Trump-endorsed Minnesota governor candidate Mike Lindell holds an active Texas voter registration and none in the state he wants to lead.

Meta is in talks with Anthropic about leasing computing capacity to the AI startup. It’s a move that could put the social media giant in competition with Amazon, Microsoft and Google in a new line of business: cloud computing. https://cnn.it/3T53GVv

“Red state races look 'surprisingly competitive' for Democrats: local expert” Yay, Iowa!

FACT CHECK: Amid his tirade against elections Thursday night, Trump presented a voter registration drive in Michigan in the lead-up to the 2020 election as an example of large-scale voter fraud. However, authorities have said that it didn’t lead to a single fraudulent vote being cast.

Being a family caregiver for a Mom with cognitive decline/dementia while suffering yourself from chronic pain/fatigue/illness is not for the weak—I can’t explain the frustration of having a body that will not do what you want or need it to—doing my best to keep us in our own home while costs rise 😵‍💫

OSSOFF: I heard a president who is, as always, focused on his personal shame and humiliation, and above all, focused on his personal fear of the accountability that will come when we win this fall

Check out our Dino 🦖 potato 🥔 🤓

Made Mom a pork stir fry—wasn’t one of my best creations but it was edible 😂

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

When you're sick, the last thing you should worry about is whether federal agents are waiting outside your hospital room. I signed a law requiring Oregon hospitals to protect patients from federal law enforcement. As long as I’m governor, I'll always fight to ensure you can get the care you need.

Ossoff: In my view, he's obsessed with Georgia because he can't get over the fact that it was black voters and black political power who were instrumental to his defeat in Georgia and in a number of crucial battleground states.

Now this happens near me today, where Ice claims yet another victim. When is it all gonna stop? When we say NO ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Don't let anyone tell us we can't have nice things - like good roads, schools, and health care - as if the world's richest nation couldn't possibly afford it.

Pete Buttigieg in Iowa: Democrats ‘in this moment’ can do it www.thegazette.com/news/electio...

Buttigieg: We gotta get out there and build that new governing vision, not by preaching to the choir, not by only talking to everyone who already agrees with us, but by finding the people who haven’t always voted our way and changing how they see us by showing that we see them.

Buttigieg: You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C., today. The leader of the free world flying around in a secondhand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders.

Have a basil plant doing well this year. We’ve never grown basil nor remember really using it growing up—Maybe it’s a Midwest thing—Of course, it’s probably been in spaghetti sauces we’ve bought over the years. Anyway, I saw it’s often added to goulash so doing that today 🤤

You are so welcome, Stephen!💙✊☮️🐺 And thank you!🙏 Go forth and have a wonderful day. Make someone smile! It's good for you, good for them, and fascists shrivel instantly, like they heard the word empathy or had holy water thrown at them.😁

I think the flood gates of Lindsey’s closet will bust open now & I personally will not feel bad about it. Too many of his words & actions, including votes, were harmful to lgbt 🏳️‍🌈 Americans, as well as everyday citizens—especially once he changed & became so obviously controlled by drumpf.

The Defense Dept. has a rule: Only U.S. citizens or permanent residents can handle sensitive data. Then Microsoft created a workaround that seemed to violate the spirit of this rule, leaving computer systems vulnerable to Chinese government sabotage:

NEWS: Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Iowa Ashley Hinson says her family can barely afford groceries. Her disclosures say she’s worth up to $7M richer since taking office. And the “all my stocks are sold” claim? Also false. The receipts 👇

New Footage of Fatal ICE Nazi's Shooting in Texas Sparks Fresh Outrage. Guess what? Shocking as it might seem, ICE AGENTS LIED. They simply murdered him and then threatened to deport others who witnessed them killing him. ICE IS just like RUSSIA. newrepublic.com/post/212915/... via @newrepublic.com

The sheer injustice in Houston is sickening. Lorenzo was just going to work to support his family when his life was stolen by ICE. Seeing his father on his knees, consumed by raw, agonizing grief, is a heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of systemic violence. He deserves justice.

Really afraid that data centers are going to be final nail in the environment's coffin. When a single one produces the equivalent heat of twenty-three atomic explosions every single day, try to imagine the total heat output of all of them. Not even taking into account usage of water & electricity.

Michigan has logged 1,251 cases of the illness in less than three weeks, immensely more than the average of about 50 infections recorded there annually.

The affordability struggle crosses party lines: about half of all Democrats, Republicans and independents say they are having trouble affording everyday necessities like gas and groceries according to an exclusive new poll conducted for the Guardian.

I am disturbed by the detention of prominent Palestinian doctor, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, and reports that he has been beaten while being held in Israel without charges. He must be released to receive care and be allowed to return to Gaza to continue his lifesaving work. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I wanna talk about a photo for a second: 1. because it's gone viral... 2. But also because of the pushback currently happening. We were all horrified on Saturday after seeing the Patriot Front March in DC on the 250th. But it was a photo that came out later that sparked the most controversy 🧵
