NEWS — Haley Stevens has endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers.

Wolf Blitzer: Why is Israel, another country, your red line right now, this is what your critics are saying, rather than a domestic issue that impacts Americans' everyday lives? John Fetterman, visibly confused throughout the entire interview: Yeah, absolutely.

Happy 1.0 Launch Day, #FieldsofMistria !!🎉✨

I fully support the Republicans making their affordability message "cry me a river."

So far so good, but not everybody sees a written statement. She needs to get out there and campaign with him. Make it very clear to her primary supporters that they need to support him in the general. We need a united front.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

NEW: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel across state lines as tracked by Flock as part of the probable cause justification to search his car.

Cops Used Flock to Track a Man Across State Lines to Create Pretext to Search His Car for Weed

"The vehicle travels to Michigan frequently which is a known source state for marijuana as it is legal there," a probable cause justification reads.

Abdul El-Sayed has never held elected office and just won the primary for a senate seat in the biggest battleground state in the country by beating a congresswoman who was endorsed by the current Senator, Governor, and Schumer & the DSCC while being outspent over 10 to 1. That win is plenty big.

If you can’t impeach a President for laundering money, War crimes, corruption, Market Manipulations, illegal Wars nowadays, what can you impeach them for?

Most people are primed to believe that censorship and surveillance lead to more safety. Anytime we get into a debate between "freedom" and "safety" we are always going to lose. The digital rights movement needs to chart a new path and show how we can stop Big Tech without trashing human rights.

Here's some more good news from today's hearing: it seems like the SCREEN ACT totally failed. This was one of the most dangerous bills being considered: it would have created an Internet-wide ID check regime that would be a censorship and surveillance nightmare for marginalized communities.

All of this reminds me of how the out-of-touch govt like Lieberman were trying to blame video games back in the 90s & wanted to shut them down or something lame like that. 🤦🏻‍♀️

But here's the thing: the Senate version of KOSA they just advanced is wildly different from the House version of KOSA they advanced as part of the KIDS Act. The committee knows they can't be reconciled This is theater not substance. They want to say they "protected the kids" without doing anything

First, the bad news: as predicted the committee unanimously advanced the Kids Online Safety Act or KOSA. It's particularly embarrassing that progressive Democrats allowed this to advance on a voice vote despite opposition from human rights, LGBTQ+, racial justice, and civil liberties organizations.

Occurring to me that AIPAC has $30m less to spend on conservatives in general elections than they would have.

This is an astounding loss for the US if it comes to fruition. One of the biggest strategic losses the US has ever endured—perhaps biggest?—and all from a war the US chose to start for no reason, illegally.

Iran and Oman have reportedly agreed that all ships transiting Hormuz have to go through an Iran-controlled corridor, and are finalizing tolls of 3, 5, or 7%. This would close off the path outside Iranian waters the US encouraged ships to use during the MOU, then started bombing again to keep open.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.

Maybe Klobuchar should hold another “Seersucker Day” with her Republican colleagues and bring this up with them.

Klobuchar responds: "None of my opponents on this stage condemned what ICE did. Not a word. Two innocent people were killed, shot in the back. We had many people arrested when they weren't supposed to be arrested, and we need reform to ICE."

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
