Born in Detroit to Egyptian immigrant parents, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar with two doctorates who became Detroit's youngest-ever health director at age 30 before going on to teach epidemiology at Columbia University.
Calling him a "radical Islamist" makes you look stupid, not him.
Holy Cow!
Republican Florida Gubernatorial Candidate @ByronDonalds is currently under federal investigation for Sex Trafficking, and an indictment will be made in the near future, according to @j_fishback.
Why do Republicans love sex criminals so much?
If we actually lived under capitalism, rivals NBC and ABC would rush to amplify this story to crush CBS/Free Press.
But instead what we have is cronyism — with media giants working to suppress the Epstein story because they're all complicit.
He’s not a ‘counterterrorism expert’ - he’s with the Center for Security Policy, which is a far-right group of cranks, once designated a hate group by the SPLC, and which even accused Huma Abedin of being a Muslim Brotherhood spy and got condemned by John McCain and Marco Rubio.
Since we’re talking about El-Sayed’s dad, is it true Senator Cruz that your dad helped kill JFK? That’s what Donald Trump once suggested, right? Is he correct?
Welp. It’s happening.
Bulldozers and heavy equipment arrived in Big Bend National Park today. The most rugged, pristine lands in the lower 48. Trump’s border wall is coming. CBP is refusing to inform residents, park superintendents, landowners, business owners, or Texas legislators what is happening. What we know is that they are now paving new roads where there were none, erecting fencing and walls to protect those roads, and then planning to install technology and border patrol agents in an area where close to zero people ever cross the border.
Ironically, depressingly, they will be spending billions of dollars to destroy this pristine American land while literally making it easier to access, which means easier for coyotes and border crossers to actually traverse the region if they wanted to. Before this, there were no roads, just desserts, cliffs, and cacti, which made it all but impassable.
A few miles upstream, the first border barriers the administration just erected were washed away in the first flood of the season — not even a bad one — but hundreds of millions of dollars wasted, literally floating down the Rio Grande. A few miles downstream, near Eagle Pass, razor wire and debris are washing up ashore from the first floods there, making this critical water source inaccessible for Texans or any wildlife enthusiasts.
Right now, as we speak, $4 billion is flowing to contractors in Trump’s orbit to cut Texans, including me and my family, off from the most critical water source in the state. All for what? Big Bend is 25% of the patrolled southwest border and accounts for less than 1% of all border crossings. Border towns, businesses, tourism — all about to be destroyed. Nevermind the irreversible wildlife damage, the feds stealing land from private citizens via eminent domain, and all the money wasted that could go to actual solutions to secure the border or support these communities.
Ever since I first visited my family here when I was 13 years old I wanted to make a life in West Texas. Three years ago, after so much hard work and planning, I spent my savings on building a home there. One I hoped my son would inherit. A home in one of the most beautiful, rugged, untouched, places in the country. Also one of the safest.
Now, everything that makes this special place special is being upended — for an illogical, wasteful, stupid plan that won't work and won't help the country.
A genuine gut punch. So depressing.
So that's a yes, you are against funding to things like the Iron Dome?
Abdul El-Sayed: "I am against it, in large part because I just don't understand why anybody thinks it's the right thing to do to send our tax dollars abroad, to fund foreign militaries when our own kids barely get to go to schools that are functional."
This is absolutely shocking.
Jesse Butler - The Oklahoma teen who violently r*ped and strangled a high school girl so badly she needed neck surgery and was seconds from dying - just had his entire case dismissed.
He was looking at 78 years.
He pleaded to the charges.
He completed a “youthful offender” rehab plan… and walked free with zero prison time.
His dad is a former Oklahoma State football director.
The new DA said the defense claimed the *perpetrator* suffered more than the victims and called it an “affront.” He’s referring the case to federal prosecutors.
It’s only been a few hours since the first viable Muslim
Senate candidate won a primary and his GOP opponent is already running ads featuring Osama bin Laden and 9/11.
The Islamophobia over the next few months is gonna be vicious.
No surprise, but Speaker Johnson says he’s standing behind Max Miller — despite the very credible allegations of domestic abuse from Miller’s ex-wife and daughter.
Absolutely vile human beings.
Over 250 years, the US has built up $40T in public debt.
Trump has been in office for less than 6 years, yet accounts for $11.4T of it, nearly 29%.
No president has been worse on public debt. DOGE was a total failure, and Musk lied to you
Shout out to Reuters and ABC for pushing this story, but this should be fucking everywhere.
The most openly corrupt individual this country has ever seen. No one else comes close.
@BasedMikeLee It also doesn’t look like corporations and billionaires pumping money to a bunch of millionaires who then use us like batteries in the matrix. Asshole.
