4/ And another point....you know who else makes up people's names and mispronounced them like Trump? Putin. He did that to Tokayev and other post-Soviet leaders that he saw as beneath him. Trump and Putin are so much alike! ...

Kazakh president Tokayev kindly told Putin that it's time to end the Ukraine war. Kazakhstan shares supply chains and oil pipelines with Russia. So that's in their interest. But, Tokayev is also buddies with President Xi. And likely passing the message it's time to end the war. #SheShed 🧵

Trump Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins just called his SNAP cuts a "pretty big win". Throwing 5 million struggling Americans — including families with children — off food aid to fund tax cuts for the rich isn't a "win". It's a national disgrace.

In another era, a story like this would be in 50-point on A1: ELECTION OFFICIALS ACROSS NATION PREPARE FOR DIRECT THREATS FROM PRESIDENT Alas, in today's world, this is just a Wednesday. I hope we can come back from this brink. Too many lives depend on it.

This was not a good night for the DSA. Sayed underperformed in a purple state and a democratic primary. The Democratic party base was with Haley Stevens rejecting Sayed. No this was not a good night for them. Will he be able to beat Rogers?
I would like to know specifically what was "distinctly anti-American" Like, maybe an actual quote?

So much for "vote blue no matter who." Wild how Stevens took $60M in dark money from a foreign lobby, but its the brown guy Scholten calls anti-American

Move out of the way, Hillary Scholten, D-MI… I recommend you take a few minutes & watch Abdul Al-Sayed’s final statement election night (around 1:30am) It was all about his pure love of being an American and his complete devotion to America. He took $0 from any corporate PACs or foreign money.

An abandoned SpaceX rocket travelling at around 5,400mph is expected to crash into the moon, leaving a crater with a diameter of around 17m. (via BBC) The collision is expected to take place today at 7:35 BST, just under an hour from the time of this post.
These are insane numbers. If El-Sayed wins after being outspent by this much, wow, watch out!
It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.
The Russian Republicans have never done anything to help the American people and their families. They are only interested in Enriching themselves and that’s it.
“The fight isn’t over yet.” Jeffrey Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky says Todd Blanche’s confirmation effort is “depressing,” but she’s not giving up. Don’t let the Epstein files disappear from the conversation. Survivors deserve justice. ⚖️ #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance
