Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

Trump's legal vendetta's never end, but the courts never really sanction him or his attorneys. He's supposed to have billions, if he's going to f'up our legal system with bogus suits, maybe he (and the bogus suits who argue his cases,) should pay for the damages he's doing.

According to a new NYT investigation, at least 44 governors, 70 US senators, and 185 House members have faced violent threats over the past two years. Their staff and families as well. A key source of this danger is Donald Trump, as I documented earlier this year. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE shootings, assassinations, mass attacks, and other traumas all serve as ammo for the demagogue in chief.

This is their corrupt playbook: Use all the powers of the federal government to attack our leaders. Deploy an out of control, violent federal police force to invade our communities and kill and injure Minnesotans. Launch baseless and hateful attacks on the Somali community.

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

Trump wants a race war. Minnesotans won’t take the bait.

It matters that she's a member of Congress. This is an extreme escalation. He is attacking a member of the one body with the constitutional power to hold him accountable and check his crimes. And he's doing so trying to gin up a fake basis to strip her of her eligibility to be in Congress.

When a progressive or DSA member launches a primary campaign against a sitting House Democrat, Hakeem Jeffries and other leaders go nuclear to defend that sitting member. But what if Republicans threaten a sitting Democrat with arrest after raiding her home? Same vigor and intensity, I'm sure, no?

All right so Fetterman is definitely being told by Republican billionaires and Senators that he can win if he runs again as a Republican, so get ready for him to switch parties. (I think we can make that switch less likely if we make it publicly clear he has no chance of winning as a Republican.)

Meanwhile, Fetterman is still fundraising with an eye toward running again after the midterms, he said during an onstage interview
at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin last month. Political observers have debated
whether he will switch parties or become an independent. And while he has rejected those rumors, his campaign has collected donations from major GOP donors since last year, and new campaign solicitations have specifically targeted GOP voters as his poll numbers among Democrats have plummeted, including after his video introducing McCormick and complimenting Trump at the Republican
midterm convention in September.
