So @HaleyforMI didn’t feel welcome at a political event, so now she doesn’t care if Democrats win the Senate. She’s against “hate” while supporting one of the most hateful campaigns in memory. She endorsed then unendorsed then endorsed then unendorsed her former rival, who she promised to unite behind, after endlessly repeating (correctly!) that Mike Rogers MUST be defeated. What an incoherent disgrace. Hope this anger drives people to do whatever they can to help @AbdulElSayed win.

For all the safety discourse, it is shocking how mainstream American discourse ignores how unsafe this racist garbage makes it for Muslim Americans.
Sen. @tedcruz (R-TX) says that if U.S. Sen. candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) is elected into the Senate and is placed in the Senate Intelligence Committee, "there is a very real risk that Americans will die as a result."
What a nightmare @TD_Canada is turning out to be. I went into a branch to pay off the balance of a car loan in full using a valid cheque. I asked for all parts of the cheque to be verified by the teller. It did not go through and I was never notified. /1
Then I end up on hold with @TD_Canada for almost an hour. When I get through to the relevant person I’m told my cheque was bounced but no explanation could be given. There was a refusal to freeze the loan interest while this happened. I have no idea now how to fix this. /2

🇺🇸 Pete Hegseth just got absolutely humiliated by Senator Tammy Duckworth!
Senator Tammy Duckworth, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who lost both legs while serving in Iraq, challenged Hegseth:
"I'm glad you brought that up. Can you name a single country that belongs to ASEAN and explain what agreement we have with it? And, by the way, how many countries are in ASEAN? Frankly, I'm not sure you even know who our allies are."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:
"Well, I can't give you the exact number, but I certainly know our allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia..."
Senator Duckworth:
"None of the countries you just mentioned are members of ASEAN. I suggest you do your homework before engaging in these discussions."
And this is the kind of clueless bullshit running the Pentagon. Absolutely unbelievable.

No it’s not a “tough situation” or a messy family squabble. It’s a little girl who was raped by her stepfather and abandoned by her mother. Literally anyone with a scrap of decency would be horrified.

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad?
Trump: No. I don't care

“You’re a horrible little reporter, aren’t you?”
If any previous president had said that to a reporter at the White House, a female reporter in particular, it would have been a multi-day scandal.
But we as a country and media have normalized this boorish, abusive misogynist.
YIKES 😳 Trump snaps at a reporter asking him about why he's dismissing sexual abuse allegations 👇
WOMAN REPORTER: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

"I believe." What the hell does that mean? You got proof? This is Islamophobic smearing.
I believe Abdul El-Sayed is Muslim Brotherhood.
If he were to win, Chuck Schumer could place him on the Senate Intelligence Committee. He would have access to the very highest level of classified materials.
There would be an unacceptably high risk that the lives of American servicemen and women would be endangered, because there’s every reason to believe El-Sayed would share that classified information with Muslim Brotherhood terrorists.
Wow. Is there a floor?
😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event
Here's a supercut:

Mike Rogers was just caught on tape talking about how he wanted to make sure that there were retired cops who could intimidate voters in the city of Detroit.
We deserve the right to vote. People have fought and died for that right. No more election deniers.

To be clear: the Republican guest said Abdul El-Sayed goes to bed in "Bin Laden's jersey" and CNN host Dana Bash said nothing, not a word of condemnation of her Republican guest - only the Democratic guest Guy Cecil pushed back, on his own.
At the end of the segment, Bash said she "appreciated" the Republican guest coming on. Is it because she shares his bigoted view of El-Sayed being a Bin Laden sympathizer?
Either way, it's insane how normalized the Islamophobia has become on mainstream cable news.
CNN's ‘Inside Politics’ panel on Wednesday blew up when former NRSC director Jason Theilman echoed Louisiana GOP Senator John Kennedy, saying that when El-Sayed “goes to bed at night, it looks like he’s sleeping in Bin Laden’s jersey,” which was followed by brief outrage from Dana Bash and former DSCC director Guy Cecil.
At the end of the interview, Bash thanked Cecil for freaking out and telling the Republican, “you’ll apologize later,” and said, “I think it was important what you said.”

I had to read this twice to make sure of a cringeworthy fact; this Washington Post story on the el-Sayed exchange w “Tommy“ does not even mention that Tommy is a paid right wing political operative, a staffer for Josh Hawley. Journalistic malpractice.

For the second straight election, Trump is lying that schools in multiple states send kids off for gender surgery without their parents' knowledge.
For the second straight election, his team can't find a single example of that having ever happened in any state.

CNN pay a contributor who puts the word Islamophobia in scare quotes. I’m trying to imagine CNN paying a contributor who attacked a Jewish candidate while dismissing antisemitism in scare quotes.
I can’t.
This is how liberal media normalizes rightwing Islamophobia. Sadly.
Whether bad* or not, he is operating on an assumption that if it was asked of a Jewish person - are you Zionist and do you disavow Zionism? - would be rightly viewed as horrifying.
*While not bad, he is a political staffer, not a typical citizen.
The gaslighting here by @AbdulElSayed is out of this world. He's asked a simple question: whether he disavows the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a terrorist organization. He says yes, then spends three minutes accusing the questioner of anti Muslim prejudice. If you're dumb, like the folks mindlessly cheering on El-Sayed, you'd think the questioner is the bad guy based on this interaction.
