3/ Dem nominee has been a “centrist” by this maximal definition. And again, I want everyone to rally around ES. Because he’s the nominee (or will be in a few hours) and I think he can win and for the country’s sake we need him to win. But I guess particularly online you get exposed to …

Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.social · 21h agoAnyone else think it’s weird that Trump alleged massive election interference by the CCP… but never really followed that up with any action? It should be abundantly clear these claims of election fraud are just a pretext to justify interfering in the midterms.

Jeanine Pirro abruptly abandoned the four cases after investigators concluded that botched work by a contractor was the primary cause of "widespread damage."
