Smart stuff from @rephaleystevens.bsky.social early Tuesday morning: “Abdul has denounced socialism, like I have — If he wins, I’ll do whatever he asks me to do, I’ll still be in Congress till January — so whatever he needs.”
Stevens on El-Sayed: "He has denounced socialism"

Democrats have legislation that will make Social Security solvent for as far as the actuarial eye can see without cutting benefits. Where's the Republican proposal? It doesn't exist. - @whitehouse.senate.gov
My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
From @theathletic.com: A day after Aaron Rodgers called former top U.S. health official Dr. Anthony Fauci an “absolute coward,” Fauci’s attorney fired back: “Aaron Rodgers doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He should stick to football.”
Fauci’s lawyer fires back: ‘Aaron Rodgers doesn’t know what he’s talking about’
Mike McCarthy and the Steelers also responded to the quarterback’s criticism of Anthony Fauci on The Pat McAfee Show.

If you wonder why Ukraine keeps asking for Patriot missiles, this is why. 14 people were killed and 22 injured in russian ballistic missile strikes on the Kyiv region this night. Air defense saves lives, but only if it has missiles to fire.
El-Sayed was also spreading disinformation about Stevens. Even though Stevens in a moderate, she has done a lot of good serving this state and country. Like I said, as long as Citizens United exists, special interests on 'both' sides will spread disinformation. And no, I was not fooled.
Bessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."
Also, the headline dismissively referring to BS's calling Planned Parenthood the establishment as just "riling feminists" instead of what it is, fucking over the civil rights of over half the population, is bog standard misogyny also.
Has Ramaswamy taken a position on Max Miller yet? He should be forced to.
She got permission for this to help her campaign. Will Maine fall for it?

I recently visited Southtown Health Foods, a family-owned business that has served healthy foods in Chicago for generations.I'll continue fighting for policies that expand access to nutritious food, strengthen community health, and make it easier for families to live healthier lives.
NEW: The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia launched an unspecified number of North Korean ballistic missiles between July 29 and 30. Russia is likely using these missiles to exploit Ukraine’s lack of anti-ballistic missile interceptors. (1/6) Read the full update: isw.pub/KoreanUpdate...

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

🔥 NEW UNEARTHED AUDIO: Todd Blanche, Trump's “fixer” and nominee for Attorney General, is working to ban abortion in "every single state." Republicans in the Senate just voted to advance Blanche's nomination out of committee — he should be immediately disqualified as a partisan hack.
I think Ms. Alter should have put this article out a couple months ago… Interesting timing. Pretty ineffective?
Alter highlights El-Sayed musing on the need to hurt people to reach a long-term dream. "American Democracy .. [needs] invasive and painful operations" She says "he wants to operate." "You do it, even if you have to cut them and hurt them." (Abdul quit his medical training and is not a surgeon). 5/
Alter flags El-Sayed's belief that he's destined to lead: "he could tell a story about America that that no one else could tell." "The movement is a warrior.. he was the spear". She says he NEEDS to lead: "he likes to be in charge", and could not work with Whitner unless she adopted his views. 4/
Alter highlights El-Sayed's quick boredom with jobs. He'd started a Columbia professorship in Fall 2014, a star, but within months decided to leave and reached out to the mayor of Detroit. He started in Detroit in Aug 2015, but by Fall 2016 he wanted to quit that too: "his heart wasn't in it". 3/
