Seems like when they want to get rid of someone in the Executive branch (mostly women) the knives come out. Probably the same for men, but there aren't as many leaks or they don't reach a critical mass. However, both Hegseth and Waltz had a lot out there, but Hegseth makes enemies daily.

TEXT:

One of the memes, sent by Julia Henke, a member of Armstrong's editorial staff at Polis Media, showed a photo of Black children excited over cotton candy alongside the caption "You mean I don't have to pick it and I can eat it?!"

Henke also shared an image of Hitler's face pasted over a black-and-white concentration camp photo, with a made-up quote reading "You can't hate Jews when there is no Jews." She followed up with another Hitler image captioned "You can't be racist if there is no other race."

According to the report, Henke once said she hoped to someday land a "federal judge position."

Speaking of live-streaming executions… There were white people in America, particularly from the 1880s through the 1930s, who enjoyed watching Black people being lynched. They brought their families, took photos & collected pieces of the victims’ clothing as souvenirs. [1935 — Fort Lauderdale]

Josh Turek vs. Elon Musk.
Working-Class Underdog vs. World’s Richest Man. 🥊💥🥊

Who’s your money on?

For context: Elon Musk is unleashing a firehose of cash to boost vulnerable Republicans in the battle for the Senate majority, including my MAGA opponent here in Iowa.

Why’s he so focused on this race in particular, you ask?

Well, I’m what MAGA billionaires like Musk fear most:

A candidate who’s not a millionaire and isn’t trying to become one.
A leader with a well-calibrated moral compass and strength of character.
A senator who can’t be bought.
Basically, an honest and up-sitting public servant.
