Mike Rogers voted to exclude gay people from hate crimes legislation. Mike Rogers backed a near total abortion ban. Mike Rogers doesn't believe in elections. Mike Rogers voted against gay marriage equality AND against repealing "don't ask don't tell". Multiple times.

Pokemon Go To Hell, Haley Stevens
Hillary Clinton on Haley Stevens: I have no idea what her thinking was. If it has any impact, I think it will end up helping Abdul. Everybody who runs for office, who doesn't make it is going to feel disappointed, maybe hurt, even a little angry. But you got to put that behind you and get together in order to beat what is a huge danger to our future. And that's what should have happened here.

The only thing I'd say about Haley Stevens, who I knew pretty well in Congress, is that her actions have been neither principled nor opportunistic, just strange. I'd look more to experts in psychology than politics to explain them. But there are more important issues here. 1/

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…

In 2019, during the first Trump Administration, I wrote: “One day in the not too distant future, Republicans will wake up and say, ‘We did this for this man?’” It’s taken longer than I thought, but I think that day is finally coming.

Working class people’s lives are on the ballot on Tuesday—their healthcare, their rent, their bills. Haley Stevens just betrayed them by endorsing the very Republican she said she wanted to run against.
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

So @HaleyforMI didn’t feel welcome at a political event, so now she doesn’t care if Democrats win the Senate. She’s against “hate” while supporting one of the most hateful campaigns in memory. She endorsed then unendorsed then endorsed then unendorsed her former rival, who she promised to unite behind, after endlessly repeating (correctly!) that Mike Rogers MUST be defeated. What an incoherent disgrace. Hope this anger drives people to do whatever they can to help @AbdulElSayed win.

Standing with Miker Rogers is a betrayal of everything Haley Stevens has fought for her entire career. It's also a betrayal of all of her supporters that believed in her. I hope @AbdulElSayed has a strong victory on Tuesday and that all Democrats and like-minded independents support vote for him.
HAPPENING NOW: Congresswoman Haley Stevens joins Mike Rogers at church in Detroit this morning. We have a state to save, Michigan.

JD Vance is like the opposite of Pete Buttigieg. Back when Pete was Mayor, a doctor recalled how Pete appeared out of nowhere and served as a translator for a family in the ER:
JD Vance whines about translators in hospitals and says, "how about if everyone just spoke English?"

Mike Rogers is one of the chief architects of the modern surveillance state and a champion of the forever war. Privacy and war are two of the very few issues on which a member of Congress can make a difference with a marginal, decisive vote. Michigan, let’s make sure Rogers gets nowhere near the U.S. Senate.

During panel discussion organized by the group Speak Up For Justice, Scott Pelley says: "In my experience, and having talked to my colleagues as well, there was an imperative to move our coverage in the direction of the president. To put a thumb on the scale, if you will, in terms of the president's viewpoint. ... I had never seen anything like this. This was corporate influence coming into the news division saying, 'We want you to report stories with this particular bent, in terms of politics.' It was anathema to all of us who had worked at 60 Minutes for so many years, and we fought the battle against it. We pushed back against it."

Here’s another clip of a woman reading Trump’s words verbatim from a recent rally in Mississippi that puts a giant magnifying glass over how gone he is cognitively and unfit he is for office.

The people complaining about Obama’s Cheesecake Factory line sound like performative humorless scolds, maybe this is Woke 2.0.
This line is getting praise on X, but it’s actually elitist garbage written by a speechwriter who clearly hasn’t spent much time in a Cheesecake Factory, which has none of the gaudy Trump aesthetic, and just feels good to say because it represents flyover MAGA “night out.”

Huge respect to the organizers, activists and voters of Brazil and Serbia. These results are due to so much work and they give us so much hope. There is nothing inevitable about the far right.
