Trump supporter: “Stop making racism a issue. This country is not racist. Some people are racist, you’re never gonna stop that. Majority are not so stop pushing it like it’s a big issue” Jason Selvig: “And what are your thoughts on Muslims?” Trump supporter 2: “I think they should be deported and go back to their own country”

This … is his closing message?
Ohio Gov. candidate Vivek Ramaswamy claims that "a Black baby" is "probably safer in the streets of Chicago than in the womb of his own Black mother"

They had Billy Dee Williams playin two face in BatMan 1989, an Actor so talented they completed the vision via comics. Brian Tyree Henry is a Phenomenal actor himself, yall seriously need to grow up.
A BLACK Two-Face?! This has to be a fucking joke LMFAO Even when Sebastian Stan is RIGHT THERE they somehow manage to fuck that up, atp I have no sympathy for WB, this movie won't have the same impact as the first, 6 year wait for this, this is certainly no Dark Knight.

This has been part of his core message since literally day one of the campaign, and its not remotely controversial. Turns out its quite popular!
Abdul El-Sayed literally just repeated the gist of the claim that got him in hot water this week: “It shouldn't be this hard to pay taxes and know that that money's gonna be spent on you and your kids, instead of dropping bombs on somebody else and their kids.” That is the essence of the highly controversial ad that caused Haley Stevens to break with him and sparked condemnation from Jewish leaders across America.

Why are you going so far out of your way to simp for racism? I don’t get it.

I may be being somewhat picky but I suggest a man’s rape tally should be zero. For his entire lifetime.

Mocking you? Your name is Chaiya Raichik.
"My name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. That name is just as American as Mike or Donald or whatever JD stands for." He’s mocking us

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…

Working class people’s lives are on the ballot on Tuesday—their healthcare, their rent, their bills. Haley Stevens just betrayed them by endorsing the very Republican she said she wanted to run against.
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.
