The California sheriff who last month seized over 650,000 ballots has ties to a movement of radical right-wing local enforcement officials that has embraced election denialism and conspiracism. democracydocket.com/opinion/califo…

@KarlWuckert Boomer here, I’ve never turned on Fox Faux News, but I get the message

Millions of boomers have absolutely no idea Netanyahu might be dead right now because they refuse to watch anything but Fox News.

@marceelias @Meidas_Steve What if it passes

🚨BREAKING: Senate GOP leaders are looking to put the SAVE America Act debate behind them next week by scheduling it for a doomed vote — and MAGA is steaming mad. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/th…

@MalcolmNance @realpublicius Now contrast with Trump

Look folks, reality can sometimes be hard to accept. We all want freedom for Iran. The regime was a horrible, nasty pack of religious zealots for whom terrorism & murder was always the first option. Their revolution started by killing 400 people in a theater with arson & chained exit doors. They sent thousand of kids to their deaths with toy keys around their necks promising entry to heaven if they just walk in to Iraqi minefields. I’ve tracked IRGC terrorism across Iraq, Lebanon, Syria & Yemen and even fought them in the PG, They almost killed me in 1988. The Islamic regime needed/still needs to be destroyed … that said: People are getting upset with why I assess this war will likely fail to topple the regime. Because it is a fantasy based in Trump’s head using lethal tools we prepared for 47 years for the right moment. That moment likely has passed. Trump has no idea what he’s doing. Because he has contempt for the people who know what they’re doing & the history of what came before him. If Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires then Iran is the funeral home of empires. It dresses you up and lays you into the coffin neatly. Then closes the lid. Trump cannot understand why Iran hasn’t surrendered … “Lookit all them bombs,” he shouts “They should all love Trump!” That’s it. That’s the Iran-War strategy. He does not care about the people of Iran. It a score settling grudge match egged on by Netanyahu’s 40 years of promises that war will change the regime if we just drop enough bombs & assassinate its leaders. So If you want to live in a fantasy world where we are suddenly being greeted as liberators by the 93 million Iranians … feel free. You are now set up for earth shattering disappointment. You have to account for the fact that Trump could have attacked in support of the protesters in January. He didn’t & he let them be killed. He was completely indifferent. The 30k dead were a one-day talking point. Right now, none of these attacks will liberate Iran without a populist uprising or invading ground forces. Worse case is a sectarian Civil war. If that happens the only outcome is that it will kill a lot of people, splinter the country & take down the global economy. Trump will sleep soundly & demand he be made Ayatollah. This is literally his mental illness masked as foreign policy This war may give some Iranians hope but it’s a false one. Gird for a horrible chain of dramatic events but rest assured Trump doesn’t care about the people of Iran. He only want its oil. He said so. I’m sorry folks, but my job is to deliver reality based assessments, not promise you sunshine in a swirling hurricane of flying bullets, bombs, excrement & razor wire. That is all.

@AdamParkhomenko @nicbasarab Isn’t she just reassigned?

He fired Kristi Noem while she is speaking live. Lmao

James is a good man and he’ll be a great Senator. Texas, let’s do this.

It’s so obnoxious how these Crockett diehards literally only take is that “shes a black woman and anyone who didnt vote for her is actually racist”. Like are these people even real lmao

Talarico ran the much better campaign. Crockett, despite starting with much higher name ID, ran a nasty grievance campaign with little focus on the issues or persuasion.

Jazmine Crockett career ends after this senate primary loss. She could have stayed in her seat but her ego thought she could win a primary while dissing Latino voters. I’m glad Texas chose the correct person to face Paxton.

It’s been 33 years since a Democrat has held a Texas US Senate seat. James Talarico has the inspirational heart to break the long drought. Texans: you’ve got this.

@DFWJodyDean @AveryBa68752542 I’m from Texas and they weren’t the only polling places changed. Voters need to take responsibility the info was out there. Vote early next time

Crazy that Republicans insisted on changing the polling places in Talarico and Crockett's home counties only, ain't it?

@jmontforttx It wasn’t, and voters need to take responsibility for knowing where and when to vote. The information was out there constantly and early voting would have alleviated the issue.

This is the tomfoolery the Texas GOP unleashed in Dallas Co last night.

@GoldenAgeUnfold Yes, political career over. Private sector

Jasmine Crockett’s fans believe her political career is not over, she will bounce back Big And Better. Do you agree?

@PrincessBravato @jzd67 I live in Texas and there was more than enough time for the notification of the polling places. Vote early next time. Voters need to take responsibility to be informed

Lawsuits need to be filed before the midterms, so Texas doesn't happen again. Polling places need to be clear and people notified in time.

@joncoopertweets @dasguazz Texas here! She is not a class act. She liked to fight and argue about everything. I’m glad to move on

Jasmine Crockett is a class act. 💙

@JasmineForUS @StephenBright You should have done it last night. You stirred this up and attacked Talarico.

This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win. I’m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.

@LqLana @ResistanceInRed If only….she hadn’t attacked Talarico or caused such division. I’m glad she’s gone. Noe we can move forward without her

Texas had two great Democratic candidates. I would have been happy if either won the primary. One brought the fire one brought the calm, both want the things Democrats fight for. I hate when camps get so dug in that they take defeat as a diss. We can't always win. A win doesn't mean a cheat. Let's be honest. Republicans wanted Crockett to win the primary because they felt they could use her to turn out the MAGA vote. They fear Talarico. I'm team Crockett but I'm also a realist and realize now is not the time to stop voting. This was a PRIMARY for goodness sake. We have a lot of work to do if we want to continue to progress Texas. Please stay focused. #DemsUnited

Talarico supporters did not “spend the primary” attacking a Black woman. He ran a clean, polished, positive campaign that appealed to the forgotten, yet majority electorate… common sense, moderates. Your statement is not aligned with truth, it’s just hurt feelings.

Senator Talarico has a nice ring to it. And we’re all-in to make it a reality. Congrats @jamestalarico!

This is a winning message for Democrats and @jamestalarico deserved to win the Texas Senate primary tonight with this message.
