Wreck has math saying @StephenM is more popular than ... ANYONE.
Everyone hates Stephen.

Serbs for Trump, a political initiative whose main mission is to mobilize Serbian-American voters to support Trump and Republican candidates, refuses to disclose its funding or how it uses the funds.
So far this week, right wingers have proven that Amy Acton REALLY has succeeded in spite of a really nightmarish childhood, and Peggy Flanagan REALLY is super smart, in spite of economic challenges.
Which Democratic woman will right wingers prove is superior on Thursday?

The 100 year contract with Epstein pal Alejandro Betancourt to steal Venezuela's oil can only be litigated in Reed O'Connor's court. I don't expect the judge to live to 161, but that is truly insane.
Once again Trump says he capitulated to Russia out of fear Putin would do far more than they've already done in Iran. This is fear.
Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why aren’t you putting Russian sanctions—
Collins: But you said you didn’t give anything for his release
Trump: If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have him coming back.
Collins: So you did give something.
Trump: You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN.
Collins: You’re saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release?
Trump: You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low IQ person. You’re a dummy.

Funny thing is @MCmuckraker and I didn't actually get along back in the day. And to suggest that @CraigDMauger, @ChadLivengood, and @robertsnellnews are not among the best in the country is ridiculous.
Reminder: Trump was charged with conspiring to defraud the US.
Only, he victimized FAR FAR more people.
Ivan Odiaga was sentenced today to 38 months in prison and ordered to pay $1,052,378 in restitution for conspiring to defraud the United States.
Between 2017 and 2021, Odiaga and his mother prepared false tax returns filed with the IRS seeking more than $5 million in refunds that their clients were not entitled to receive.
At times, Odiaga and his mother also diverted portions of client tax refunds to themselves. From 2017 through 2021, they diverted more than $1.1 million in fraudulent tax refunds to bank accounts one or both of them controlled.
Great work to protect taxpayer dollars by @DOJFraudDiv, @USAO_NV, & @IRS_CI.
For the first 20 months of @FBIDirectorKash tenure he has DEFUNDED cyber investigations, sending experts to snatch grannies.
Under President Trump’s leadership, the FBI is going on OFFENSE against cyber criminals targeting the American people.
Through Operation Blackout - this FBI’s global scam center demolition campaign:
20+ scam compounds DEMOLISHED. $17 BILLION+ seized. 11,000 Americans protected from $675 MILLION in fraud.
Cybercriminals no longer have sanctuary no matter where they try to hide - we’re finding them and we’re getting them.

Every time a citizen gets deprived of their vote -- or even just harassed enough that they have to pay a poll tax -- that cancels out their vote.
And THUS FAR, as @MattFinnFNC knows but is lying about, the VAST MAJORITY Of people IDed this way are citizens.
Plus, Trump tried to cancel out 81M votes in 2020.
Every time a non-citizen votes, it essentially cancels out or dilutes the voice of a California voter. The Feds continue to insist they've provided CA with a list of 20k non-citizen registered voters. L.A. County Registrar calls the list 'unreliable.' Trump Admin says California can work with them & confirm the precise number of illegal voters on that list and then stop their vote.
Stop with the bullshit, @AAGMcDonald.
You are the pathetic handmaiden for Donald Trump's ENORMOUS fraud, a propaganda effort to distract from what matters.
BREAKING: You guys LITERALLY pulled cyber people and made them snatch grannies.
.@AGToddBlanche at @POTUS's roundtable on cybercrime: "Because of the magnitude of this issue, it demands a nationwide response. We have evolved from delegating these cases to single U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to leveraging our newly established cyber-enabled scam initiative, which is led by @DOJCrimDiv and deploys dozens of prosecutors across all 94 U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to continue driving prosecutions and helping victims."
If only DHS were not incompetent, thereby making the tool LESS ACCURATE than before they started.
Poor right wingers have become completely incompetent now that loyalty is valued more than basic competence.
Child protective services should remove @JDVance's children from him. He is endorsing child rape.
These trolls are so stupid.
@MattWhitlock: @MikeRogersForMI fromFL REFUSES to condemn the terrorists Trump pardoned on his first day on the job, or Trump's pardon for CZ, or the Nazi at DHS who wants to carry out ethnic cleansing, or @VivekGRamaswamy's pro child rape ad.
Mike is the terrorist sympathizer, obviously.
Fresh off Trump capitulating to Putin, the Russian propaganda starts.
You know, @AlexPfeiffer, given that @JDVance won't condemn a pro-child rape ad, he deserves far worse.
The worst thing about Twitter nowadays is people just put fake quotes in captions of videos. Other users don't assume the poster is a lying sack of shit, so they don't watch the video and think the caption is real. JD never said this and @saintjavelin is a piece of shit.
Say @VoteMarsha @MarshaBlackburn?
You will, of course, condemn @VivekGRamaswamy and his pro-child rape ad, correct?
If not, why not?

For the first time in @metrotimes history, we’re no longer seeking comment from a candidate’s campaign because of repeated lies and bigoted attacks. That candidate is Mike Rogers, whose campaign keeps targeting Abdul El-Sayed’s Muslim faith. metrotimes.com/news/mike-rog…
