's saying maybe not. He wants a different older Air Force 1 to go there instead. Obviously he wants to keep it as his personal plane, but isn't sure how to do it legally. www.rawstory.com/trump-luxury...

Oh I could not resist this!!! OBAMA!!! Lmfao.

Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.

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.

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

New 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.

Tapper: Senator Moreno said on Sunday that you have admitted privately that you need to get help. Miller: That’s projection. Tapper: Have you ever said that? Miller: No, not to him. Tapper: To anyone? Miller: I think a lot of people within this country see a therapist

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

El-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."

They don't just want to keep trans women out of women's sports- they want to keep ALL women out of sports! Heritage says that organized sports makes girls "More male" and bad mothers. Females shouldn't compete at all- they need only activities that enhance "grace and beauty". ENHANCE THIS, pal! 🖕

Give Them an Inch...

And they'll take away women's sports...
