for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

The raid on Rep. Omar is a FIVE ALARM FIRE. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to go after an opposition leader and escalate his viciously racist campaign against Somali Americans. We stand with Ilhan.

If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

Actor Keegan Allen was beaten & robbed at gunpoint in West Hollywood, then immediately took to social to blame Karen Bass. I’m sorry this happened to him, but W. Hollywood is its own city, patrolled by the LA County Sheriff’s Department. Karen Bass isn’t the mayor of WeHo. Wrong city. Wrong mayor.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.
