In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

Super PACs just started pouring dark money into the FL-25 Democratic primary in the last 24 hours to keep AIPAC-backed incumbent Jared Moskowitz in office. We need everyone to get the word out to overcome this corrupt spending and win our primary on August 18.

Say you're a bush pilot flying food, clean water, and medicine to a remote town. One day, you decide you just don't feel like doing it. People in the town die because they didn't get meds in time. Are you responsible for those deaths? Bremmer says "obviously" no. I say obviously, undoubtedly, yes.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 2w agoFuck you, Ian Bremmer, you abject ghoul.
Trump’s threatened to end Iran’s civilization over 4 months ago. So I really don’t think he’s going to get Iran to surrender with his 129th Truth Social threat.
Trump just ordered federal debarment officials to investigate the National Academy of Sciences. Lincoln chartered the NAS in 1863. It has advised every president since. Its offense? Explaining climate science to judges. We used to be the country scientists fled to—not from.
So, the Trump administration put up some kind of half-assed tarp, presumably to block the view of the reflecting pool, and it looks like it's working about as well as everything else Trump has touched.
The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

BUT, I TREASURE the words he shared with me re: my advocacy via his staff. His dancing makes me HAPPY when I'm in pain. REST IN POWER!🙏
