These people are the liars we all know them to be.
BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal government have telling a state not to certify?

Byron Donalds and his wife are crooked charter school scammers who ripped off kids, and he wants to be Governor so he can keep shoveling money into his wife's offshore bank accounts. David is more polite than I am, but there you go.
New reporting shows that state-funded charter schools have paid more than $30 million to private companies tied to Byron Donalds' family. I'm calling on him to divest. tampabay.com/news/florida-po…

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Major revelation here from @Timodc on the Mike and Kristi Rogers scandal. We reported that she was Paul Bremer’s press aid in Iraq and that he traveled there frequently as a married member of Congress. He divorced his first wife in 2007 and married Kristi in 2010. Rogers joined the Intel committee in 2005. In 2006, Kristi launched the U.S. subsidiary of Aegis, a defense contractor, which quickly started getting massive contracts. Tim Miller adds a key detail: Kristi Clemens was Rogers’ finance director for his 2000 campaign. So they knew each other this entire time. Rogers and his wife threatened to sue us over our first story. We stand by our reporting.

Most of what defines the Trump era isn’t political at all. This isn’t left vs. right or Democrat vs. Republican. It’s decent vs. cruel. It’s honest vs. corrupt. It’s good vs. evil. And people like him are simply bad human beings.
Trump: Amy Acton's mother said horrible things about Amy Acton and I don't know why you're not allowed to broadcast it. That one ad should really win. Q: What about what the daughter said about the mother? Trump: I don’t know what she said. Q: That the mother remained with the stepfather who sexually abused her. Trump: When did she make that statement? Recently? Q: Years ago. Trump: I have no idea. All I know is, Amy Acton's mother said horrible things about Amy Acton. She’s fair game.

“The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account. What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man”

Ramaswamy is an evil person and acts as such. Vote accordingly Ohio!!!
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Trump’s oil deal with Venezuela was negotiated in secret. Now we know why. The contract just leaked, and it doesn’t say what Trump says it says.  What it does say is that we bought 35 percent of a company for a penny a share. The company is run by Alejandro Betancourt, a Venezuelan businessman who’s been investigated for money laundering in Switzerland, Spain, and the United States. DOJ officials reportedly asked foreign governments to close those investigations and let him travel. The parent company is registered through a Barbados shell, so nobody can see who the other owners are. Any dispute goes to a court in Texas. One person involved said it was built to insulate the deal from future administrations. The company pumps about 200,000 barrels a day. America burns through that in 15 minutes. If this were a good deal, they wouldn’t have had to hide it. I break it all down in today’s show (link in reply).

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway. To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back. Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

Trump admits that Russia is helping Iran to kill and maim American troops. But just a “very little.” This is a grotesque betrayal of US forces on the battlefield in this war—and their families. The war that Trump launched. No American Commander-in-Chief has sunk so low.
Trump: My decision on Russia is a very simple one. I don't want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table. Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing. Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States. Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World. Zelenskyy doesn't care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn't want to end this war, and probably never did. He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead. I WANT THIS WAR END!

They are too scared to have the REAL record out in the open, especially in a debate format.
Imagine if we had this debate on a stage instead of X, and the GOP had their actual candidate engaged rather than the House Speaker stand-in.

Either this is true, which would be a terrible sign that the President is not in control of his own Pentagon, or it's false, in which case the President is lying about a crucial national security issue for some reason.
Q: If it wasn't you, then who gave the order for Starlink to go down in Ukraine? TRUMP: I don't know

TELEGRAPH: Trump & Musk conspired to throttle Starlink and make Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian attacks — then Musk tried to blame only Trump. Putin wins again, as usual. Russia was never a hoax. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

On Tues, Trump was asked directly whether we had cut off intelligence sharing with Ukraine. He said no. Now we learn that yes, his White House cut off access to critical satellite services to Ukraine. How many times do we have to learn this lesson? Trump’s word means nothing.
NEW: The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter.

Andrews: She’s been told to call me Bernie Ocasio Mamdani. That’s in her script. But the truth is my name is Annie Andrews. There should not be any confusion about that because unlike my opponent I have not changed my name recently

Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. People are concerned. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.
