I love that this might be the thing that tanks Paxton, and not the biblical divorce or letting a child rapist out early.

🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife). Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

We've been boiled frogs for so long this never gets mentioned. But this violates DOJ policies that have been in place for decades, ones that Defense Attorney Todd Blanche said should have extended for the entirety of the time his client had declared his candidacy. (Tho I think this was DHS.)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal agents searched Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say.

Elon Musk has given Republican campaigns $650 million – MORE THAN HALF A BILLION DOLLARS – in the last few years. He's not doing it to make Americans more free. He's doing it to make Americans his serfs.

Inside Elon Musk’s $276 Million Midterm Rescue Mission for Republicans (Gift Article)

The world’s richest person has quietly become by far the biggest known midterm donor, trying to save Republicans’ Senate majority with some of the largest donations in American political history.

Elon Musk was violating his visa when he started his first business here and very likely obtained his U.S. citizenship through fraud. Where is that investigation?

HELL Kennedy@helenkennedy.com · 17h ago

Fox News is reporting this is a criminal investigation into the immigration paperwork filled out by Ilhan Omar’s late father when she was a child 40 years ago. I actually think this is so nakedly outrageous it will blow back on them. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 16h ago

If Ilhan Omar was a Norwegian Christian, Trump wouldn't be going after her. The attack on her is an obvious campaign of racial and religious hatred. And it only works if a majority of voters have lost their sense of decency.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 14h ago

Looking forward to the same scrutiny being impartially applied to Elon Musk and Melania Trump, whose immigration documents are much much worse than anything alleged about Omar's father

Dante Atkins@danteatkins.bsky.social · 14h ago

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

Why don't reporters ask Trump, "Why do you promote racist hatred against ethnic groups?" Answer: Because the reporters' bosses and the owners of their news outlets don't want them to ask that question.

Trump: "The Republican Party, we believe that Somalia bandits, third-world gangs, and jihadist sympathizers do not belong in Ohio, they do not belong in America. We got to get them the hell out of here." More "De-port! De-port!" chants from the crowd.

Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only)@axidentaliberal.bsky.social · 5h ago

The level of pure racism that leads certain people to vote MAGA is the worst kept secret in America. Oh, they’ll tell you it’s the economy, or voter fraud, or maybe the deficit even. The truth, though, is that they’re just a bunch of bigots-and thrilled to have one of their own in the White House

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration continued airing taxpayer-funded ads promoting President Donald Trump after a federal judge ordered the campaign halted, then told the court Monday that an internal email delay was to blame. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"

Guess who was one of the biggest spreaders of that bogus claim about Talarico supposedly disappearing to Ohio? As @annamerlan.bsky.social reports, "The biggest election disinformation risk in the next few weeks is Elon Musk." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk is the midterms' biggest disinformation risk

The world’s wealthiest man pours money into GOP candidates while backing a floridly fake story about a Democrat on the platform he owns.

Here is Trump's "policy" about investigative steps before an election: 1. If you are a Republican, there is never a time when such steps are permitted. 2. If you are a Democrat, there is never a time when such steps are forbidden. If legacy media is suggesting anything else, they are lying.
