Once Abdul El-Sayed wins the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, we need @barackobama.bsky.social & @kamalaharris.com to actively campaign in person for him in Michigan. Although the November choice is between democracy & fascism, they can positively drive Black voter turnout to secure the win.
Bottom line - Are there any Democratic candidates (in Pennsylvania or other states) asking Fetterman to campaign for them?
Sanders never endorsed Gabbard - she endorsed him. Sanders opposed Sinema - see below. Fetterman pre-stroke wasn't in Netanyahu's pocket. Sanders rescinded support for Platner on 7/7 & called for him to step down as nominee. -- Unlike tens of millions who voted for Trump after the p-grabbing tape.
@govandybeshear.bsky.social What is your forecast for clearing up the fog surrounding Mitch McConnell and his ongoing viability as a Kentucky Senator?
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!" - Barry Goldwater, 1964 1/2 "Vice in the destruction of liberty is nice! Moderation in the pursuit of corruption is no virtue! - DJT
Wikipedia: "over the 20 years beginning in 2004, Thomas had accepted gifts worth $4.2 million, based on reporting by ProPublica and others. It estimated that over the same 20 years, the other eight justices plus the eight retired or deceased justices received gifts worth roughly $600,000 combined."
Maybe Tillis could have arranged with Trump so that Todd Blanche could give his "one afternoon only" performance at the Kennedy Center?
But everything here is tariffic! Maybe if we weren't paying Trump tariffs, inflation would be less? Prof. @justinwolfers.bsky.social - how much less might it be?
How most of us will remember him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedic... Imagine John McCain is having more than a few choice words with him now.
“I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,” said Rasner, 42... “This just isn’t the Wyoming I knew or thought I knew. Doesn't he remember Univ. of WY student Matthew Shepard who was beaten, tortured & left to die near Laramie on Oct. 6, 1998. Gay Republicans are about the $$$.
Curious how much shorter Trump looks since Erdogan is 6'1" and he is supposedly 6'3".
"Sen. Whitehouse is one of the Senate’s leading climate champions. He co-founded the Senate Climate Action Task Force... shaped major climate components of Senate Democrats’ historic Inflation Reduction Act... expected to push the US from 25% to 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions." See below
"let us discard all this quibbling about this man and the other man -- this race and that race and the other race being inferior... Let us discard all these things and unite as one people throughout this land, until we shall once more stand up declaring that all men are created equal."
From the same Lincoln speech in response to Stephen Douglas: "So I say in relation to the principle that all men are created equal, let it be as nearly reached as we can." (1/2)
Sen. Kelly: Then can you explain Hegseth who attacked you for saying servicemembers should only follow lawful orders? I don't believe in knee-jerk support for veterans or any group, because we clearly have a MAGA jerk running & ruining the Defense Department.
Let's get faux-moderate Republican Mike Lawler out of Congress. Consider a contribution to Cait Conley, who won the Democratic primary for New York's 17th Congressional district. caitconley.com
Surprised that Fox and other fake news aren't claiming George Soros & his son Alex are paying people to stay away!
Don't let William Barr give the rule of law the finger. Contact your Senators to vote a Hell No on Todd Blanche. Now I know where the expression: "Lowering the Barr" comes from.
The $10 mil. of cypto and AIPAC money bought him a lot of visibility. He capitalized on the fact other votes were spread across 23 competitors - he is only at 32%. If candidates see they're getting swamped by PACs; they need to coalesce around a candidate to block them - like Harry Dunn.
Rachel Maddow last night reminded us: "The only battles you lose are the ones you don't fight." She had a segment on ABC you can access on the MS NOW site. Brendan Carr head of the FCC wants to shut down shows - ABC is enlisting viewers to put in a public comment to demonstrate opposition.
Imagine if Ruth Messinger had won the 1997 NYC mayoral election instead of Giuliani.
Doesn't the person in the MAGA hat know that Republicans want to take away their right to vote?
