Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy
Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

@rephaleystevens.bsky.social, you are a traitor to the American people, and your farce of a primary campaign is an attack on every single person who lives in the state of Michigan.

How is this even possible? Rep. Haley Stevens, who is running for #MISen, "seemed generally impressed with the staff" at an ICE detention facility, per the @michiganadvance.com.
At the same event, Rep. Hillary Scholten spoke of a man "being kept in a freezing room where he couldn’t feel his toes."

For those confused, Trump/Republicans would strongly prefer Crockett to win the Senate primary bc they don’t think a Black woman has a chance at winning statewide in Texas. They’re terrified of Talarico, who lacked the name recognition to win until CBS tried to censor his interview with Colbert

As Trump becomes more unpopular and the fragile MAGA coalition falls apart, the regime is getting more desperate in its attacks on free speech. Corporate leaders who side with fascists over our freedom of speech are making a bad bet that they will regret. CBS can’t be trusted under MAGA management.
