Counterpoint:
She makes two factual claims. If you object to those, you object to the Constitution and established DOJ norms.
So, "hilarious" is a confession.

Welp, Elon still uses them for America PAC
Per @NeasNews, Northwest Registered Agent says it will "formerly resign" from representing the LLC that sent mailers all over texas impersonating the Transgender Education Network of Texas: kxan.com/news/texas-politicsā¦
Say @MaryMargOlohan? Turn around. Show us what THAT looks like?
Why are you so unashamed about being dishonest? Don't you believe in that whole shall not lie stuff?
Since @benyoho has locked down his campaign, definitely worth focusing on his spouse, with whom he looted taxpayers, who is ALSO pro child rape.
Why do we have a sitting Congressman from Ohio @GregLandsman crying on live TV?
This is getting embarrassing. Get it together.

Somali names traditionally use a person's given name, father's name, and grandfather's name rather than Western-style inherited surnames. MAGA spent ten years researching Ilhan Omar and somehow never found time to research how Somali names work.
#BREAKING: Ilhan Omar's real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, the same surname as her ex-husband.
I mean, BOTH of you DID address it on social media, @chad_mizelle.
But by all means, sue away. We look forward to the discovery.
Let me be clear: We intend to pursue legal action against those responsible for publishing and disseminating these categorically false and defamatory allegations. We are preserving all legal rights and remedies and will address these matters in the appropriate forum, not through exchanges on social media.
Major revelation here from @Timodc on the Mike and Kristi Rogers scandal.
We reported that she was Paul Bremerās press aid in Iraq and that he traveled there frequently as a married member of Congress. He divorced his first wife in 2007 and married Kristi in 2010. Rogers joined the Intel committee in 2005.
In 2006, Kristi launched the U.S. subsidiary of Aegis, a defense contractor, which quickly started getting massive contracts.
Tim Miller adds a key detail: Kristi Clemens was Rogersā finance director for his 2000 campaign. So they knew each other this entire time.
Rogers and his wife threatened to sue us over our first story. We stand by our reporting.
Merrick Garland approved the highly risky prosecution of Tom Barrack in which all this was hinted at, which might have been the first step to getting to this. But I bet @zachdcarter missed that.
Merrick Garland will burn forever xitter.cf/michaeldweiss/status/2ā¦
Right wingers are so hilarious with this comparison!!
Let's compare $158 to $2.5.
Okay, sure. Let's do that!
Chris Murphy says Elon Musk is spending $158 million to buy a Senate seat.
Michael Bloomberg gave $2.5 million to a super PAC backing the same Democratic Senate candidate, James Talarico.
Bloomberg is also directing roughly $80 million toward Democrats this election.
Does Murphy consider Bloombergās money an attempt to buy elections too?
Same election. Same candidate. Two billionaires. Apply the same standard.
Say @RepRickCrawford?
I see that you want batshit on @jahimes and @MarkWarner for talking about how Russia is trying to harm pro-Ukrainian MoCs.
Can you disclose whether Trump let Mikhail Zvinchuk go free--in spite of the US $10M reward--bc he's helping pro-Russian GOPers?

TEXAS IPEV DAY 3 UPDATE
The third day has consistently gotten redder - the electorates in the tracked counties are well bluer than 2024 but by less so than the first two days (D+11 instead of D+12)
Most of the big counties are keeping their leans relative to 2024: Dallas/Travis/Harris are all running an electorate 8-10 pts bluer than 2024.
Potential EV frontloading in Tarrant for Dems - their turnout advantage has dropped fairly precipitously.
Dark MAGA land is starting to catch up. Deaf Smith, Potter, Randall, Hardin all had day 3 that was *redder* than the day 3 in 2024. Turnout is still horrible there though.
Indian/Pakistani precincts in Collin/Fort Bend are seeing elevated Asian turnout - this is perhaps the Bo French backlash.
Overall EV is more Latino and younger.
Still lots to go, but Democrats are still in the driver's seat. If I had all the rural counties to add in, the recalled electorate would probably be Trump +7 or so. Eminently doable for a Dem to get 7 points of persuasion in this environment - but we can't directly measure that.
I will try to add more counties if they can get me data in time. Next EV space will be on Friday to talk about latest results.

Say @AAGDhillon? This far right extremist has violated the sanctity of the secret ballot. Will you intervene?
BREAKING!!! @chad_mizelle says that @RheinAmacher, @nicksortor, @CarolineWren, @bennyjohnson, and Donald Trump are "Left."
Wow.
@itsyourgov is a fucking rube for @jsolomonReports transparent bullshit propaganda.
Do you people have no self-respect?
HUGE SWATHS of what was released were redacted AND ALSO Johnny only dealt with one of two allegations.
Dumbass MAGAts.

I get the need to try to calm down the situation, especially from those inside. But stating that the U.S. president is the dupe of Russian psychological warfare is not the flex this government source thinks it is. economist.com/europe/2026/10ā¦
