I think El-Sayed will win over a lot of Stevens supporters if he hits Rogers as hard as he has Stevens. Personally several of his comments have felt borderline misogynistic, but if he can show the same mean streak toward Rogers and Trump. I would rather have that on my side instead of against.

How I will always remember Lindsay Graham: as the faux-angry face of the Republican Party in response to the genuine vulnerability of Christine Blasey Ford. The sympathy after her testimony was palpable everywhere. So Graham turned into this nasty harpy to save Kavanaugh's nom.

And Dems have been railed at and taunted about that choice for decades since. Bill Clinton is the reason why until recently we did drop scandalous candidates and sitting politicians so quickly.

As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates. First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

We always made bacon *wrapped* dates (stuffed w Brie) so reversing this seems oddly familiar to me! My dad also made dates stuffed with peanut butter and rolled in sugar, so we clearly loved a good stuffed date.

A Court that does not share a common factual world with the people it governs is untethered from democratic reality.

We must stress: The only violence is coming from CBP/ICE. They are rioting in the face of sustained nonviolent protests by thousands of Americans across the country. They are today’s Alabama State Troopers at the Selma bridge. They are Bull Connor’s police with firehoses in Birmingham.

Gentle reminder for the non-crazies: the Charlie Kirk memorial is this afternoon. Find something else to do besides doom-scrolling or watching TV. Go to a movie, go to an apple orchard or botanic garden or out for drinks with friends. Being here is going to be a shitshow.

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.
“They are a progressive city, and they don’t want the president’s help. That’s on them. It’s horrific that they don’t want President Trump’s help.”

“Chicago should be begging Donald Trump for help to keep Chicago safe,” Bondi added. “Yet, they aren’t so we’re going to go into a city who wants us there.”

Absolutely agree. Also windmills caused Trump problems at one of his golf courses once, and of course wind itself is one of his mortal enemies (that birds nest on his head is very delicate) so wind power needs to be eradicated and beaten down like all of his enemies.

NYT top story declares Epstein scandal already over and Trump victorious. Base more united even. Evidence: Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer, and JD Vance said so. And Elon Musk said he doesn’t like the WSJ. Not exactly neutral parties. It’s an editorial choice. Try to make it go away, not perpetuate it.

By tapping into other grievances, President Trump managed to turn one of the most fractious moments for his base into a unifying one.
