Between Malinowski and this I’d like to congratulate AIPAC on completely radicalizing everyone on the center-left against their cause. Hope the final 2 years of influence with an increasingly demented Trump pays off.

NEWS — AIPAC is considering a major campaign, expected to be in the tens of millions, to boost Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed, sources tell me and @jennymedina. AIPAC has told allies of the plan. We could just be getting started in Michigan.

It’s only been a few hours since the first viable Muslim Senate candidate won a primary and his GOP opponent is already running ads featuring Osama bin Laden and 9/11. The Islamophobia over the next few months is gonna be vicious.

I spent my life hunting terrorists. I never in a million years thought I’d hear the words, “America deserved 9/11,” but here we are. Michigan — we’ve got a state to save.

I’m old enough to remember when we used to call examples like @AbdulElSayed “The American Dream” Michigander born to immigrants, attends UM, then Oxford on Rhodes Scholarship & Columbia for his MD. His commencement address mentions: “…audacity to believe we can change this world…”

Putting your hand up to participate in democracy is no easy thing. Thank you for running, Congresswoman. Looking forward to uniting this fall to beat Mike Rogers. Because what unites us is so much bigger than what divides us.

I love Michigan and am so proud to have put up my hand to serve. I spoke with Abdul a few moments ago to offer him my full support as we work to defeat Mike Rogers this November. Thank you, Michigan. haleyformi.com/news/haley-ste…

A new @WSJ investigation describes ICE compiling dossiers, issuing subpoenas, and confronting critics. Among those featured is @TheFIREorg client David Streever. His angry email to ICE’s director was harsh, but protected by the First Amendment.

ICE is paying millions to contractors to help them identify and harass citizens that criticize the agency online. Another victory for the free speech @elonmusk @finkd archive.is/MxA88#selectio…

There are plenty of things an incoming coach should have a say over, but this ain’t one of them. Radio guys have nothing to do with the on-court product. They’re ambassadors for the program and probably people you should lean on as a new coach to bridge the gap with fans.

I’ve seen some ridiculous reasons broadcasters have been fired, but we may have hit a new low here. This is just insanely petty and Luke Murray should be ashamed.

It's answers like these than cause many to think if this chef wins the gubernatorial primary in WI, Ds may be cooked.

Mamdani: When we’re talking about a city-run grocery store—one in each borough, which, by the way, you do not need an ID to shop at, no matter what you’ve just heard—we’re talking about addressing the question of skyrocketing grocery prices. We’ve seen grocery prices increase by around 30% in the last six or seven years alone. We’re going to deliver a city-run grocery store in each borough—five in total—that will have the staples of a shopping experience and an essential basket of goods discounted by 30% compared to typical retail prices. That is something New Yorkers will be able to feel in their pockets. They’ll be able to save hundreds of dollars on an annual basis, knowing that the city is looking to actually deliver for them on something that is nonnegotiable in their lives, which is healthy, accessible food.

🚨BREAKING: (CHICAGO SUBURBS) ICE agents pulled a GUN, and a TASER, on unarmed U.S. citizens for recording them from a public sidewalk… while threatening, “you aren’t going to like the outcome.” In the video, legal observers are standing on a public sidewalk recording ICE agents. The agents stop, get out of their cars, and approach THEM. One agent has his GUN drawn, another has his TASER drawn. The agents tell the legal observers to stop following them. A U.S. citizen responds: “We aren’t doing anything illegal. It’s totally legal to follow you.” He is correct. The First Amendment protects the right to record law enforcement, and federal agents, carrying out their duties in public. And federal regulations specifically recognize that people can record publicly accessible federal activity from public sidewalks, and streets, when they aren’t impeding or disrupting operations. Then, the agent says: “Stop following us, you aren’t going to like the outcome.” That is a serious First Amendment retaliation issue. And then it gets even more dangerous. The same armed federal agents, who just threatened these people with weapons and retaliation… surround the citizens’ car and claim THEY are blocking traffic. But look at the video. The only people blocking traffic are the ICE agents… who have now boxed in the citizens’ car. Agents cannot detain someone because they don’t like being watched. A vehicle stop requires reasonable suspicion of an actual legal violation. And recording and observing ICE agents, from a public place, is not obstruction. It is not illegal. Government agents are supposed to be accountable to the people… not the other way around. The First Amendment protects your right to watch and record your government. The Fourth Amendment limits the government’s power to stop and detain you. And neither one comes with an ICE exception.

“Ben Shapiro Left the Entire Panel Stunned With This Explanation of Critical Race Theory.” Bill Maher: You describe it, and then we'll ask,what is Critical Race Theory? Ben Shapiro: I studied Critical Race Theory in law school. At its core, it argues that racism is built into every American institution, and that even "neutral" systems are really tools of racial power. Ben Shapiro: The practical result is this: any racial disparity is treated as proof of discrimination, and schools end up teaching that white students benefit from privilege because the system was built for them. Bill Maher: Right. Malcolm, what's your definition? Malcolm Nance: I agree with everything he just said. Bill Maher: Oh... great! Malcolm Nance: I appreciate him honestly describing what it's like to be Black in America. Those ideas are grounded in truth. We don't talk enough about things like the Scalp Act, the Chinese Exclusion Acts, and other parts of American history. Ben Shapiro: That's not true. We do talk about those things. Malcolm Nance: You don't want them talked about! Ben Shapiro: Malcolm, that's simply false. I've discussed those issues myself. But if you argue that meritocracy is just another form of white supremacy, then you're saying the very system you've succeeded in has to be torn down. Do you believe your success came from merit or not? Malcolm Nance: My great-great-grandfather escaped slavery and fought for this country. He never imagined his descendants would have to argue that history even matters. Ben Shapiro: Nobody is denying that history. The issue is whether Critical Race Theory is influencing policy today. When schools lower testing standards to eliminate disparities, that's an example of those ideas in practice. Malcolm Nance: Can you draw a straight line to that? Ben Shapiro: Yes. One hundred percent. If merit is dismissed as an outgrowth of white supremacy, lowering standards becomes the logical next step. That's why this debate matters.

This is what happens when your government is made up of amateurs, talk show hosts, and deeply unserious people.

Netanyahu: I need $12 billion Trump: Approved Elon Musk: SpaceX needs $4.16 billion Trump: Approved Jeff Bezos: Amazon needs $17.5 billion Trump: Approved Top 1%: We need a $1 trillion tax cut Trump: Approved Average Joe: My wife has cancer. Can we get Medicaid? Trump: Denied

FWIW, a $51M cap is basically a "death sentence of inability to acquire reasonable enough talent of quality to compete vs the rich." You think most Big 12 and ACC schools struggle with the current "cap," This new dollar figure would make it nearly impossible for those schools
