@DC_Thucydides @REALANGLGRL @EWErickson it is NOT false. it was stolen what happened to rudy is irrelevant and I have a feeling he is going to be proven correct in the long term Why are you ok with them LYING about a water pipe break, getting poll watchers to leave, then counting ballots stored under a table?

If the Georgia Republican Party spent as much time getting out the vote as it did manufacturing grievances against the Republican Governor of Georgia, they might not be on such a losing streak right now.

This is insane. A 9:52pm order demanding an update by 7:30am? In what world does Judge Reyes seriously believe it will be possible to get a responsive answer from the client by then? This kind of stuff just smacks of performativity and bias, especially given how low stakes it is.
Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney

JUST IN: Judge Reyes has demanded a Trump administration response by *7:30am* and a hearing at 8am on a claim that Trump is pursuing major redevlopment of DC-based golf courses, despite assurances that no work was underway.

@EWErickson well, you have to admit Governor Kemp has been a shitty governor. He did absolutely nothing about the stolen 2020 election. He could have done more.

GRAHAM PLATNER: RELEASE THE RECORDS After three days of exposing the lies, it's time for transparency. Graham Platner has made his military service, his veteran status, and his "working-class oyster farmer" identity the centerpiece of his Senate campaign. So prove it, Graham. Release the records. Every veteran candidate releases their DD214. John Kerry did. John McCain did. Tammy Duckworth did. Dan Crenshaw did. Your DD214 would show your exact deployment dates and locations (you claim 3 Iraq tours + 1 Afghanistan), your awards and decorations, your Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and rank progression, your character of discharge, and the reason you left the Maryland Army National Guard in 2016. Release your DD214, Graham. You claim 100% VA disability and you've made it central to your "working-class" narrative. Your VA rating letter would show whether you have 100% Schedular or TDIU (Total Disability Individual Unemployability), your specific disability percentages per condition (PTSD vs. physical injuries), whether your rating is "Permanent and Total," whether you're classified as "unemployable," the effective dates of your ratings, and whether your rating has ever been appealed, challenged, or reduced. If you're claiming you're unemployable (TDIU), how are you running for U.S. Senate? If you have 100% Schedular (no income restrictions), why did your campaign say you avoid income to protect your benefits? Release your VA rating letter, Graham. And while you're at it, release your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) records. Veterans with 100% P&T VA disability often qualify for SSDI as well. If you're receiving SSDI on top of your VA disability, that would explain why you avoid income from the oyster farm. SSDI has strict income limits in 2026: you cannot earn more than $1,690/month ($20,280/year) or you lose your benefits. Average SSDI is $1,624/month ($19,488/year). Maximum is $4,130/month ($49,560/year). If you're receiving both VA disability and SSDI, your total disability income could be $77,088 to $107,160 per year before Amy's campaign salary. Are you collecting SSDI, Graham? Release the records. You campaign as a "working-class oyster farmer" but there's no public record showing you own the farm. The ownership agreement would show who actually owns the oyster farm, what's the equity split between you, Amy, and Rob Cushman, how much you paid for the farm (if anything), whether the Cushman family has financial stake beyond Rob's partnership, and any loans or grants used to acquire or operate the farm. There is no deed, no sale record, no transfer documentation in the Hancock County Registry showing you bought this farm from Jock Crothers. Release the ownership agreement, Graham. Prove you own it. You worked in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2018 as a State Department security contractor for Constellis, the successor company to Blackwater. Then you came back to Maine and ran for Senate as an "anti-war progressive." Your Constellis contract would show your exact role and responsibilities, how long you worked there, how much they paid you (private military contractors in Afghanistan made $100,000-$200,000+ in 2018), and your performance records. You chose to go back to Afghanistan in 2018 as a private contractor after leaving military service "disillusioned" in 2016. Release the contract, Graham. Show us what Blackwater's successor paid you. You claim the farm "doesn't make much money" and you're "working-class." Your tax returns would show the profit/loss history of the oyster farm, how much personal income you take vs. reinvest, your wife's salary vs. your draws, and your total household income (which we already know exceeds $100,000 from campaign salary + VA disability alone). Release your tax returns, Graham. Your campaign was packaged by Fight Agency and Morris Katz (NYC political consultants). Bernie Sanders endorsed you 11 days after you announced. You raised $1 million in 9 days. Detailed campaign spending would show how much went to NYC consultants vs. Maine operations, how much went to family members (we know Amy gets $43,200/year), how much is self-funded vs. small donors, and any coordination with national progressive groups. Release the detailed campaign spending, Graham. You claim you left the Maryland Army National Guard in 2016 for PTSD treatment in Maine. The exit documents would show whether it was medical separation vs. voluntary separation, any administrative documentation, and whether you were discharged or you chose to leave. Release your National Guard exit documents, Graham. Here's the bottom line: You've made your military service, your veteran status, your disability, and your "working-class oyster farmer" story the reason Maine should send you to the U.S. Senate. Prove it. Every claim you've made can be verified with documentation that you control. Release the records, or admit you're hiding something. Other veteran candidates release their DD214s. Other business owners release their ownership agreements. Other Senate candidates release their tax returns. Why won't you, Graham? After three days of exposing your $200,000 from your lawyer father, your business partner whose family owns islands, your recruitment by NYC political consultants, your $100,000+ household income from campaign donations and VA disability, and your work for Blackwater's successor company, your word isn't worth much anymore. The records will tell the truth. Release them. Release your DD214. Release your VA rating letter. Release your SSDI records. Release the oyster farm ownership agreement. Release your 2018 Constellis contract. Release your tax returns. Release your campaign spending breakdown. Release your National Guard exit documents. Or admit you're not who you claim to be. Maine voters deserve transparency. You're asking them to send you to the U.S. Senate. Prove you're fit for office. Release the records, Graham. @SenatorCollins

🚨 BREAKING: “Death to America” Comes to @virginia_tech At Virginia Tech tonight, Mohamed Abdou opened his “Death to the Akademy” speech by declaring, “We are in a war, a racial religious war since 1492.” He told students America is “the larger monster,” praised “General Sinwar,” called October 7 the “blessed day of Al-Aqsa Flood,” and said jihad can mean defending life “using the sword.” Then he praised students as “a branch of the resistance” and said they were recognized as “a branch of the mujahideen.” And when he explained “Death to America,” he was explicit. “When we say Death to America, we mean, and loud and clear, a total end to U.S. empire. The destruction of this crusading settler colony, their entire project.” Virginia Tech spent the last few days insisting this event was not happening. It happened. And this is what was said. Stick around, because there is a lot more to unpack. We are not even halfway through his speech yet.

@Brendan_m_Hodge Perhaps he should practice what he preaches, and voluntarily “turn away from” his sin of invasion, by renouncing his citizenship voluntarily, & do penance by self-deporting. How refreshing it would be for an official of the Roman church to lead by example.

I’ve seen various people posting as if the new bishop of West Virginia were currently in the US illegally: Evelio Menijar-Ayala did enter the US illegally from El Salvador as a teenager in 1990, but he became a legal US citizen 20 years ago in 2006.

Tale of 3 GOP Govs: Gov Landry (LA): Immediately calls special session & suspends May 16 primary Gov Reeves (MS): Immediately calls special session despite their primary already happened in March Gov Kemp (GA): Sry can’t do anything bc our primary is May 16 (same day as LA)
Greg Bluestein@bluestein

Just in: Gov. Kemp won’t cancel Georgia’s May 19 primary or rush to impose new political maps for this year’s elections. But Kemp also signaled to the @ajc that he could still call lawmakers back to Atlanta this year to redraw boundaries for 2028. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/…

It is important to reflect on this moment in American politics. An individual with a Nazi tattoo on his chest, who has expressed admiration for Hamas, promoted antisemites and white supremacists, and told an antisemitic conspiracy theorist he is a “longtime fan”—alongside a series of homophobic, misogynistic, and ableist statements and slurs, as well as comments justifying sexual assault and blaming the victims thereof—is the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate in the great state of Maine. How scary. And how sad.

We were homeless and you opened your doors. Your empathy gave my family the chance to keep going. Now, I am running for Congress to pay it forward and fight for your family the way you fought for mine. We will stand up to billionaires, corporate PACs, AIPAC, and ICE. Join us.

Welp, there you have it folks… A vote for Rick Jackson is a vote for Democrat Senator, Jon Ossoff! So far, Jackson has given $2,500 to the CURRENT Ossoff Senate Campaign. Screenshots included, but don’t believe me, check for yourself: Direct links: 1. Easiest way to see all her contributions at once (searchable/filterable table of every individual receipt): fec.gov/data/receipts/… → On this page, use the built-in search/filter: type “Melody Jackson” or “Cumming” or specific dates (e.g., 02/19/2025). You’ll see the exact matching rows with transaction IDs, memo notes, etc. fec.gov One additional note, or maybe three….thanks so much to @GuntherEagleman , @Cjpearson and @DC_Draino for your democrat support in Georgia!
