There are serious issues with our media. A 2023 Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 58% of American adults had never even heard of the CHIPS and Science Act, as it was barely a blip on the major outlets - they were all too busy hand-waving about Trump. #DemVoice1

Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles’ daughter posts a pic at a training camp with a pro-Russian militia in Bosnia that specializes in destabilization… totally normal stuff! “The photo raises Q’s about White House links to the pro-Russian politician”🤔 www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-...

House GOP leaders sent members home early rather than risk a vote on the rest of the Epstein files Survivors are still waiting, & 88% of likely voters want candidates who will release them @milestaylor.bsky.social has a message for men ahead of Nov 3👇 -TN

A message to men: if you really believe in supporting women, prove it on Nov. 3.
One fact became clear at our press conference with Epstein Survivors: this election is about more than just Donald Trump.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault
Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

When historians look back on Trump's foreign policy in a century, I bet these are their verdict on his most famous policies: The support of Russia--the most evil. The pillaging of Venezuela--the most corrupt. The decision to go to war with Iran--the most incompetent.
