El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

What the Hell Happened to Sean Duffy’s Road-Trip TV Show?

'I suspect that many people in our culture—particularly privileged men—are easily hooked on generative AI and taken in by its mindless syncophancy. In short, they miss female subordinates who seamlessly do their bidding.' (Kate Manne) katemanne.substack.com/p/a-culture-...

A Culture Hooked on Generative AI is a Culture that Misses Female Sycophants

Schiff: "The president is entitled to his own views about me or anybody else. He is not entitled, however, to use the DOJ to go after his political opponents. The day we say that's ok and the day we confirm an AG who says that's ok is the day the rule of law becomes merely an unenforceable idea."

Let’s see if Susan Collins stands by her “concerns”, or if she folds like she always does.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.

One thing people should notice, Dems are turning out in almost 2X the numbers of GOP in Michigan so far for this

Never forget: republicans not only sold their souls, they sold out the country, the rule of law and your freedom. It’s their job to rein him in. They chose not to.

It is surprising that there is not widespread public outrage among Americans regarding this issue. The majority of the funds will be allocated to shareholders, leaving little to no benefit for the lower-level employees. And will the prices come down for you, who paid the tariffs?

Thank you to everyone who voted today. And a special thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped at the polls! 💚

'If you aren’t on the ground in schools, I’m not sure you can really grasp just how relentless & ugly the steady denigration of teachers has been in this country for past few decades.

Heritage Foundation fought to “save” girls’ sports, taking a stand against trans athletes. They argue: “male genetics & physiology provide inherent competitive advantages, undermining fairness for females.” Their true intention was to dismantle women’s sports. jesspiper.substack.com/p/give-them-...

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Most Black Texas voters back James Talarico over Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate race, a poll finds, despite primary tensions. Fewer than one in 10 Black voters in Texas say they are less likely to vote in November due to U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s defeat in the Democratic primary. bit.ly/3TWvw6F

Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.

Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and RFK on TV told everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.
