Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.

Judge Williams denies Trump's motion for a stay of her sanctions order and agrees with the amici to let them file a brief in normal course, due August 14. So absent a stay from the 11th circuit, the official state of play on the settlement agreement is that there is no settlement agreement.

JUST IN: Trump is scrambling to stop the BBC from digging into the finances of his business empire after a judge ordered him to hand over records in his $10B defamation lawsuit against the network.
Thank you, Michigan. I love you from the bottom of my heart!
The rules of the game have changed. Because of you, Michigan. We cannot be bought. Onto November.
The money quote is counterfeit. There's no record of El-Sayed saying that. Might be worth pointing this out, if you're amplifying the claim.

It’s been 166 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & big corporations are getting their refunds. $2.2 BILLION for Apple, $600 MILLION for Amazon, $300 million for Nike. When are American families going to see the $1,700 they're owed? Return the money, NOW.
Corporate America got billions of dollars in tariff refunds. Where’s your cut? | CNN Business
Apple got an estimated $2.2 billion tariff refund last quarter. Amazon got $600 million. Nike got $300 million. But American consumers who paid higher prices as President Donald Trump’s tariffs filter...

A new @abdulelsayed.bsky.social ad out from Senate Majority PAC — stark contrast to the Mike Rogers fearmongering that has already started
Congratulations to our endorsed primary candidates Abdul El-Sayed, Will Lawrence, Fred Wellman, Sean McCann, Abbas Alawieh, and Alabas Farhat for a monumental night in Michigan for the progressive movement. Now the work continues onto the general.
This administration is so corrupt that when ordered to pay back the millions in tariffs, the only recipients on those checks were the billionaires who charged the consumers for the tariffs!

ICE out of Inwood. ICE out of every neighborhood. People are dying in ICE custody. Children separated from parents. Communities are shut out of vital services. We won't give up—and we know our rights: advocate.nyc.gov/blog/resources-to-protect-and-defend-immigrant-communities 📷 Cristobal Vivar
The lack of pushback on this toddler with a gun in the White House is insane. Cornyn is a classic example of a dithering, spineless, do nothing politician who has been in office and next to corruption too long. Shameful.

Taking away healthcare and food from people who paid into the system their entire lives is a MORAL failure. SOCIAL SECURITY IS OUR MONEY, and access to food & medicine is a fundamental right! 🛒💔Please help sound the alarm before these cuts begin. We cannot let them starve vulnerable communities! ⚔️💪
Peter Morley ♿️@petermorley.bsky.social · 5h agoDear @markhamillofficial.bsky.social , We need the power of the FORCE to stop what's heading our way in January. 🚨The ‘BIG UGLY Bill' is a direct assault on our most vulnerable. Millions of disabled Americans, seniors, and families face devastating, historic cuts to both MEDICAID and SNAP benefits.
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
He wasn’t elected. It was a primary. And his Democratic opponent is a DINO who campaigned with 60 million in blood money. She outspent El-Sayed 10-1 and STILL LOST. The people of Michigan have spoken. Establishment Dems OUT!
Congratulations to @jocelynbenson.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, and all the candidates up and down the ticket who earned our party’s nomination here in Michigan. Now it’s time to come together and deliver the case that Democrats must make over the next 90 days, everywhere we go.
Susan Collins has gone on record saying she won't vote to confirm Todd Blanche. Of course, that's good news.But the only reason she's doing so is because she's up for reelection & she's trying to appeal to Maine's independent voters. With McConnell gone, we need just 2 more Republicans to vote "no".
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
