Jon Ossoff: “There’s something uniquely despicable about lying a nation into war. Treating citizens as fools and the selfless patriots who serve as pawns. Earlier this year, they claimed there was an imminent nuclear threat after last year they told us they had obliterated that threat. Both times lies. On day 12 of this war, the president said we won. On day 14, Secretary Hegseth said Iran’s military was destroyed. Five months later, we’re still bombing, Americans are still dying, Iran still has its uranium, the Strait of Hormuz is still closed. I challenge anyone to defend this. A war built on lies told by a White House that is utterly absent any figures of integrity to dissuade this president from his delusions”
Donald Trump posted a graphic targeting Abdul El-Sayed and his wife, comparing them to him and Melania with the caption “Two Very Different America’s.” Here’s how El-Sayed flipped it right back on him live on CNN:
El-Sayed: Yeah, he's right. One in which your overlords are two people who don't like each other, but joined in the interest of making billions of dollars off of you.
Or two people who genuinely love each other, enjoyed some pancakes together, want to come together to build the kind of America where they can raise a family and know that that family is going to have the good things.
So, yes, you got two different visions of America. Donald Trump's vision is the one you're living in right now. Can you afford your gas? Can you afford your groceries? Do you believe, when you look your kids in the eye, that they're going to have a better future than you did?
And Sarah and I are running because when we look our daughters in the eye, Emmalee and Shireen, we want them to believe that they're every bit as able to have a better future than the one that they could have had under the Trump administration. That they can live together with their sisters and their brothers in America in a way where they lock arms to build the good things that they deserve together.
Where they know they'll have the healthcare that they need and good jobs, and that they don't have to go 15 minutes and know that there are kids who live 15 minutes away whose lives are very, very different than theirs because we've been, for far too long, okay with a level of inequality in this country.
I want them to live in an America where they can breathe clean air and drink clean water.
And actually, Sarah and I like each other. I don't know about the First Lady and the President, but from what I've heard, it's a bit of a rocky road.
As an airline Captain I had people removed from flights for many reasons. Airborne preaching was one reason. It is dangerous and rude to other passengers.
If y’all agree that she should be allowed to preach about Jesus to a captive audience on an airline, you must also agree with Muslim’s having their call to prayers on board. Right?
An airline cabin is no place for street corner preachers getting in peoples faces. Passengers pay a lot of money for their seats and do not want to hear about “Jesus” at 35,000 ft
Those who continue to be a disruption and a nuisance on a plane for whatever reason need to be barred from the airline

@RealMartyT7 Alaska airlines has always been my preferred airline, and now I love it even more. If I want to hear a preacher, I’ll go to church, otherwise keep it to yourself.
Fauci was caring for AIDS patients when others wouldn’t even touch them. He fought harmful misinformation. He warned about the risk of a pandemic for years. You’re never going to convince me he’s a terrible person.
Former prosecutor Chris Christie called Charles Kushner one of the most disgusting people he prosecuted during his seven years as U.S. Attorney.
Charles Kushner (Jared Kushner’s father) hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law (his sister’s husband), secretly recorded the encounter, and sent the tape to his sister in an attempt to intimidate her and her husband from cooperating with federal investigators in a case involving tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions, and witness tampering.
Christie said he found it crazy that Trump later pardoned Kushner and appointed him ambassador to France.
FRIENDS: Can we get 1,000 quick replies using the hashtag #LoserTrumpsElectionLies to make clear that while Trump relitigates 2020 tonight instead of addressing affordability, nothing he says will stop Americans from exercising their right to vote this November?
Jon Ossoff just responded to reports that Trump plans to declare him an “illegitimate” senator because of nonexistent voter fraud. Every word of this is spot on. Spread it everywhere and support Ossoff!!!
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
