#BREAKING: Stevens staff resign over Rogers endorsement
thehill.com/homenews/campaig…
Thank you Susan Wild for your honest and candid assessment of this situation. Haley will go down in my book right next to Rep Van Drew from NJ. She is like a little kid who did not get her way so decided to make trouble for everyone else.
I know @HaleyforMI way better than most people on X. She and I came into Congress together in 2018. She was co-Prez of our freshman class. She was incredibly kind to me when my late partner died; she organized a big group of our class to come to the House floor to support me when I spoke about his suicide. We were roommates in 2023, after my wonderful first roomie lost her election; both my adult kids know Haley well and are on a texting basis with her. We’ve socialized and we have good friends in common. While she and I differ on one impt issue, specifically Israel and AIPAC support, I’ve never publicly challenged her on those things, because I felt that her good points outweighed the issues I disagreed with her on. Today, that changes. 👇
Haley’s endorsement of Rogers in the MI senate race is appalling. Not because he’s a Republican, but because what he stands for is what she, and I, and our caucus has fought so hard against. Rogers is a 100% anti-choice politician. He is a Trump loyalist. He’s shown his Islamophobia in his many remarks against @AbdulElSayed, and with this endorsement, Haley has shown that she agrees with his positions. I’m shocked by Haley’s endorsement. I’m terribly sad and disappointed. I’m furious and will be more so if we lose the MI senate race. So many people in the Democratic Party have shown so much support to Haley over the years, and she has betrayed them all. If this is because of her new relationship (about which many of us were so happy for her after she lost the primary), all I can say is that any woman who abandons her friends when a new guy comes along is no friend at all. The fallout for Haley won’t just be in Dem politics; she will be a pariah among her friends in the Democratic caucus in Congress. Only she will be able to decide whether it was worth it.

Thank you for the statement on Israel.
Haley Stevens. Oof. I remember when you were a pro choice feminist fighter and now you're sucking up to anti-choice maga?
Before you come for me, I'm Jewish. Don't talk to me about Israel. Expecting Jews to unquestioningly support Israel is actual antisemitism.

Trump says we’re building “more factories and plants right now than at any time in our history.”
Factory construction hit a historic record under Biden and has fallen 31% since Trump took office.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has the overwhelming support of the United States Congress, he has the overwhelming support of the American people, and he has the overwhelming support of the Ukrainian people. Russian illegally invaded Ukraine, a sovereign and freedom-loving nation, and Russia is squarely to blame for all damage and destruction, to both lives and treasure, that has resulted from Putin’s unprovoked attack.
@ZelenskyyUa, you know that the United States Congress, and the American people, stand 100% behind you. The Ukrainian people are so blessed to have you leading them in these difficult times. We have your back, and we will stand with you until Ukrainian victory is achieved. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

He's right.
It is sickening that the USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians every day. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to the price of fuel.
If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.

Trump yesterday:
We have the best economic numbers of any president in the history of our country. Yet people don't know about it.
BREAKING: The U.S. added just 29,000 jobs in September, far below the 90,000 expected.
Unemployment rose to 4.2% from 4.1%. Wage growth also slowed to 3% year-over-year, its lowest annual pace since May 2021.
And the previous numbers got worse too: August was revised down to 133,000 jobs, while July was revised from a gain of 21,000 to a loss of 10,000. Altogether, July and August were revised down by 60,000 jobs.

Sorry, one more thing on AI in schools: a recent Chinese study found that using AI in classrooms raised homework scores but LOWERED test scores. The kids aren't really learning if an LLM is doing the work. Get that shit out of the classroom until they're older, and teach them critical thinking skills.

I call BS.
"Maybe I'm not that friendly."
President Trump gets a big laugh at the U.S. ambassador's residence as he explains why First Lady Melania Trump didn't join him in Ireland.
Trump says she told him the seven-hour flight was too long and jokes that he replied, "Put on a Make America Great Again hat and come on, let's go," before adding that she was watching from home and sends her regards.
