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…
Insider Information as a Service. What a concept. This is as politically corrupt as it gets. What are we going to do about it?
Picture it - Obama - clad in a tan suit - comes out and announces he's selling access to his press releases 15 minutes early for $100k/month "The Crowd Goes Wild!"

This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.
Jackasses like him think they're just so much smarter than everyone else.
I literally wrote and gifted an article about Trump and how dangerous he is *five hours ago*
I know you have a distinguished anti-Trump record So maybe use this as an opportunity to blast him again and the whole GOP: It’s Reps fault he’s winning and if Reps don’t fix their party we‘ll only see more of this
I cannot overstate his much I hate liars.
Trump is still lying through his teeth about vandalism at the reflecting pool rather than admitting his utter failure. Yesterday he did it by posting, today in person in a room full of reporters. I cannot overstate his much I hate liars.
Kash Patel is going to get fired by Trump for his flagrant corruption. Ironic.

Pirro should be disbarred. Burgum should be fired. Trump should be impeached. And they all should be criminally charged.
🚨 BREAKING: The DOJ is moving to dismiss the indictment against David Hearn in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool case and is admitting the damage was the result of a flawed, botched installation job, not vandalism.
The climate scientists Trump fired set up their own nonprofit climate science website. givebutter.com/climate-for-...
He lied. Yet another major scandal for the Trump regime. Everyone involved should be fired and brought up on charges.
BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it
The right answer to this question is that Democrats are often a suicidal party, which is how Republicans have taken many winnable seats away from them
random thought, if Dems were splitting *this much* against who you think is the perfect general election candidate, do you maybe think if that candidate won, it would've actually depressed turnout and harmed the general election chances?

@cwarzel.bsky.social tells @timmiller.bsky.social why the tech oligarchs’ grand vision for the future feels so profoundly anti-human: "They don't seem to be able to articulate a brilliant vision of what the future looks like, because I think their imaginations are really, really small."
First it was Iran to push the Epstein files off the front page. Then, when the Iran war turned into a fiasco, it was back to the 2020 election and Covid. Every crisis needs a new distraction.
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
