On one hand, it's a good thing CBS finally told the truth. On the other hand, CBS can still go fuck themselves. Bullshit artist Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, even with all their money, can't buy back credibility. And smart Americans will never forgive them for what they did to Stephen Colbert.

UPDATE: CBS News reverses course, airs story on 9/11 families supporting Mamdani

Last week, CBS News New York falsely reported that “thousands of 9/11 victims’ families are asking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year’s solemn remembrance ceremony.” The articl...

Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.

Whenever one of these freaks goes off on a tangent about their trans conspiracy of the day, the proper response -- from an interviewer or anyone else -- is "well, it seems like you're having some sort of mental breakdown here, so we'll wrap it up"

Royce White is now ranting about "transgender sex dolls" during a forum that is supposed to be about agricultural issues. This guy is a serious Republican in Minnesota who had the party's nomination for a Senate seat two years ago. Insanity.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Abdul El-Sayed wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan.

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

I grew up watching old anime: Gundam, Urusei Yatsura, Macross, Orguss, Giant Corg, Vifam, Godmars, Mazinger Z, Dirty Pair, Ideon, Yamato, Goshogun, Captain Harlock, Votoms, etc. What's stunning is that so much of that anime has not only held up well, but I appreciate it even more now that I'm older.

i think about this all the time

El-Sayed on Islamophobia: "That's the only play they got. They're gonna point at me, they're gonna point at my name, like, 'Wow, he's different.' That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is now taking us to war."

To be loved is to be changed.

El-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."

El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

i’m goin to bed but regardless of outcome it is absolutely undeniable that we are in the midst of a progressive surge that was made possible in no small part by the ground game tactics the dsa fine tuned and scaled for mamdani where nyc goes, so goes the nation!

just woke up and see 96.2% of expected votes are in (estimated 61,000 remaining) with Abdul El-Sayed maintaining a lead of 14,898–an expected drop as larger Stevens pockets wrap up. Stevens would need 3 of every 4 votes remaining to win.

I can’t speak for NBC’s reasoning on calling it for El-Sayed but with 91.1% in (140k expected left), AES has sustained +20k over Stevens (rn +25k). If you look at pcts lagging (<90% in), the % of her lead pace is <25k votes. She’d need an unanswered bump but when votes come in, he gains too.

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?"

🚨🚨🚨 Trump is telling his followers to “get ready for another rigged election” because he knows The GOP is going to lose!

Note to the media: El Sayed isn't running against the Democratic 'establishment' he's running against Mike Rogers. Spend a little more time covering that race and put this manufactured party crisis crap in the rear view mirror.

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…

NEWS: Abdul El-Sayed has won the Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan. He will face off against Republican Mike Rogers in November.

Mallory McMorrow immediately endorses: “Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed for winning the Democratic primary to become our nominee to be Michigan’s next US Senator. I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party”

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

i really have no patience whatsoever for people who are scared of muslims having elected office

Seconded. It’s wrong on principle, it’s unamerican—we rejected religious tests for office and dual loyalty smears with JFK, Jewish Americans, more—and every minority (especially but not exclusively religious) should recognize it as yet another assertion that only white Christians are real Americans.
