On one hand, it's a good thing CBS finally told the truth. On the other hand, CBS can still go fuck themselves. Bullshit artist Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, even with all their money, can't buy back credibility. And smart Americans will never forgive them for what they did to Stephen Colbert.

UPDATE: CBS News reverses course, airs story on 9/11 families supporting Mamdani

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.'"

Chipotle isolated a single source of Jalapeno peppers contaminated with Salmonella. They figured it out. RFK Jr. can’t

This is your periodic reminder that the guy ranting and raving about "communists" is a 34-time convicted felon, rapist, and insurrectionist.

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

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.

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.

@cnn @msnowreports.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov McCarthyism = Trumpism. Like Joseph McCarthy, Trump is launching smear campaigns against Democrats by labeling them as "Communists." McCarthy created fear and paranoia and ruined reputations. His unpleasant memory is one made of lies & deceit.
