I’m hoping to see a humbled Trump having to hand the FIFA World Cup to Spain, a country he despises because he couldn’t intimidate their president, Pedro Sanchez, who told Trump in no uncertain words to gfy.
It’s become impossible to ignore the way that people online make fun of my opponent for things that have nothing to do with her policies or politics. It’s unkind and unhelpful. If you support me, please stop.
Focus on the issues: Congresswoman Stevens has welcomed corporations and special interests to support her. She votes to send our money abroad while Michiganders struggle. She’s bought by DTE, Blue Cross, Big Tech, and Big Pharma who pick our pockets. AIPAC, Trump-aligned billionaires, and corporate PACs are spending $50,000,000+ to support her.
THOSE are the issues. We don’t need to be unkind to be honest.
Abdul El-Sayed: “There are communities in Michigan where the median income is 14k. Those schools look like they did 50 years ago. There are barely functional clinics. How dare we advocate for sending our money to a foreign government to annihilate other people when we could be using our money to save lives in those communities”
Sergey Brin is worth $276 billion.
He could save healthcare for 3 million people.
Instead, he’s spending $82 million against California’s 5% billionaire wealth tax.
He’d rather see low-income Americans die & suffer than pay his fair share of taxes.
That is a moral obscenity.
REAKING: Elizabeth Warren corners Trump's Fed chair nominee on who wrote him a $100 MILLION check just before his nomination – and he REFUSES to answer!
One of the strangest exchanges in Washington this week had nothing to do with Donald Trump's election speech. It involved Kevin Warsh, Trump's nominee to chair the Federal Reserve, and a simple question from Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
"Who gave you a hundred-million-dollar check before you were sworn in?" Warren asked. Warsh didn't answer. Instead, he repeatedly pointed to ethics disclosures and his obligations to the Office of Government Ethics.
Warren kept pressing. "Was it a billionaire who has business with the Fed?" she asked. "Was it Stanley Druckenmiller who's made billions of dollars betting on what the Fed does? Or was it a different billionaire? Who gave you the money?"
Crickets. And Warren was pissed.
"A hundred million dollars that you got just before you were sworn in, and you won't tell the American people where it came from," Warren repeated. "Somebody wrote you a check for more than a hundred million dollars."
Before we jump to conclusions, let’s remember that Warsh is as rich as a Rockefeller, and a $100 million transaction may not not be as unusual as it sounds to ordinary Americans. The former Morgan Stanley banker is married to Jane Lauder, heiress to the Estée Lauder fortune. Warsh is perhaps the wealthiest person ever nominated to lead the Federal Reserve.
The transaction could have been the sale of assets, liquidation of investments, a trust distribution, or any number of other financial transactions associated with a fortune of that size.
That said, the Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful institutions in the world, whose decisions affect interest rates, stock prices, bond markets, mortgages, and the broader economy.
When someone poised to wield all that power receives a nine-figure payment immediately before taking office and declines to identify the source, people naturally start asking questions.
Warsh may have a perfectly innocent explanation for the transaction – some financial arrangement common among the ultra-wealthy. But if that's the case, why the hell didn't he just give it?
Sadly, the exchange has become a hallmark of the Trump era. Congress asks a direct question, and Trump's nominees increasingly respond as though the question itself is an affront.
Confirmation hearings exist for a reason. The Senate's constitutional duty is not to applaud nominees or rubber-stamp them but to scrutinize them on behalf of the American people.
Yet time and again, Trump's appointees have treated that process with open disrespect and disdain, refusing to answer straightforward questions, changing the subject, attacking the motives of the questioner, or hiding behnd carefully crafted talking points.
Elizabeth Warren asked Kevin Warsh a simple question: who gave him a big bag of money just before he took office?
Rather than answer it, Warsh behaved as though Congress was not entitled to know.
FACT: Ghislaine Maxwell raped young women & girls alongside J Epstein.
FACT: After Todd Blanche met with Maxwell for 9 hrs she was transferred to a much softer min security prison camp.
@SenThomTillis - if you've any decency, you will not vote to confirm Todd Blanche as AG.
There is NOTHING more sinister than a government preparing the ground to declare their opponents domestic terrorists in order to hold onto power.
This man represents the worst among us. He knows what Trump is doing is wrong, he knows what Trump is doing is causing immeasurable reputational damage for the US on the world stage, but his own hubris and ambition forces him to defend the indefensible, and indulge in baseless fear tactics.
He is a despicable, traitorous and vile character who is willing to sacrifice his own values and those of the country he swore an oath to serve at the altar of a criminal corrupt pathological liar and adjudicated rapist, in furtherance of personal ambition.
Shame on him.i don’t know how he sleeps at night. Other than upside down in a cave.

This narrative is such a farce and insult to our intelligence. People arent mean to her bc she's a woman, they're mean to her because she's a genocidal cartoon character who is bought and owned by a foreign apartheid state that is openly committing crimes against humanity
The situation of McConnell's death being covered up, was a great opportunity for Andy Beshear to step up and show us what type of leader he is. Instead, he felt the need to talk about Bidens age while addressing the matter. According to reports he also received information from two non government agencies who told him McConnell was dead. Why didn't he act then. What is he waiting for?
Current Affairs: Haley Stevens Is an Extremist, Not a Centrist
"Stevens takes the radical position that U.S. support for Israel should “go unquestioned.” If never questioning support for a genocidal state is “moderate,” then our definition of “moderate” needs to change."
Saying you’re worried about China interfering in our elections after you got paid over $300 million by an Israeli family is pretty hilarious. Israel has interfered in our politics more than all other countries combined.
Conman Elon Musk just gave conman Vivek Ramaswamy $5M to buy the Governor’s seat.
Ohio's future belongs to Ohio voters. We’re not for sale.

It appears there are now TWO credible allegations of rape of a minor by Donald Trump. Let's not forget that a jury found that he raped E. Jean Carroll as well.
But @derrickvanorden refused to sign the discharge petion. He is a pedophile protector, and admitted sexual harasser.
If taxpayers pay Mitch McConnell’s salary, then taxpayers deserve to know if he's alive.
Taxpayers also pay his staff’s salaries, and they should be forced to answer this simple question, and show proof — and if they lie, they should be prosecuted.
This isn’t complicated.
