God is with the Squad?
God doesn't give us more than we can handle. And sadly, @IlhanMN has been repeatedly tested.
But she has proven time & again to be one of God's strongest soldiers.
Her moral clarity is sharp, her brilliance undeniable, her heart pure, & her strength unrivaled.
She won't shrink in her service to MN & our country, & we won't shrink in our support of her, her family, & her staff.

Here was how CNN’s Jake Tapper covered the Justice Department indictment of Virginia Democrat State Senator Louise Lucas, which he had lambasted as another odious, politically motivated investigation by President Trump when her offices and homes were raided....
This time, he made sure to tell viewers that he found it “interesting” the charging documents were so strong, but she’s nonetheless “a Trump critic,” and it’s also “interesting” Lucas’s daughter is on the Virginia ballot in a local election
PBS News Hour gave a minute to the indictment of Virginia Democrat leader Louise Lucas on marijuana trafficking charges.

"Without providing evidence?"
El-Sayed literally signed a letter in 2012 in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. His campaign refuses to explain it.
His sister said his family was MB. His father in law, who is a founding member of ISNA -- an offshoot of the MB -- donated hundreds of thousands to his campaign. There is not a single anti-MB measure he supports.
He says about Islamic terrorists trying to murder Jewish kindergarteners, "Hurt people hurt people," and equates Dearborn-based terrorists trying to kill schoolkids with the IDF's targeted killing of Hezbollah members.
He was caught on tape during this campaign saying he wouldn't say anything about Ayatollah Khamenei's death because too many of his constituents were upset about it.
He campaigns with Hasan Piker, who says Hamas is better than Israel and speaks warmly of Hezbollah.
There is no more thoroughly sourced claim in politics than that El-Sayed is sympathetic to radical Islam and connected to Islamic extremists.

Becoming an echo of Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar is called "finding your voice"?
Farah Griffin goes to reminisce about essentially being psychologically tortured for a year as she fought through the audition process.
Executive producer Brian Teta says it was to weed out candidates that didn't fit:
FARAH GRIFFIN: So, I credit it to that and then I credit it to having an incredible team that I'm with. This show is an ensemble and you can't do it alone.
TETA: You also had to audition publicly and -
FARAH GRIFFIN: For a year!
TETA: For a year.
FARAH GRIFFIN: So brutal.
TETA: What was that experience like?
FARAH GRIFFIN: It was literally like - You wonder why I have imposter syndrome and like trauma.
HOSTIN: {Laughter]
FARAH GRIFFIN: Like, you would you would go on the show and you'd be like, ‘I really felt like I did a good job.’ And then the next day, they’d announce ‘and then your arch nemesis is guest hosting and auditioning for the same job.’
HOSTIN: [Laughing]
FARAH GRIFFIN: It was brutal.
HOSTIN: That was a long process.
FARAH GRIFFIN: But again, it's - You have to - You have to find your voice in that seat. And some really incredible women auditioned and I'm honored I was chosen.
[Applause]
TETA: You did a great job and what part of the process I think was, because in the past, people have sometimes been dropped in the seat without that. And I think the experience of making sure you can do the table over time, it's hard to do. It's - There's so many people that are really brilliant women, smart women, strong women, that can't do this. It's a specific skill and it's something that you have to have thick skin and a certain strength. I don't know. It's hard to do.

You have to giggle at the Spin Spoiling attempt here:
"So yeah, here is Abdul with AOC and Bernie, but he says he's a Capitalist!"
What next? "He campaigned with Hasan Piker, who said a mass-murdering communist dictator was a 'great leader,' but he says he's a Capitalist!"
Rogers said El-Sayed is “aligned with the Democrat Socialists of America."
El-Sayed has campaigned with prominent Democratic Socialists and also supports some of the same policies as the DSA. But he has repeatedly rejected the socialist label and calls himself a capitalist. buff.ly/cQhyX0L
"Rogers is cherry-picking"??
In a U.S. Senate debate in Michigan, Rogers said El-Sayed was “bought off by the Muslim Brotherhood, having donors to his campaign from Hamas that support Hezbollah.”
Rogers is cherry-picking donations and associations from El-Sayed supporters. buff.ly/wkcKMz1

The Elitist Media Evening News have been dragged, kicking and screaming, into coverage of the ongoing French riots over “education” and “affordability.” Their reluctant coverage leaves viewers with major gaps in understanding what is going on. Some of that is by design.
WATCH: @ABCWorldNews completely misrepresents the "she's a sister" viral French riot moment, using a cherry-picked snippet to frame it as a shop owner defending her business from looters.
TOM SOUFI-BURRIDGE: And tonight, the dramatic images of this woman defending her store, blocking the entrance as chaos reigns all around.
On the @PolitiFact en Espanol page, just checking on elected/appointed officials on the Truth-O-Meter, you get this year:
1/15 Mark Warner TRUE
8/6 Donald Trump FALSE
8/27 Byron Donalds FALSE
10/21 J.D. Vance FALSE

Is Lesley R. Stahl performing as a reporter here? Or is she editorializing to influence elections?
Rhetorical question.

It's notable that Omar has previously strongly denied any insinuations that her ex-husband was a sibling, including this response to Minnesota Public Radio in 2016:
"Insinuations that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is my brother are absurd and offensive."
Today, for whatever reason, she went with "not to my knowledge".
