“Did Mitch win his primary?” “No, sir. He’s still dead.” “How about Lindsey?” “He’s still dead too, sir.” “At least Amir Hassan won, right?” “No, sir. He lost to the guy who dropped out last month.” “The Mexicans only gave us one good word, and that’s siesta. Very few people know that.”

🔥 Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social: “Mike Rogers served special interests in Congress. He made $14 million after leaving and moved to Florida to play golf… politics has changed. You have to stand for something. We look forward to sending him back to Florida to golf with his buddies.” ⛳️

Just a note that @jbendery.bsky.social is 100% worth following. Always finds stories like these that matter, and yet are a bit under the radar.
Jen Bendery@jbendery.bsky.social · 4h agoFormer J6 federal prosecutors are begging senators -- mostly GOPers, but a handful of Dems are in there, too -- to stop confirming election deniers to lifetime federal courts seats. “Please stop poisoning our courts." www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...
El-Sayed on Islamophobia: "That's the only play they got. They're gonna point at me, they're gonna point at my name, like, 'Wow, he's different.' That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is now taking us to war."
🤷🏼 @timmiller.bsky.social: “Trump has lost touch with MAGA base — between the war, economy, gas prices ⬆️ , putting gold everywhere… he doesn’t even seem to have a plan. I’m not that surprised his numbers have slipped. Even his supporters are like ‘how can I get excited about this anymore?’”
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.'"

Every single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents
“THAT’S THE BEST YOU GOT?” Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social reacts to Republicans using his full name in a clearly bigoted effort to gin up racist, Islamophobic fear around his candidacy.
El-Sayed: "They spent an unprecedented amount of money to beat us -- attack ad after attack ad after attack ad after attack ad, wall to wall ads. But it turns out that the commercials are the part of the television show most people don't want to watch."
Wild. It’s like Van Jones thinks we were all hit with the Men In Black memory eraser
Come on folks. Give Trump some credit. It’s a lot of work to cheat at 18 holes of golf over 10 years.
