holy shit
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politi…

There are now over 10,000 COMMENTS on this post.
Take a wild guess how many are from MAGA voters calling me “evil,” “disturbed,” and “unpatriotic” for supporting the teaching of ARABIC NUMERALS to American children.
Yes, folks. Numbers. The same numbers their kids learn in kindergarten.
The outrage is absolutely spectacular.
Imagine being so blinded by your prejudice that you accidentally declare war on basic arithmetic.
They saw the word “Arabic,” and apparently every brain cell responsible for critical thinking clocked out for the day.
And the best part? They're still arguing in the comments.

I'm less impressed by how @ossoff speaks (though he's terrific at that too) and more impressed by what he says.
This 2-minute clip is the best explanation of Trump corruption that I've ever heard. His explanation of the Russian dirty deals is so accurate and so clear. He knows the facts cold. And he explains them better than I can.

Dear @WhiteHouse: Stop attacking democracy. You disrespect the American people by saying they voted in a crooked election.
If you have evidence of alleged voter fraud, then have your puppet @AGToddBlanche try to prosecute.
Otherwise take your authoritarian shit and shove it.

NEW: Mamdani’s message to Democrats after their election victories: lower living costs, “build, not bomb,” and put working people first. “It is not enough for us as Democrats to win power.
We have to use that power to deliver change that Americans can feel in their wallets.” Affordable housing.
Childcare. Results people can feel. That’s the mandate.

Republicans will spend time and treasure, likely years and millions of dollars, for consultants and experts and pundits to find out what went wrong and how this happened. Save your money and don’t waste your time. The answer came 10 years ago by a Senator from South Carolina who didn’t live to see his prophetic words come to pass. “If we nominate Donald Trump we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it.” Republicans blew up their party, their values, their dignity and decency for a man who wasn’t even a Republican. Unilateral tariffs on our allies by executive orders isn’t conservative. Siding with Vladimir Putin’s murderous war in Ukraine isn’t conservative. Accepting a bribe from a foreign country in the form of an airplane that costs hundreds of millions of dollars isn’t conservative. Turning untrained thugs in masks loose in our communities to murder American citizens in cold blood isn’t conservative. Threatening to invade and conquer a sovereign country, an ally, isn’t conservative. Pardoning people who assaulted law enforcement officers isn’t conservative. The list is too long and too exhausting to contemplate. Republican law makers lit themselves on fire for a thrice married, sociopathic, mentally unstable reality tv personality who bragged about acing a test to check for dementia and spoke about the asses of male candidates for the US Senate. There was a time when I believed we should welcome any of them who finally spoke up back into polite society. But that ship has sailed. These people should live in shame for the rest of their days, shunned and repudiated in history books, never to hold a position that requires the public trust ever again.

The MAGA party took 10 years from you. Now is not the time to meet them halfway.

Zohran Mamdani is on fire. 🔥
🇺🇸JD Vance at 6:00 PM: We lost due to the Iran war which causes household inflation for Americans
🇺🇸Zohran at 7:00 PM: "Bro you are VP of USA, not a random Twitter troll. You can't post like it's someone else's war. You started it, You can end it. Stop tweeting and crying, start acting."
Brutally Cooked 👏

For the first time in US history, a gay man, a Black woman, a Muslim, Native American woman, Palestinian, and Latina have won their respective midterm elections.

America Has Spoken. And Trump Has Lost. Again.
Well, there we have it. Donald Trump, a man who has spent his entire life confusing noise with popularity, has once again discovered that shouting louder does not make you a winner.
This election was about him. His chaos. His corruption. His spectacular talent for taking a functioning country and treating it like a demolition project.
He has attacked American institutions, bullied America’s allies, undermined democracy, turned politics into a travelling circus and made the United States look increasingly like a country being governed from the comments section of a particularly unpleasant website.
And Americans have had enough.
They do not stand with Putin’s Russia. They stand with Ukraine. They do not want another disastrous war with Iran. They do not want cruelty, intimidation and masked men terrorising their streets. They do not want their president treating the Constitution like an irritating parking regulation.
They want their country back.
And here is the delicious part. Trump made this election a referendum on himself. His enormous ego demanded it. And the voters delivered their verdict.
You lost, Donald. Again.
Thank you, America. For remembering who you are. For standing up to the bullies. And, most importantly, for finally grabbing the steering wheel before the lunatic drove the entire bloody country into a ditch.

Thank you, Donald, for all of your hard work (i.e., incompetence, corruption, treason, and betrayal of the American people) in ensuring Democrats win in a way that will make your life miserable for the next two years--and make our lives better.

It truly is The Big Lie that corporate tax cuts benefit workers. They benefit corporate executives and shareholders. The Big Lie has worked to persuade too many working people to vote against their own self-interest. Which is exactly why it was cynically created.
