FOX: You look at places in Europe, what you get is people waiting so long…
El-Sayed: Do you know average wait time for cardiologist in America is? 2-1/2 months. A lot of other countries don't wait as long to see a cardiologist. The idea that you point to another country and say they failed on this statistic—that we’re not also failing—that is a problem.

If having the FBI comb through the Epstein files to prevent the world from discovering that you are, in fact, a pedophile isn’t grounds to remove a sitting President and his entire administration, then I don’t know what is.
NEW: I have obtained descriptions of NINE FBI training videos showing agents were instructed to flag Trump's name in the Epstein files for supervisory review. My latest:

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety?
Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

This gives me hope. An honorable woman, an incredible gifted journalist, and an accomplished lawyer, fighting trump’s regime. Let’s all be Katie Phang in order to rescue our country, from pedophiles with money and power. American women are strong. @KatiePhang makes me proud of my American sisters. You go girl.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf.
For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders.
An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

He’s apparently not aware that San Diego is a military city that’s home to the Navy Seals and the west coast home of the Marines. No one hates the troops more than maga.

Rosie O’Donnell: “I think the answer to why we are not seeing all the files is Donald J. Trump. As we all know there’s more than enough evidence, witness testimony, and dead women to accentuate the need for the DOJ to open it up, but they won’t because they’re all sycophants. He is a very sick man, he is a very dangerous man, and November 3rd democracy itself is on the ballot. If you care about women getting raped, the Cornell 7, every survivor standing behind me, and every child like I was who was sexually abused, you need to use your voice today. You need to get everyone you know out to vote. It’s not that the fascists are coming, the fascists are here. This is an emergency. I will stand with these women until it is all finished and the powerful men end up in prison where they belong including our president Donald J. Trump”

BREAKING: "I'm interviewing you!" Fox News host panics after Abdul El-Sayed walks into the lion's den and totally destroys her MAGA narrative with confidence and charisma.
This is an absolute master class in messaging...
"I think there is this argument that you try to make often, which is that the best way to take this problem on is just more war," El-Sayed said during a sitdown interview with far-right hack Martha MacCallum. "And how has that worked out for us?"
"So what's better? Wh— What's the best way to protect our national security?—" she replied.
The reality is that America has not been made safer by these endless forever wars and we commend El-Sayed for bluntly saying as much to millions of Republican viewers. This Iran War in particular has nothing to do with America's national interests and everything to do with the regional interests of an expansionist Israeli state.
"We spent trillions of dollars. Trillions of dollars!" said El-Sayed. "The war in Iraq, which on this channel they spent years and years—"
"No I'm asking you how would you have responded—" MacCallum interrupted, trying to wrest back control of the conversation.
"Can you answer my question?" El-Sayed patiently asked. "I just want to understand, has that made us safer? Are we more safe because of the war in Iraq? Are we more safe because of the war in Iran? And I think the argument here is always more war. You got folks like Mike Rogers, who I'm running against, his argument is always there's a war for that. And you know what we end up paying for that? Trillions of dollars. Thousands of lives of our servicemen and women. Lives that were lost on the battlefield. Lives that are being destroyed because they're defunding the VA as we speak. And we're paying more for all of this in energy costs, more at the grocery store. So do we really think that we should be more war?"
"Well, you know... We all know that the reason that we went to war in... In Afghanistan in particular was because we had thousands of Americans who were slaughtered just a few blocks from here," said MacCallum, dodging the thrust of his question.
"Understood. And I understand that," said El-Sayed, who had not mentioned Afghanistan or 9/11.
"Would you have not done that? You wouldn't have responded?" she asked.
"No, my point is about the war in Iraq. And the war in Iraq was one of those wars that because we had had a war in Afghanistan and Iraq was like next door within the same region, we're like why don't we just go to war there too?" said El-Sayed, cutting through her BS. "And folks sitting in these chairs were justifying that. And now we have the war in Iran. And they told us it was a—"
"But war is always controversial," MacCallum inanely replied.
"No, but my point is it's not that it's just always controversial. It's that you're trying to make the argument that somehow more war is exactly what we need right now," said El-Sayed. "And I'm just saying that more war is not what Michiganders need."
"I'm not arguing that we need more war," insisted MacCallum. "I'm arguing that you have to defend American national security."
"You haven't told me where you stand on the war in Iran. You seem to be a fan of it," he shot back.
"I'm— I'm interviewing you!" whined MacCallum. "I'm not saying I'm a fan of the war. I'm giving you... Umm. I'm explaining that there is an argument to be made that it will make the United States safer."
"And you're making that argument, right?" said El-Sayed. "I'm just telling you what Michiganders are telling me. I've talked to Michiganders of all stripes, Michiganders who supported Donald Trump on the idea that he was America first. And that he wasn't going to take us to war. And that he was not going to waste our blood and our treasure on yet another war. And here we are, eight months later, and we're still at war. And the argument that he was making is exactly the argument that you were making, which is that there are threats out there. Sure."
"There are threats out there," she said.
"My question is, does more war make more or less threats?" said El-Sayed.
The answer, of course, is "more threats." Every time the United States bombs or helps Israel bomb a hospital or apartment complex, we create more enemies. Every time our weapons kill someone, we turn their family and friends into our sworn enemies. You cannot bomb your way to peace, no matter what Republicans claim. And the truth is that they're not interested in peace. Fox News ultimately serves the corporate interests of the military-industrial complex which relies on constant conflict to generate shareholder returns.
Democrats should follow El-Sayed's lead: ignore the culture war distractions and focus on the real issues. Donald Trump's pointless, failed war is draining our country dry.
Please like and share if you're a big fan of El-Sayed!

After this "president" has dropped countless F-bombs, told his supporters to "cheat like hell," and said "we're gonna shove it up their ass," I don't want to hear ONE Republican hypocrite bitching about "decorum."

These ICE cucks get OWNED. Administrative warrant is NOT THE SAME as a judicial warrant.
Look at jr on the left posing as a sheriff. Young buck still in high school!
Here are the facts:
That distinction can matter enormously under the Fourth Amendment. For example, an ICE administrative arrest warrant such as Form I-200 or I-205 generally does not give ICE authority to enter the nonpublic interior of someone’s home without consent. A judicial warrant signed by a judge can provide entry authority when its legal requirements are satisfied.

Meet convicted felon and MAGAt Sara Polston, who was hauled back to an Oklahoma prison on October 2, 2026 for voter fraud. Despite Donald Trump’s endless, deafening screams that "stolen elections" and voter fraud are a radical left-wing conspiracy to rig the system, this textbook case of actual, documented voter fraud comes straight from a registered Republican.
While out on a highly controversial early-release GPS monitoring program after serving just 73 days of an eight-year sentence for a catastrophic 2023 DUI crash, this well-connected GOP insider allegedly couldn't resist manipulating the ballot box. New felony charges reveal Polston explicitly flouted the law by illegally voting in both the June 16 Republican primary and the August 25 runoff election. Local election records confirm her fraudulent Republican registration passed right through the county office, and investigators used her own court-mandated ankle monitor GPS data to track her directly to her Norman polling place on both election days.
Polston didn't just stumble into this freedom; she bought it. The prominent Republican couple has funneled upwards of $27,000 in political donations directly to GOP Governor Kevin Stitt’s campaigns, sparking a massive multi-county grand jury investigation that explicitly blasted her early release as a product of "rank political favoritism". While Donald Trump pointlessly hunts for phantom left-wing fraudsters, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is busy prosecuting a real one—proving that no matter how much money you feed into the Republican machine, nobody is above the law.
