The White House is bragging about reducing immigration (including refugees) from Muslim-majority countries to near 0. The U.S. is a nation of 340 million or so people. It was letting in just 18,000 people or less per month from these same countries prior to Jan 2025. Obvious anti-Muslim bigotry.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Dear Dog, the condescension and arrogance oozing off Josh Hawely at the Jack Smith hearing is so off-putting. Is it a hearing if the GOP use their time to yell lies and unfounded accusations at him without letting him respond? They're just hunting him for perjury. This is super gross. Embarrassing.

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

Four ways to subvert an election: 1. Disqualify citizens before they vote 2. Stop qualified voters from casting the ballot 3. Stop cast votes from being counted 4.

[September 29th, 1946] The international military tribunal in Nuremberg convicted 22 Nazi leaders of conspiracy and aggressive war. The SS, Gestapo, and SD were declared criminal organizations. Many leaders now face imprisonment or death. This judgment marks a historic precedent against war crimes.

Jack Smith: Donald Trump preyed on party loyalty and fear. One of the reasons he [failed] is bc Republicans stood up. I personally find it hard to understand how our investigation could be viewed as partisan when our strongest witnesses were Republicans. [Names Rusty Bowers and Mike Pence.]

Talking about my struggles with being overweight still makes me uncomfortable, since weight can carry moral judgment in ways that other health challenges don't. But that fear stops too many struggling from getting treatment that could extend their lives.

Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.

Friends. Today was a great day in terms of playing soccer, giving a kicking lesson, and doing a campaign event with Robert Garcia, but I have to tell you the cherry on top was seeing this Republican text ad whimpering about our campaign’s efforts to shine a light on my extremist opponent.
An attack ad from the Orange County Republicans against me featuring a whimpering plea to stop highlighting how my opponent has hung out with white nationalists and posted anti-Semitic content to YouTube, including a bonus AI picture of me!

To flip the Senate, Democrats need to pick up 4 seats. 5 if you count the Fetterman problem. This can’t be emphasized enough: Michigan is a must-protect seat. Lose it, and we’d need to flip another seat just to make up the loss.
