does this remind you. of anything.
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. https://t.co/c9C7Zm4wsn

I’ve served with Shri in the Michigan House. He is devoid of values, lies with no regard, and treats staff poorly. We can defeat this corrupt AIPAC shill. Please support @DonavanMI13 for Congress.

We're so proud to announce our latest candidate this cycle: @Justinjpearson in #TN09! As Memphis is terrorized by Trump's masked agents & poisoned by Elon Musk's xAI plant, they need leaders that will actually fight back, protect them & deliver the prosperity they were promised.

Detroit Democratic State House member Karen Whitsett, who is running for Detroit City Council, says Charlie Kirk wasn’t a racist:
She pointed to criticism of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who Whitsett says was not a racist: “People say things about people that shouldn’t be said. Like Trump talking about how Kamala wasn’t Black. He wasn’t the only person saying that, but he shouldn’t have said it.”
