LINCOLN wishes he had these numbers. WASHINGTON couldn't have them. To have numbers like these, you have to be a VERY STABLE GENIUS who KNOWS MORE ABOUT BUSINESS AND THE ECONOMY THAN ANYONE. ALSO, MY PENIS is VERY LARGE, not MUSHROOM-SHAPED and MY FATHER LOVED ME AND KNEW I WAS GREAT.

Mike Rogers' campaign is such an insult to the intelligence. Making football an issue? Running blatantly dishonest claims that he'll work to reduce prescription-drug prices? And now it turns out claims about being a union assembly-line worker are lies? He obviously thinks Michigan voters are fools.

Here in Michigan, we have long led the fight to protect the right to vote, and while federal interference in state-run elections will likely continue, I am confident we will succeed in protecting that right from whatever comes next.

I've said for years the online left isn't really leftist in the traditional sense of the concept, bc most have little or no structural theory of society, economy, or politics. It's all about personalities, either political figures, or the type of people they disliked in high school & college.../1

She actually HAD a legitimate hypocrisy attack on Abdul: His wife doesn't accept ANY insurance INCLUDING Medicare or Medicaid (because the reimbursement rates are too low) which *is* a fair attack against someone heavily pushing M4A. But she still managed to fuck it up. Amazing.

This is thoroughly irresponsible. As U. S. Senate nominee, Abdul El-Sayed should be in touch with every Dem U. S. House nominee and sitting member in Michigan, regardless of whether or not they endorsed him. He is shaping up to be a disaster of a candidate. vinnews.com/2026/08/25/m...

Hear me out. What if instead of selling food below cost to all comers at taxpayer expense, then using more taxpayer dollars to subsidize private companies that can't compete, we had a program targeting nutritional assistance just to the people who needed it, as a sort of supplement?

Looking through this account's replies, either Scott Forgerelli (interesting last name) is one huge Tom Nichols fanboy, or a sock puppet for @radiofreetom.bsky.social himself.

You would lose. I spent 14 years working full-time and more while earning my undergraduate degree. - Also, I suspect Tom Nichols, like Bill O'Reilly & AOC, is exaggerating the modesty of his personal circumstances. There are several things in his biography that are quite peculiar given his claims.

R. S. Martin @rsmwriter.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
To @lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social, who can dish it out but can't take it. - Nichols has been marinating in elite culture since he's been an adult. BostonU, Columbia &Georgetown for his degrees, teaching at Dartmouth, Harvard, et al. He knows nothing of public universities or non-traditional students.
