A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

Many stories have conveyed how crass and insulting Trump's "speech" last night was. Few have conveyed how literally insane he sounded. Long, LONG disquisition on The Ballroom, complete with "Sir" stories. Claim that 450k people came to hear him on July 4. Iran has no remaining weapons. WHCA: Why??

SCHIFF: The president was convicted in a case you represented him in of falsifying business records for tax purposes. Does this settlement not absolve him of any liability for tax crimes associated with what he's been convicted of? BLANCHE: He can't be audited for that SCHIFF: Of course he can be
I will not believe he is alive until I see him speak in person (on camera). It's not that hard. Otherwise he is dead or brain dead, and we should have a law against elected officials holding a seat they are incapable of filling and a job they can not do.
