Yes @lawler4ny
Weird that they are nationalizing this by jumping up to stand with the guy @AbdulElSayed who’s made hate his raison d’être. @elonmusk @RJC
Obvious question for all @TheDemocrats rushing to condemn @HaleyforMI for taking a stand against this vile antisemitism of the ad below: sooo, are YOU ok with this ad? Are you OK that @AbdulElSayed won’t clearly denounce it? @RJC @benshapiro @BillAckman @rich_goldberg xitter.gq/marionawfal/status/211…
As Democrats around the country circle wagons around @AbdulElSayed after @HaleyforMI endorses @MikeRogersForMI because Abdul is winking at an anti-Semitic ad in MI, two facts emerge: Democrat leadership will cheat (see Alaska) and even abide antisemitism to win - and @DemSocialists takeover of @TheDemocrats is now complete. A vote for @LtGovStratton is a vote for DSA hate. @Awake_IL @ILGOP @SteveCortes @realDonaldTrump @gop
Anyone who understands the stakes of this election knows that this endorsement is a complete betrayal of Michigan, of voters, and of everything Congresswoman Stevens claims to stand for. And it’s particularly disgusting that she would use Black Michiganders and a space of worship as props in her efforts to seek attention.
If you truly care about Black communities, women, immigrants, workers' rights, or democracy — you could never stand with a Trump acolyte like Mike Rogers. Haley Stevens has shown her true colors today.
Why is @JulianaStratton spending time/energy on the MICHIGAN Senate race? Because she is a PASSIONATE supporter of what @AbdulElSayed stands for: a @DemSocialists led takeover of Congress and a radical makeover for the US and the rest of us. @ILGOP @realDonaldTrump @DonTracyForIL @SteveCortes @IlliniJen @Awake_IL @ChicagoContrar1 @TomBevanRCP

🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Dan Sullivan MIC DROPS Fake News Jake Tapper trying to say "Republicans do it too!!" about Mary Peltola and Democrats' VOTER FRAUD SCAM to plant a fake Dan Sullivan on the ballot
SULLIVAN: "I DON'T DO IT."
"I HAVEN'T done it."
"Because I RESPECT the people I represent. Mary Peltola and her staff and DSCC are DIRECTLY INVOLVED!"
This is now a federal CRIMINAL probe, with dozens of subpoenas going out!
Former Peltola staffers say she knew
Tapper's "both sides" deflection COLLAPSES the second you ask him to name the Republican who did it!

Rep. Haley Stevens was scheduled to campaign with Abdul El-Sayed today.
Instead, she's at church… with Mike Rogers. 👀
Pritzkerville is the dystopian version of Chicago: a dystopia of high taxes, rampant crime, and Democrat corruption. Pritzkerville is Chicago losing its “soul.” It doesn’t have to be this way. Urban life has challenges, but these challenges have long been met – and still are in thriving cities like Miami.
Make no mistake, public safety and the future of our state are on the ballot this November. We need to reject Democrat rule and reconnect government to the mission of serving people. @ILGOP @AaronDelMar @DonTracyForIL realclearpolitics.com/articl…
Voting literally gives me a thrill. My heart beats a lil faster, my gut tenses too.
It’s always this way, in “good” years, the feeling is mixed with relief and in “bad” with resignation.
No one has to ask me to vote - I vote to join in on our amazing 250-year experiment. I voted 10 days ago or so - as soon as I could.
We all see the world through our own lens, and mine is shaped by a passionate belief that individuals matter; freedom brings out our best; and government should secure liberty by serving people instead of ruling them.
Free people govern themselves daily with reason, morality and individual judgment and periodically we have the right to choose who should secure this liberty by voting.
Voting is an essential right to free people, so everyone who loves freedom should love to vote.
Sooo, while I know as a practical matter that we need rallies/calls/texts/door knocks/buses/ads and good weather to get out the vote, there’s always a part of me asking — why?
Why does anyone who loves liberty, who wants to keep our Republic and wants the best for our fellow citizens — why does anyone need anything more than simply having this right?
The RIGHT to VOTE.
I remind myself: freedom includes the right to be left alone. The freedom to simply pursue happiness as the spirit moves.
Voting is a right not an obligation.
I hope others would know tho that freedom is the exception in human history — that freedom is fragile, that rights can be lost, and that wittingly or not, some running for office seek to limit freedoms and even take steps to render voting meaningless.
I wonder: why does this even need to be said?
It matters who runs the government - some people have better judgement than others. Everyone SAYS they want to do good things, but some are lying and some are stupid - individuals matter!
Surely it’s clear to even the most passive observer, disconnected from government affairs, that D’s and R’s have very different ideas about what government should do, and that what government does affects everyone, whether they are paying attention or not.
So if merely having the right isn’t enough to motivate voters, surely trying to affect the direction and impact of government should be reason enough to vote, right?
Cynics are right that the odds of any single vote making a difference are quite low, and that it’s therefore rational to free ride on others taking the time to vote — except when the country is so evenly divided between those who love individual freedom and those seeking “social justice”.
So I acknowledge that people vote for different reasons and this year there are many reasons one might have for one vote or another.
Not me.
While I have passionate beliefs about how we should organize government and who should be entrusted to be our representatives, I recognize that I am likely to be outvoted where I live by people who see the world differently.
I feel sadness for the consequences of how others choose to vote, when I am outvoted.
But, I vote nonetheless — not to win (tho winning would be better!), not to get something (tho I won’t say no!), not because I am mad or happy (I am both actually!)…
I vote because having the right to vote is amazing. I get a say. I can make a statement, though it’s silent and in private.
Knowing a bit of history and believing as I do still makes voting a thrill.
Vote or not as you wish, but honestly I can’t believe anyone wouldn’t vote as long as we can. @elonmusk @SteveCortes @ILGOP @GOP @RCPolitics

Socialism doesn’t mean common ownership and shared responsibility.
It means that the government makes every decision and cannot be challenged.
I live in Chicago area — mailers from Dem incumbents say they (the folks who enacted 63 tax and fee hikes over the last 8 years) will fight to make Illinois more affordable! Realllly?! What have Dems made more affordable in IL? Here’s a guess: abortions, illegal drugs and office space, but only two are actually down. Reply with your guess and look up the answer @IlliniJen @ChicagoContrar1 @chiIIum
Turns out illegal drugs and office space costs are both down in Illinois, but the cost of abortions are up sharply. Who knew?
To my fellow Democrats and Americans, this is why I want JB Pritzker gone.
He hit us with 63 tax and fee hikes since 2019. That’s about $86 billion extra taken from families and businesses. Doubled the gas tax from 19 cents to 38 cents and locked it to inflation forever so it just keeps going up. Seven of his eight budgets broke spending records, top one hit $55.9 billion. Illinois got the highest tax burden in America now, 53% higher than the national average. Highest combined state and local taxes and highest cell phone taxes too.
Truth in Accounting gave us an F on finances, worst unfunded pensions in the country. A Chicago taxpayer is sitting on about $79,500 in combined state and city debt. He signed a pension sweetener for Chicago cops and firefighters that adds like $11 billion more by 2055. Chicago’s pensions got over $50 billion in promises and only $14 billion in assets. We still got the lowest credit rating of any state.
He barely vetoes anything, under 1%, just 29 vetoes on almost 3,500 bills. Signed every single bill in the 2026 session, 395 of them. Promised to veto those partisan gerrymandered maps then signed them anyway. While he’s been in office 11 former state lawmakers pleaded guilty or got convicted, including Madigan on racketeering. No real ethics reform.
About 275,000 people left Illinois in his first term and took $35 billion in income with them. We’re on pace to lose a congressional seat after 2030. Private sector job growth basically nothing at 0.1%. Ranked 43rd in the country.
During COVID he dropped 119 executive orders. Extended the emergency 42 times and ruled by decree for 1,155 days, longer than 49 other states. Schools ranked 43rd for actual in-person learning. Auditor General found $5.24 billion in improper unemployment payments, $2.8 billion of that just gone to identity theft and never coming back.
Chicago Tribune linked him to Bahamas trusts that may have ducked millions in taxes while he was raising taxes on the rest of us. Cook County Inspector General said his family pulled toilets out of their Gold Coast mansion to get a $331,000 property tax break. His name came up on Blagojevich’s wiretaps too.
He’ll say 8 balanced budgets, 12 credit upgrades, bills backlog cleared, $2 billion rainy day fund. Those “balanced” budgets needed $86 billion in new taxes. The backlog got cleared with federal COVID money. That rainy day fund is nothing next to $90 billion in debt and the worst pension mess in America.
Elections coming. Read the receipts then go vote. We trying to fire JB Pritzker, man. This guy gotta go. That’s all we asking.

. @DailySignal: "The Wisconsin governor’s race between David Crowley and Tom Tiffany is neck-and-neck, a new League of American Workers survey shows."
🟦David Crowley 47.7%
🟥Tom Tiffany 44.6%
Though Tom Tiffany trails, it’s within the margin of error, and the Congressman leads among the ‘leaners’ who have yet to decide.
If the legacy media in Wisconsin pursues the very serious allegations of a dirty payoff to David Crowley, this poll tells me the undecided and leaning voters will break for Tiffany and determine the race.
