Elon is dumping mountains of money into the midterms to help Republicans. Spoiler: it isn’t to make life better for regular people — It’s to enrich himself, spread data centers, get government contracts, etc… he does not care about you. www.instagram.com/p/DeaJjWxl0H...

"In February 2024, Blanche & his partner Emil Bove — now Judge Bove — insisted that 'a fair trial cannot be conducted this year.' And yet, 22 days before the midterms, with early voting already underway in MN, Blanche’s DOJ searched a candidate’s home over paperwork a dead man filed 3 decades ago."

Rep. Ilhan Omar has been targeted again and again by President Trump, VP Vance and their political allies. Now, her home has been raided by Trump’s DHS, as part of an investigation of immigration paperwork filled out by her father when Omar was a child. Will this hurt her reelection bid? No way.

The other thing is--DOJ is denaturalizing people who were committing or had committed crimes they didn't disclose in their naturalization papers. On those terms, Ghislaine Maxwell should be denaturalized as well (and so deported to the UK where she can be prosecuted anew if Trump releases her).

Let's stay clear: Elon didn't break immigration law when he first came to this country. He came on F-1 status as a transfer student. The law-breaking was when he failed to graduate from his undergraduate program and didn't leave the US. Let us be clear that the issue was Elon's academic struggles.

Zelenskyy: "It is important that the world does not stay silent about this. And it is important that the United States really see what is happening and who is responsible for this war continuing."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зелен... * @Zelensky. • 2h S ...
A Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv. Once again, no early warning from our partners. The main target was energy infrastructure, specifically CHPP-
4. Unfortunately, it was hit. A residential building was also damaged, and rescuers are currently putting out a fire there. Our systems detected these missiles only when they were already virtually on approach to Kyiv. CHPP-4 is one of Kyiv's key energy facilities.
According to our intelligence, the Russians are preparing further ballistic missile launches. The facts show that the Russians do not consider themselves bound by what the President of the United States said. Ukraine supported an energy ceasefire. Russia is targeting yet another power plant and the lives of our people.And this is absolutely unjust: when they are destroying our energy infrastructure, and Ukraine is not even receiving early warnings about ballistic missile launches. It is important that the world does not stay silent about this. And it is important that the United States really see what is happening and who is responsible for this war continuing.
Please stay safe tonight and tomorrow. We are working to replenish our air defenses with anti-ballistic missiles.
