If you describe what is occurring in the US as a “coup” or “fascism,” or refer to the elected government as a “regime” (left or right), I have deep contempt for you. Your cosplaying as oppressed makes light of the suffering of those who have lived under actual authoritarianism.

My family in Egypt lived in terror when the Muslim Brotherhood took power b/c they were a religious minority. El Sayed was not just a supporter of the MB, but encouraged crackdowns on police and press. If you want to support that evil, own it. Stop hiding about what you are.

Abdul El-Sayed is going to win, and the people who are opposed to him are basically throwing anything at the wall and hoping it will stick. And the weird thing is this really isn't very important except as a repudiation of attacking Muslim candidates on religion.

I am so tired of the way people are knowingly turning a blind eye to truly bad dudes and have to come up with a story to pretend that it is a principled. The left has criticized this shit from the right for a long time, but every time they get a chance, they fall in line.

At first, I thought that Slotkin had given up on pretending and was owning her statement from the other day.

Fear is the point. Intimidation is the point. And if the President can try to do this to me, he can do it to anyone.

Slotkin obviously realizes that threatening to abuse the justice system to deter political participation might not be the best message. She realizes, of course, that she can’t spin her words, so is transitioning to “I’m actually the victim (of what I said we should do).”

I don’t think all Muslims are supportive of Muslims Brotherhood. I think he has been, in his own hand, under his own name. To conflate Muslim and Muslim Brotherhood supportive, as he does here, is almost as bigoted as calling Arab-Americans cat-calling, loosie-selling quick stop owners, which he also did.

El-Sayed: "We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, 'He's Muslim.'"

Going to be interesting when people start making stuff up about Uygur after his death, knowing they can’t be sued for defamation, and Piker and the hive start crying about how it is inappropriate.

(1/2)Between about 6:45-9:00AM today, an estimated 2” fell on the headwaters of Gould Wash! That was enough to send a flood wave down the Wash and into the town of Hurricane.

It's over. The higher ed dam has broken: Clemson is offering a voluntary separation program (VSP) to 452 eligible faculty and staff. Eligible employees who accept the offer will receive a lump-sum payment equal to nine months of their base pay.

I am tired of seeing books that I can read whenever I want added to "banned books" tables. If bookstores want to show they are brave, show the Satanic Verses. They should have copies of the Charlie Hebdo issue that spurred that massacre. If you want to be brave, be brave.

Holy guacamole: In a judicial smackdown, Judge J.E. Smith tears into Judge Wingate for his "careless[] exercise" of judicial power and "sloppy edicts based on falsehoods and fabrications." Mississippi's anti-DEI law can go into effect. Judicial AI use takes a beating. Reassigned.

I can’t imagine how dumb you have to be to come up with “stock buybacks should be illegal.”
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed
@AbdulElSayedOct 21
GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

What Tur is noticing is that Talarico is a weirdo, and putting up a weirdo makes it harder for people to cross the aisle (even when the alternative is a reprobate like Paxton). He could still win, of course, but a more normal candidate, like Allred, would’ve been an easier sell.

Has anyone figured out why centimillionaire Ro Khanna draws the line at billionaires? Seems like the same arguments would call for a wealth tax on people with his level of assets too.
Ro Khanna
@RoKhanna7h
Looks like billionaires will stay and figure out a way to pay the tax. If we pass Prop 40, poor California kids can have healthcare. Gavin, can you and Sergey Brin stop with your fear-mongering of a billionaire exodus?

In the spirit of solidarity with poor California kids, I’m sure that @RoKhanna will donate 5% of his roughly $230 million to the state. Thank you for your leadership, Rep. Khanna!

Jokes aside, if Khanna was serious or had a modicum of political acumen, he’d give away that ~$11.5 million. But he has such avarice and is so dishonest that we know he won’t.

@BernieSanders6h
No. I’m not “scapegoating” AIPAC. You support Trump's illegal war in Iran. Americans don’t. You want taxpayers to spend billions funding the Israeli government. Americans don’t. Your super PAC is spending $9 million to defeat Abdul because he opposes your agenda. Unacceptable.

In 1980, Texas was 79% white, of European descent. It’s now 39%. There’s a growing Asian population, but we know many of those Asians are Pakistanis and Indians on H-1B visas. These people aren’t the same; they don’t care about what we care about.

Voter integrity win: Can a federal judge violate Supreme Court precedemy and order New Hampshire to accept student IDs as voter ID--despite not being allowed under New Hampshire law? No, and certainly not on the eve of election. Stay granted in a huge win for AG @JohnFormella
