Olivia Rodrigo wore an Amy Acton shirt while on stage during her concert in Columbus, Ohio, this evening.
Billionaires like Elon Musk are spending gobs of money to elect candidates who can then turn around & funnel your taxpayer dollars to those same billionaires’ companies. @robertgarcia.house.gov & I have a bill to close this corrupt campaign cash-for-contracts loophole.
EL-SAYED: RFK JR. was in town this week. He said that the 500 million Arabs in the world had never contributed anything to science. But to be fair, he is an expert on people who never contributed anything to science.
For the first time in my life I am unironically recommending an article on National Review. Really. www.nationalreview.com/corner/a-lis...
A List of Things Democrats Might Do If They Retake Power | National Review
This agenda should terrify conservatives.

The NY Times will publish a hit piece on the Democratic Alaska senate candidate six days before an Election but won't mention a new rape allegation against the President of the United States.
To overstate the contributions that Dolores Huerta has made to the lives of the American people is, quite frankly, nearly impossible.

Grotesque use of the euphemism “meddle” by @nytimes.com editors. “meddling” is done by the pesky kids from Scooby Doo cartoons. In reality the goal is to subvert democracy. Fascinating and informative to watch editors like those at @inquirer.com reformulate NYT editors’ headlines.
Trump and the GOP's real base of support — billionaires, Big Oil, Big Tech, Crypto, AIPAC & Wall Street — know that the midterms may limit what they can get away with in the future. That's why they are pumping record sums into this election. But remember: Organized people can beat organized money.
Democrats: a supercut of Trump talking shit set to Little Lies by Fleetwood Mac.
Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”
Leaning all the way into the racism. I hope MI voters see this for what it is.
Trump’s attacks against Abdul El-Sayed get more xenophobic as Republicans fall further behind in the polls apnews.com/article/trum...
It’s peak Trumpism when Republicans blow up a school full of Iranian Muslim girls and then call an American politician a terrorist because he’s Muslim.
it is hard to sell how effective this was. the far right here was completely lost in the past two weeks because *nothing* of their tried and true methods to dictate public opinion and the media were working. even bot farming views to pump the algo did jack shit
One of my biggest takeaways from the post-election reporting from Brazil is a confirmation of something I’ve been saying for years now: The way to defeat the algo is to amplify our own candidates, not rage bait post about the far right. Seriously think about how many big name accounts are built
I will not forget that Zuckerberg and Facebook shut down the accounts of the most popular presidential candidate in one of the largest democracies in the world, and he was elected anyway
Just saw this AI ad 2x during one commercial break this AM. How is this legal?!
I got a political ad during my workout on YouTube this a.m. that was a very realistic AI version of Gov. Shapiro standing inside of a data center w/ lightning coming from his fingertips and connecting to the machines. I was so out of breath b/w jump squats I didn't get it on video but it was wild.
The *second* best thing about a James Talarico win would be how angry this annoying, interfering dork will be at not being able to buy a Senate seat for $200,000,000.
We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.
Q: The president is coming back to Georgia on Saturday-- OSSOFF: Good. It will remind Georgians of the president's failure
