Fox News keeps trying to make Michigan congressional candidate Abdul El-Sayed sound scary, but everything he says just keeps making sense.

She’s weak. Lacking in courage. Unable either to challenge Trump or deliver for Maine. Time for a change.

By which, I mean the White House (Trump) traitors who ordered that Ukraine be left defenseless are beneath contempt. They are horrible people who are bought and paid for by Putin and his KGB allies. They should be exposed and condemned by anyone left in government with a conscience.

So he solicited a bribe, which is not only a federal felony but specifically enumerated as an impeachable offense in the United States Constitution? Got it. The Constitution is just toilet paper now.

I used to see the Guardsman patrolling this area (14th St NW) from the beginning of their deployment. I never saw misbehavior-- but I also never saw them doing anything useful. Key question: ♦️Were they ORDERED to patrol near a drop-box? If so: Sure seems like deliberate electoral interference.

There is no end to Trump’s corruption. Only his passing will end it. He will grift until the day he dies. It’s who he is. We must not wait for that day. We must vote the Gop out of power, investigate Trump and all his corrupt allies, and elect people of good character to replace them.

No, Washington Post. This does not "APPEAR TO BE the type of action that law enforcement officials have typically avoided so close to an election in the past." It IS that. And you can say so. What it "appears to be" is: ♦️An illegal and unconstitutional abuse of the DOJ against a political foe.

Sen @vanhollen.senate.gov-- who isn't even a Member of the House-- has issued a far stronger, far more appropriate statement on Trump's illegal and unconstitutional raid on @repilhan.bsky.social than the hopefully-next Speaker of the House. Do better, Hakeem. Do better, Dems. Stand up.

"Deeply disturbing"? "Raises serious questions?" That's pretty weak, Hakeem. Sure you're not "concerned"? Maybe considering a sternly-worded letter? ♦️If you won't stand up for a Member of your own Caucus, why should we believe you'll stand up for the rest of us?

Ukraine's new campaign of destroying Russia's data centers will prove devastating for Putin's economy and war machine if the White House is unable to prevent it. The chaos we're already seeing across Russia is only four days into the campaign and 3 facilities targeted.
