It’s happened again: A migrant was released from jail (charges dropped) and picked up by ICE. ICE decides not to deport. ICE drops migrant off far from home. Migrant dies in the cold. Manner of death: Homicide. Nearly identical to Buffalo case. wtae.com/article/daphy-miche…

The Ellisons now own TikTok, Paramount, Warner Bros, CBS News, HBO, Comedy Central, and CNN, among other major channels. They are also the largest private donor to "Friends of the IDF." They also paid $7 billion for streaming rights to UFC, which is hosting an event at the White House. Trump voters who aren't millionaires don't realize they're supporting a gang of criminals who are openly screwing them and their families. Tragic.

NEW: The Trump-aligned org Citizens for Sanity is dropping a six-figure ad buy in the Texas Senate race. The ad is a 15 second clip of AI-generated James Talarico singing a "trans kids" rendition of “Favorite Things." Obtained first by @DailyCaller:

And now the Elections Commission says Bangstad has 1,504 valid signatures, below the 2,000 valid ones needed to qualify for the ballot. Candidates have the opportunity to filed affidavits to rehabilitate signatures tossed out by WEC.
UPDATE: Bangstad listed the wrong date for the general election on dozens of nomination papers he turned in. The error could invalidate the signatures on those pages. He listed Aug. 11, the date of the primary. See more in today's PM Update: pro.stateaffairs.com/wi/pm-u…

Bookmarking this for when Tiffany does go on with Fuentes.
Sort of as if Tiffany went on with Fuentes (which I assume he would never do). And it's one of the reasons many Republican voters roll their eyes when Democrats bang on about norms and democracy. Hypocrisy may not be the worst sin, but this goes beyond hypocrisy. This is who she is.

In 2016 I went to the DNC. I saw everyone there - Bernie, Al Sharpton, Triumph the Comic Insult Dog… So many amazing folks. The ONLY person I asked to take a pic with was Fett. (It came out blurry but I was still pumped!) What a brutal disappointment he’s turned out to be.
The single worst decision the American left made in recent years - and I include myself here - was defending, promoting, believing in this guy. The absolute worst. An absolute charlatan and liar and wannabe Republican. Apologies to @ConorLambPA and @malcolmkenyatta.

News: Wisconsin Congressman Bryan Steil touts lead reduction in drinking water affecting Black and Brown communities, but actually voted against it Steil is amid a heated race for his seat in Wisconsin’s First Congressional District, which includes southeastern Wisconsin, including part of Milwaukee County (Cudahy, St. Francis, Oak Creek and South Milwaukee). “It’s unfortunate that Bryan Steil continues to deceive the hard working people of Wisconsin’s First District,” @IronStache (Randy Bryce) said in a statement. “Whether it’s lying about federal help coming after a disaster or about supporting safe drinking water, Wisconsin deserves honest representation. “November will show how fed up Wisconsin is with being blatantly lied to.” milwaukeecourier.com/news/20…

To all of those whining about artist's dropping out of the Freedom250 concert: Ten years ago, Congress established the America 250 foundation to plan our nation's 250th birthday celebration and they've been working on it since. Trump fired them all and set up his own Freedom 250 celebration focused only on highlighting MAGA and his accomplishments. These artists were told they were performing at the first only to discover they would be appearing at the second.

Breaking: The Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear an appeal of a case filed by a bipartisan coalition of business leaders that seeks to redraw the state's Republican-friendly congressional districts. A three-judge panel dismissed the case in April.

CNN fact checker Daniel Dale hasn’t been on the air since March 13. That’s after averaging 12 or 13 appearances a month for several years. But apparently, there’s absolutely no reason for this. He’s still doing fact checks. He’s done 16 in the past six or seven weeks. But nothing on the air. He did one on Friday about the 28 lies Trump told last week. But that one didn’t make it on the air.

Voters are asking ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok about candidates. Most campaigns have no idea what those answers say about them. And even fewer know how to influence them. >>>
