1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

If you didn't grow up during the Cold War & the Cuban Missile Crisis, or practice bomb drills in school in case Russia attacked us, you can't really understand the slap in the face that Trump's embrace of Putin is to those of us who did. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Mike Collins runs on “tough on crime.” His convoy captains include Michael Boggus, state director of a group founded by Klan leader Chester Doles, and a man who admitted sexual battery of a child. Collins’ campaign says it was unaware. Nobody vetted 800 volunteers? #momsky#sheshed #momthevote

OSSOFF: At a rally, the president egged on supporters who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing about this White House, it's their tireless commitments to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking.

After railing against socialism giveaways from government, and calling socialism the new communism, Trump wants to give everyone $5,000 for doing nothing -- just give it away as a bribe for GOP votes.

A president conditioning a $5,000 payment on his own party winning Congress is buying an election result out loud, on camera, and calling it a dividend to make it sound legitimate. Nobody gets to purchase your vote with your own tax dollars. #CorruptTrumpRegime

Billionaire tax cuts are a choice. Cutting healthcare is a choice. Gutting food stamps is a choice. Spending billions on an illegal war is a choice. Slapping tariffs on everything is a choice. A $5000 bribe barely offsets the pain people are feeling — and sure as hell won't erase it.

The 60 largest planned data centers could produce the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as 27 coal plants. Big Tech CEOs are polluting our planet and selling out our future to line their own pockets. We need a data center moratorium — now.
