BREAKING: Abdul El-Sayed's campaign is responding to @FoxNews after unearthed social media posts from El Sayed's sister in 2012 appear to show her saying her family has been involved with and supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood. I asked the campaign if they deny the posts are in fact from his sister, and what comment they have given that El-Sayed just told Meet the Press over the weekend that nobody in his family has any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. This is what they told me.
“Abdul is a dad and a doctor. He has spent his entire career working to keep Michiganders healthy and safe. Independent fact checkers have repeatedly debunked Mike’s lies, but their campaign continues to use bad faith attacks on Abdul's faith and family. Mike wants to distract from Trump’s agenda that is terrorizing Michigan families at the pump and at the grocery store."
- El-Sayed campaign spokesperson Roxie Richner.
On background, the campaign says that claims El Sayed and his family are part of the Muslim Brotherhood have been debunked as "racist" and "untrue".
@tomselliott@SecScottBessent Totally not his argument. You can’t comprehend that Trump started term 2 with a new, higher floor? Without deflation the floor stays where it is.

'Harry Truman's December 1963 Letter to The Washington Post on the CIA
January 21, 2021
A month after Kennedy's assassination, Truman wrote a letter to The Washington Post. The editor buried it on page A-11.
The Washington Post (December 22, 1963)
"Limit CIA Role To Intelligence" by Harry S Truman
INDEPENDENCE, MO., Dec. 21 — I think it has become necessary to take another look at the purpose and operations of our Central Intelligence Agency—CIA. At least, I would like to submit here the original reason why I thought it necessary to organize this Agency during my Administration, what I expected it to do and how it was to operate as an arm of the President.
I think it is fairly obvious that by and large a President's performance in office is as effective as the information he has and the information he gets. That is to say, that assuming the President himself possesses a knowledge of our history, a sensitive understanding of our institutions, and an insight into the needs and aspirations of the people, he needs to have available to him the most accurate and up-to-the-minute information on what is going on everywhere in the world, and particularly of the trends and developments in all the danger spots in the contest between East and West. This is an immense task and requires a special kind of an intelligence facility.
Of course, every President has available to him all the information gathered by the many intelligence agencies already in existence. The Departments of State, Defense, Commerce, Interior and others are constantly engaged in extensive information gathering and have done excellent work.
But their collective information reached the President all too frequently in conflicting conclusions. At times, the intelligence reports tended to be slanted to conform to established positions of a given department. This becomes confusing and what's worse, such intelligence is of little use to a President in reaching the right decisions.
Therefore, I decided to set up a special organization charged with the collection of all intelligence reports from every available source, and to have those reports reach me as President without department "treatment" or interpretations.
I wanted and needed the information in its "natural raw" state and in as comprehensive a volume as it was practical for me to make full use of it. But the most important thing about this move was to guard against the chance of intelligence being used to influence or to lead the President into unwise decisions—and I thought it was necessary that the President do his own thinking and evaluating.
Since the responsibility for decision making was his—then he had to be sure that no information is kept from him for whatever reason at the discretion of any one department or agency, or that unpleasant facts be kept from him. There are always those who would want to shield a President from bad news or misjudgments to spare him from being "upset."
For some time I have been disturbed by the way CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the Government. This has led to trouble and may have compounded our difficulties in several explosive areas.
I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations. Some of the complications and embarrassment I think we have experienced are in part attributable to the fact that this quiet intelligence arm of the President has been so removed from its intended role that it is being interpreted as a symbol of sinister and mysterious foreign intrigue—and a subject for cold war enemy propaganda.
With all the nonsense put out by Communist propaganda about "Yankee imperialism," "exploitive capitalism," "war-mongering," "monopolists," in their name-calling assault on the West, the last thing we needed was for the CIA to be seized upon as something akin to a subverting influence in the affairs of other people.
I well knew the first temporary director of the CIA, Adm. Souers, and the later permanent directors of the CIA, Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg and Allen Dulles. These were men of the highest character, patriotism and integrity—and I assume this is true of all those who continue in charge.
But there are now some searching questions that need to be answered. I, therefore, would like to see the CIA be restored to its original assignment as the intelligence arm of the President, and that whatever else it can properly perform in that special field—and that its operational duties be terminated or properly used elsewhere.
We have grown up as a nation, respected for our free institutions and for our ability to maintain a free and open society. There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historic position and I feel that we need to correct it.

The DSA thought nobody would ever connect the dots. They were wrong.
What looks like spontaneous activism on our streets and in our culture is an engineered illusion. For decades, mountains of cash have been funnelled through NGOs, charities, and foreign foundations to build an unelected influence machine no politician can compete with. They built an apparatus to control the narrative, power their politicians, and infect our culture with Marxist ideology.
The blueprints existed. But tonight, alongside @DataRepublican, we map out the entire machine.
🚨They spliced the clip. Again.
Here’s what Trump actually said at the Nebraska rally: ‘It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay.’
The ‘small price’ was gas prices. He was saying the war’s economic cost was worth it to stop a nuclear Iran.
https://t.co/u7NxbqO6mk, PolitiFact, even CNN’s own analysis all say the same thing. The White House said it too.
But HQNewsNow’s caption cut the context and made it sound like Trump offered up two American cities as acceptable losses. 20 million views later, Harris, Newsom, and the whole machine piled on within hours.
This is the same playbook as January 6th. They took segments of Trump’s speech, spliced them together, and made it look like he was telling people to attack the Capitol. Now they’re doing it with this clip. No transcript, no context, just outrage.
This is how they manufacture crisis by misinformation and propaganda.
This is the Democrat Party at play, lying to the American people.
🚨 American taxpayers are being robbed blind by Food Stamps fraudsters. Businesses in Seattle are cashing out EBT cards
Nick Shirley is able to walk into a Seattle Seafood Market and pay $120 for 1 can of spam with an EBT card
Here’s how the scam works
- Anyone with an EBT card comes in and buys an item
- The store adjusts the price of that item to the amount of money that’s on the person’s EBT card
- The store gives the person 50 cents on the dollar for the balance on the EBT card
Meaning is you have $120 on your EBT card, you’re able to exchange it for $60 cash and the store pockets the rest of the money for doing the transaction
This is a scam that is happening nationwide. There have even been so many mainstream media stories where this has been highlighted as a common scam
This is OUR tax money being stolen
Don’t believe the polls. There will be no blue wave. Once again, fake polling, designed, not to inform but to persuade & suppress turnout, are misleading voters. I know what I’m talking about. As a twice elected Dem governor and 3 time elected Dem Congressman, I never lost an election. Trust the people. They won’t be fooled. Collins wins in Maine, Texas & Kansas stay Republican, & El-Sayed loses in Michigan.
Elon @elonmusk I have 160 k followers. This post was only shown to 15 k.
It took me years to write this book. I am a key witness to the conspiracy against President Trump, and a professional historian. I assisted Special Counsel Durham for four years and have been trained by the investigators. This book is testimonial and document-based, as well as a great read. It's really important that the people read it before Brennan and other Obama’s other henchmen testify before the Grand Jury in TEN DAYS' time.
This book is foundational. I announced it on @X to make sure the American people read the truth. I planned a series of videos and document posts around the release. I don't have a big publishing house behind me. Which means I could get the book out quickly and without censorship.
But it also means I need everyone's support!
It is a real travesty of justice that this man has not been held responsible for what he did to hundreds of thousands of children who came to this country without their parents, some of them just infants. He delivered many of them to traffickers, predators & murderers in spite of all the warnings from govt contractors & employees. One of them will be speaking out on my show, Going Rogue with Lara Logan, this Friday.
It is not a good sign when the IRGC shifts from "Death to America" to "Vote Democratic." The IRGC is reportedly encouraging Americans to vote against the GOP in the midterms. https://t.co/QwTj1I7nf4 ...
You work for a republican in like the reddest state in the country. Talk about starting on 3rd base and thinking you hit a triple. How'd your Presidential campaign turn out, by the way?
I'm just a dad. I ran for mayor as a republican in communist LA and singlehandedly boosted turnout over 30% from the prior election.
When I say most consultants suck, without ever naming you...but you take it personally and throw a public hissy fit, you may not realize what you're confessing...
