Wreck has math saying @StephenM is more popular than ... ANYONE. Everyone hates Stephen.
He’s on the “80” side of an 80-20 issue. My math says he’s more popular than you are.

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.

Weird how Cam found all the English speakers.
🚨🚨 I went UNDERCOVER on MUSLIM DATING APPS in Dearborn Michigan. Men told me that America is an evil country, expressed desire to fight in Lebanon against Israel, and even volunteered for Jihad. Abdul El-Sayed wants to give these folks your nation.

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.
Detroit has the least talented and most biased reporters of any major city in the country. Case in point

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. -DKP🇺🇸

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.
We are activating the full tools of justice to bring accountability to those stealing from these programs and the American taxpayer.

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.
If only someone had created an easily accessible digital tool to confirm the citizenship of registered voters…

Child protective services should remove @JDVance's children from him. He is endorsing child rape.
Vance: "And now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because, guess what? Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar."

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.
WOW - Abdul’s press handler “Roxie” awkwardly tries to interject and block a question about Abdul’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. This campaign is unraveling.

Fresh off Trump capitulating to Putin, the Russian propaganda starts.
It appears the Russian Storm-1516 narrative laundering campaign has finally come for the U.S. midterms. Yesterday they placed a false story on X saying James Talarico sexually assaulted one of his students in 2012. This follows the Russian playbook. Let me show you how. 1/5

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?
Here in Tennessee, if you rape or molest our babies, you should be given the death penalty.

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…
