I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped a Trump+9 seat in the New Hampshire House, per reporter Kevin Landrigan.

Republicans outspent Dems by a considerable margin.

This is now the 10th special election flip for Ds in Trump's second term, versus zero for the GOP. sos.tn.gov/elections/20...

It's not looking good!

Dems have 4 years to start building more housing in blue states and help turn this around.

Live Nation settles US antitrust case Live ​Nation Entertainment ‌has ​reached ​a proposed ⁠settlement ​with ​the U.S. Justice ​Department, ​according to ‌a ⁠court hearing ​on ​Monday.

Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.

The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.

But Trump just let them settle out of court.

British Columbia is switching their clocks for the last time this Sunday.

There's a lot going on in the world right now, but there is NO reason to not make daylight saving time permanent.

Congress should pass my bill to finally lock the clock.

Wow: It appears Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) will not run for reelection.

This comes just days after Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) also announced he will not seek reelection.

High-speed visual of gamblers being loudly wrong until they get punched in the face by reality. Stop using betting markets as reportable "data." It’s worthless.

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

A tweet from Eleanor Klibanoff saying, "The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily BLOCKED a Dallas judge’s order to keep the polls open til 9, ordering the county to separate out votes from people who were not in line at 7pm. 

Not a final ruling, but will create chaos in getting results from Dallas County"

Wow. If any races in Dallas County are super tight, this will be a huge legal fight as thousands of votes hang in purgatory.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

War is a terrible and disgusting thing. Waging it by choice rather than by absolute last resort is reprehensible.

What did Trump officials tell the Netflix CEO today at the White House?

Looks like crony capitalism with the President corrupting the merger process in favor of the billionaire Ellison family.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Netflix has dropped out of the Warner Bros. Discovery bidding, clearing the way for Trump-aligned David Ellison’s Paramount to move forward.

If the deal goes through, Ellison could take control of CNN, HBO, and much more, amid deep ties between the Ellisons and the Trump White House.

Netflix ditches deal for Warner Bros. Discovery after Paramount’s offer is deemed superior Netflix is ditching a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery's studio and streaming assets after the WBD board deemed a revised bid by Paramount to be superior.

This really feels like an Orban/Erdogan situation in which the aspiring dictator is making sure his friendly oligarchs control as much media as possible

Stevens also seemed generally impressed with the staff during the visit and their treatment of detainees. 

“Of note, there is female leadership here, and there are women who walked with us today and explained, on the intake process, how important it is to treat people with humanity,” Stevens said. “And that obviously really stuck out to me, because some of the things that we are witnessing before our eyes, in our neighborhoods, in our streets, is really a lack of humanity.”

Both congresswomen did note, however, that at least one individual who they spoke to expressed a fear of punishment or retribution for sharing his concerns about the facility — though they attempted to speak with him privately, they were denied that opportunity. Stevens noted that she plans to remain in touch with that person’s family in Macomb County to ensure he is not punished for speaking with the congresswomen. 

“He was kept for several weeks in what everyone there refers to as ‘the hole,’ which is similar to a solitary confinement,” Scholten said of the same detainee. “He spoke of being kept in a freezing room where he couldn’t feel his toes and having his food just thrown into his cell. So these are things that we really need to take seriously.”

How is this even possible? Rep. Haley Stevens, who is running for #MISen, "seemed generally impressed with the staff" at an ICE detention facility, per the @michiganadvance.com.

At the same event, Rep. Hillary Scholten spoke of a man "being kept in a freezing room where he couldn’t feel his toes."

Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.

But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.

These are not serious people.

Today’s shocking data confirms our housing crisis is getting worse while the Trump Administration refuses to act.

Prices are high, home sales are down. The end result? Fewer people can buy homes.
