Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

Chicago's top federal prosecutor noted in a court filing that his office has already dropped charges in the case, implemented “robust root-cause changes” and started the process of reviewing over 1,00...

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.'"

Can anybody explain to me why there was no primary competition for the Republican Senate nomination in Michigan? Seems kind of bizarre to me, given how the Michigan GOP ... has literally had fist fights over leadership.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

"As of May, FEMA has pushed out over 6,400 employees since President Donald Trump took office last year." It also cut many FEMA contractors who supported those offices. My colleagues and I at the FEMA Climate Resilience Integration Branch (RIP) were among them.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

Kind of ironic that some of the same "Blue no matter who!" crowd who said any reluctance to vote for a democratic candidate was a "purity" issue, are now saying they won't vote for Abdul El-Sayed...

“El-Sayed barely won” Haley Stevens spent ~79% of total spent on ads to El-Sayed’s 9%. He was outspent by over 8x and yet still won. That is an amazing feat considering all of the odds stacked against him! Also, he was racistly and Islamophobically slandered the ENTIRE race and yet he STILL won

Abdul won, but it was extremely close and he lost the biggest Black city in Michigan. Progressives think they understand "the Black vote" but it's very clear they don't. The progressive movement is picking up steam but they need to do a ton of work to understand the concerns of Black voters.

beating $70 MM in dark money, after getting outspent 9-1, is a good victory, even if it’s by 1 vote, imo 😉👍🏼

one of the greatest things about living in southwest detroit is that sometimes your devices all just sort of collectively shudder from a voltage drop because the power grid is in such bad shape. and, notably, sometimes the power grid just blows up your electronics and the utility does not care.

A lot going on here. First, Miller looks shaken. Or drunk. Second, he comes off every bit the creep that he seems to be. Saying he isn't dropping out because Trump didn't drop out after being accused of sexual assault is a hell of a choice. And third, he doesn't appear to know what hearsay means.

I'm not a Constitutional lawyer or anything but doesn't it seem like that document in particular might be worth consulting as far as, I don't know, how to rein in the president?
