Slotkin has been such a disappointment and Stevens is looking to top her before she's even elected.
Get in, there’s a new secret political influence campaign paying people to post. This time, a network targeting people in Michigan. First paid to post about how hard it is to afford groceries and gas, the accounts have gone hard in recent days, supporting Haley Stevens. www.ms.now/news/haley-s...

I bet they'll have a good laugh about this at the White House Stenographers Dinner.

A 51-49 Dem Senate is one in which, for example, many Trump nominees never even make it out of committee, making it irrelevant which way Fetterman or Platner or whomever would vote on the floor.
Nah sorry guys, it’s not a close call. Platner is 100 times better than Collins. The reason why is that any Democrat will vote for a million little things that no Republican will vote for. Plus, control of the committees, etc., hinge on who controls the chamber.

If you're over here it is probably because you earnestly and sincerely offended by stuff over on Twitter, and what unites the actually relevant and important cliques of journalists, activists, pundits, etc on the Left, Right, and Center is that they would never, ever admit to that.
A lot of people collaborated with the OG Nazis as well. Mr. Klion should reflect upon how such people were remembered by history.
Literally Zohran and AOC and Bernie all still use “the Nazi site” which makes the tarring of everyone who does as essentially Nazis seem increasingly farcical. It is, unfortunately, still the commons. I’m not happy a Nazi owns the commons either but Bluesky has singularly failed to be an alternative

Counterpoint: Democrats want ICE razed more thoroughly than Carthage in 146 BC, the ideological territory in which it operates salted so thoroughly it never grows again, and every single one of these goons in front of a judge to face justice for their crimes.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE: End the roving patrols and racial profiling. Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police. Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks! www.reddit.com/r/confession...

Breyer: But wouldn't that then always be the case? If the civilian law enforcement tells you we want military force just in case something happens? Sherman: Absolutely, your honor...and we had plenty of capacity to do that. Breyer: Ok, I think that answers my question
