This is wild. During Obama's incumbent primary in 2012, he got a total of 174,054 votes in Michigan. There were a total of 194,887 votes cast in the entire Dem primary. Joe Biden already has over 343,000 votes - with only 46% of the votes in. :-O

Don’t move on until the weight of this has sunk in. In the 30s, Hitler had a large fifth column in the U.S. - sympathizers who wanted him to succeed. It reached fully into the halls of Congress. What we saw exposed today was the tip of a similar iceberg: Putin’s fifth column.

Listen carefully to what Kallas says about American isolationism. Our allies recognize how important we are to global democracy, even if some of us do not. Republicans are abandoning Europe. When your friends are scared and asking for help, you stop arguing and gd help them.

It took years to learn what Clarence Thomas was hiding from his financial disclosure forms, but that’s largely because people didn’t know they needed to look. It’s immediately obvious that Mike Johnson has been lying on his disclosures. How long until we learn what he’s hiding?

A lot of folks are upset that Thomas is being asked to recuse instead of resign, but there is a reason. Loper Bright v. Raimondo is the holy grail for right wing oligarchs like the Koch’s - much more so than overturning Roe. It‘s a killing blow to the administrative state. /1

The FBI labeled Q anon a domestic terror threat. The Republican Party and its donor network actively recruited more domestic terror threats directly into the US Congress. Perhaps that has something to do with why they aren’t saying anything right now.

Previous Michigan Dem primaries: 2012 "uncommitted": 20,833 votes 2016 "uncommitted": 21,601 votes 2020 "uncommitted": 19,106 votes They literally have 20K uncommitted every presidential election year. They set the bar at 10K this year so 20K would look like overperforming.

So far, roughly 21,200 people have voted uncommitted Democratic ballots -- outstripping organizers' 10,000-vote goal. From what I can tell, that is with few to no votes added yet from Wayne County, let alone Dearborn.

This is an amazing find. I cannot overstate how important this is. Rich Higgins was an intel officer when Mike Flynn was in Afghanistan. He died from Covid in Feb. Here he is talking to Ginni Thomas about running psy ops against the American public. So much more to this story.
Rich Higgins’ own words, describe the psyop to overthrow American democracy was planned and how Mike Flynn & his protégé, Ezra Cohen-Watnick were at the center of it all. Higgins explains here who they target & how w/a goal of eroding people's sense of self.

Outrageous. Two days after the insurrection SCOTUS quietly took up a case by a Koch group, AFPF. Koch’s AFPF argued that it is unconstitutional for the govt to require them to regularly disclose their donors. Thomas ruled in their favor. Now we learn he helped them fundraise.

Before this, Trump said that, because he is being prosecuted, if he loses the election, “there will be bedlam in the country,” and “it’s the opening of a Pandora’s box.” He is trying to scare people into not voting. Don’t be swayed. Your vote is more important now than ever.
