Um. Trump just called Black and Jewish Americans "crazy."
I look forward to the media completely ignoring this.
Trump in South Carolina: "If you're Black or Jewish and if you vote for Abdul, you're crazy. You're crazy anyway."
lol, too late, motherfucker.

Republican-aligned Super PACs were elevating spoiler candidates in Alaska's senate campaign.
The outrage is fake. alaskapublic.org/news/politi…

Missed the @nytimes scoop on Eric Hafner (gigantic eyeroll) who’s currently enjoying his second stint as a Republican plant in Alaska running as a Dem to syphon votes in the House race. Last time against Mary, this time against Bill Hill.
Hell, the Times staff wouldn’t have even need to go very far to interview him, since Hafner is sitting in a federal prison in New York!
Trump: "It has just been determined that the Democrats in Alaska illegally searched for, and recruited, a man named Dan Sullivan to run against our distinguished Republican Senator, Dan Sullivan, in order to defraud, confuse, and obfuscate the Election, thereby taking votes away from the REAL Senator, Dan Sullivan. The New York Times reports that, 'Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska’s Senate ballot. But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run — as well as other candidates.' The Democrats’ false statements were made under oath in Federal Court. Therefore, they perjured themselves, and should be liable for very serious consequences. Mary Peltola should suffer the Legal and Political consequences for what she has done, A FRAUD ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, and Dan Sullivan should be allowed to run without either Mary Peltola or FAKE Dan Sullivan on the Ballot. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Imagine if a sitting Republican senator said voters should reject Jon Ossoff or Josh Shapiro because they reject Jesus. That would be a big story. This won't be because Islamophobia from powerful Republicans is simply the norm. It's why there's no comparison between the level of Islamophobia and the level of antisemitism in America today. Only one is actively promoted by the state. peterbeinart.substack.com/p/…

I’m going to suspend my low expectations and express hope that every traditional opponent of bigotry in America, including the @ADL, will unite to condemn this crude, explicit & out of control anti-Muslim rhetoric from senior GOP leaders, which threatens every minority faith.

Let's say that some Peltola campaign staffers did in fact recruit Dan Sullivan to run.
One, it's not illegal. People with the same name can run for office. It happens.
Two, how is that any different than the Republican operatives who have long been recruiting "flipper" candidates, and running GHOST candidates in other races.
Screw Republicans.
Taste your own medicine.
If Alaskans can't read their own ballot, that's on them, not Dems.

Some of us have long memories:
Republican spoiler-candidate precedents:
• Florida, 2020: Frank Artiles recruited a same-surname “ghost candidate” against Democrat José Javier Rodríguez. GOP won by 32 votes. Jury found Artiles guilty.
• Minnesota, 2020: Adam Weeks said in a recorded voicemail that Republicans recruited him to siphon votes from Angie Craig.
• Minnesota, 2020: Kevin Shores said an RNC-paid strategist recruited him to run under a cannabis-party banner. RNC denied involvement.
• Wisconsin, 2012: GOP openly recruited six Republicans to run as Democrats in recall primaries.
• Pennsylvania, 2006: Republican donors financed Green candidate Carl Romanelli’s ballot-access effort against Bob Casey.
• Presidential race, 2024: GOP operatives helped Cornel West get on ballots. New reporting traces funding through a Musk-linked network—not directly to Musk.

Senator Collins, I think you are a little out of touch. This is about a cord of wood — and about Mainers struggling to afford to heat their homes this winter.
I know what it’s like to run out of fuel. I’ve lived that struggle.
That’s the experience I’ll take to the U.S. Senate. And I’ll use it to fight for working people.

Idiocracy in action. It's only the most complicated region of the world from a foreign policy perspective and a place we've flushed trillions down the toilet over the years and the guy a heartbeat away from the Presidency is here with the jokes.

Shameful editorial choices from @nytimes.
