Imagine if Elon's $500 million had been spent on education or healthcare. Or the arts. Anything.

Trump asked the people to vote as if he were on the ballot. THEY DID. Thank you Americans from coast to coast.
This argument makes no sense; if a voter in Alaska wanted the incumbent R and was confused (despite the ballot identifying the Republican incumbent), they could vote for BOTH Dan Sullivans and the ranked choice voting would assign Dan J Sullivan's votes to Dan S Sullivan
Blanche: There is a scenario where the incumbent, Senator Sullivan, could lose but really he didn't lose. Because of ranked-based voting, it's clear that voters were confused. That's why you need to preserve the ballots because you need to look at the individual ballots potentially to see if there was voter confusion, if it's obvious from the ballot itself that the voter intended to vote for Senator Sullivan but was confused because of the fraud that's taken place there

Talarico and Hinojosa were laser-focused on anti-oligarch, anti-corruption populism, and they won America’s biggest red state after Corporate Dems had lost the state to Republicans for generations.
Nobody should ever again listen to Corporate Dems’ “electability” arguments.

Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families.
No more excuses.

"I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people.
AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism
The most dangerous thing is expanding antisemitism to include criticism of Israel"
- Abdul El-Sayed Michigan Senator
Absolutely Correct!

WOO-HOO @AbdulElSayed! What an incredible night. What an incredible win.
Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.
That’s what Abdul is bringing to the U.S. Senate.

Blaming Jews and Israel for all your financial woes is sad, pathetic, completely unoriginal and a massive self-delusion.
Claming we pay for Israeli healthcare is beyond absurd.
This ad is designed to incite hatred against Jews and Israelis by providing dissatisfied Americans with the oldest scapegoat in the book.
To quote Heinlein (from the Cat who Walks through Walls, 1985): "His brand of fire and brimstone and scapegoatism - Jews of course; no novelty- peaked at a time when unemployment also peaked and public debt and inflation got out of hand."

Israel First Mike Rogers’ career is cooked after this Abdul El Sayed ad. This is brilliant.
Trump doesn't care what YOU pay for gas because he and his big oil buddies are making a "freaking fortune."

This is ethnic cleansing.
#FreePalestine
Israeli soldiers forced Palestinian families from their homes in Hebron in the occupied West Bank overnight Friday, taking control of the properties, marking houses with X signs and hanging Israeli flags from balconies. Troops also blocked roads and closed a nearby checkpoint, restricting movement in the neighborhood as the military expanded its presence in the area.
The operation followed an attack Friday in which two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others before being shot dead by Israeli forces. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had threatened a major military offensive following the attack.

#BREAKING: Charles Blow: No one in all of media is dealing with this in the proper way. The Muslim Brotherhood is almost 100 years old. Do you know when the United States classified them as a terrorist group? Earlier this year. Donald Trump did it. There have been 10 presidents between when she [El-Sayed’s mom] supported them and now. Not a single one of them, Democrat or Republican, decided to deem the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group. Do you know how many terrorist attacks on American soil the Muslim Brotherhood is responsible for? Zero. But if we’re gonna say that children are responsible for their parents, Donald Trump’s dad was was arrested at a Klan rally in Queens in 1927. Are we saying that Donald Trump is responsible for his dad’s actions? 😳
The "Military Industrial Complex" was a term popularized by Republican President Eisenhower to describe the perverse connection between military contractors and Congress for the purpose of pushing wars and wasting money on military equipment.

In what time line does "Kid Rock" become a political commentator whose opinion matters? I guess because he was one of a handful of washed up entertainers who want Trump's favor?
Borelli: There are some real questions about this guy that deserve answering
Phillip: Trump said he was a jihadist.
Mercurio: The implication by Kid Rock that El-Sayed, because of his religion, is a terrorist. Let me tell you something. I'm a Roman catholic. I'm a terrorist because Timothy Mcveigh was a Roman Catholic? In fact, if we want to go there, I'm Italian. Guess what, Kid Rock. I'm in the mob?
Your "democracy" is seriously flawed when the government goes after people for revealing what the crimes committed by the government instead of holding the leaders accountable.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israel's military, Shin Bet and attorney general on Sunday to reveal the identities of soldiers and officers interviewed in the documentary "NAZA" and prosecute them for "serious information security offenses, criminal defamation and harm to Israel's diplomatic and security interests."
In his letter, Netanyahu wrote that "there is concern that those involved in the defamatory film committed serious criminal offenses by exposing highly classified information and creating a breach in the information security of a highly sensitive intelligence unit." | @jonathanlis1

Insane that Israel and its defenders in the west claimed they had the best combatant-to-civilian kill ratio ever and this is how they defined the ‘combatants’ or ‘terrorists’ that they killed in Gaza:
