Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, heās a fighter for our American Democracy, and heās a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. Thatās why Iām in his corner 100%.

I know @HaleyforMI way better than most people on X. She and I came into Congress together in 2018. She was co-Prez of our freshman class. She was incredibly kind to me when my late partner died; she organized a big group of our class to come to the House floor to support me when I spoke about his suicide. We were roommates in 2023, after my wonderful first roomie lost her election; both my adult kids know Haley well and are on a texting basis with her. Weāve socialized and we have good friends in common. While she and I differ on one impt issue, specifically Israel and AIPAC support, Iāve never publicly challenged her on those things, because I felt that her good points outweighed the issues I disagreed with her on. Today, that changes. š
Haleyās endorsement of Rogers in the MI senate race is appalling. Not because heās a Republican, but because what he stands for is what she, and I, and our caucus has fought so hard against. Rogers is a 100% anti-choice politician. He is a Trump loyalist. Heās shown his Islamophobia in his many remarks against @AbdulElSayed, and with this endorsement, Haley has shown that she agrees with his positions. Iām shocked by Haleyās endorsement. Iām terribly sad and disappointed. Iām furious and will be more so if we lose the MI senate race. So many people in the Democratic Party have shown so much support to Haley over the years, and she has betrayed them all. If this is because of her new relationship (about which many of us were so happy for her after she lost the primary), all I can say is that any woman who abandons her friends when a new guy comes along is no friend at all. The fallout for Haley wonāt just be in Dem politics; she will be a pariah among her friends in the Democratic caucus in Congress. Only she will be able to decide whether it was worth it.

That is exactly what I want to hear and how I want It said.
HAYES: You really seem like you don't like the guy.
OSSSOFF: I don't like bigotry. I don't like the Klan. I don't like neo-nazis. I don't like sitting members of congress who allow neo-nazi propaganda to be produced from their house. I don't accept that a sitting member of congress should appoint people to leadership roles in his political organization, with documented ties to the Ku klux Klan. It's not just the folks around Mike Collins, it's Mike Collins himself.

The bigger story is that the richest man in the world helped the Paxton campaign spread a completely made up story about his opponent and no one will face any consequences
Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico's viral hospital rumor has been debunked by time-stamped security footage reviewed by The New York Times ā but the bigger story may be why his campaign sat on the evidence while the conspiracy theory exploded across social media for days.
Talarico disappeared from the campaign trail for nine days in early October, fueling rampant speculation that he had secretly traveled to an Ohio behavioral health center. His campaign maintained he was home with the flu, and security camera images from his Austin home now back that up. But GOP strategists and journalists are torching the campaign's response as "mind-numbing malpractice" for not releasing the footage sooner.
With Election Day just weeks away in one of the biggest Senate races in the country, the question has shifted from where Talarico was to why his team let the narrative spiral unchecked when they had the receipts the entire time.

James Talarico's closing statement:
You may have noticed that I haven't talked about my opponent at all tonight, because I don't want people to vote just against Ken Paxton. I want them to vote for me. I want them to know my values and my vision.
But we are running against the most corrupt politician in Texas. Since taking office, Paxton has increased his net worth by $27 million. He now owns 15 homes. We have an opportunity to defeat him and this entire corrupt system.

Son, lawyer up.
My final statement regarding the @JamesTalarico and @LindnerCtrHope situation:
Iāve made all the recordings publicly available on my š account so everyone can listen and draw their own conclusions.
Frankly, this entire situation has been blown completely out of proportion.
Here are the facts: I contacted the medical facility after receiving a tip suggesting that Talarico might have been a patient there.
During that conversation, I pressed an employee for information, and the employee ultimately stated that Talarico had been discharged from the facility within the previous 24 hours.
Approximately 12 hours later, the Lindner Center issued an official statement contradicting what its employee had told me, denying that Talarico had ever been a patient at the facility.
Thatās where the facts stand.
I reported what I was told, released the recordings in full, and acknowledged the facilityās subsequent denial.
I have no independently verified evidence establishing that Talarico was ever a patient there.
Iām not going to speculate beyond the information available or continue fueling a controversy based on an unverified claim.
As far as Iām concerned, this matter is closed.
Itās time to move on to more substantive issues facing voters.
From now until Election Day, my goal remains clear: to do everything within my ability, in whatever capacity possible, to help elect @KenPaxtonTX as the next United States Senator from the great state of Texas.

I'm sorry you're frustrated. Analysis after analysis lists examples of people with tens of billions in wealth who've paid little or no taxes over many years. Here's one of many.
I can't speak for others, but I am not remotely jealous of wealthy people. I'm fortunate to be one myself. I have absolutely nothing against billionaires. I applaud their success. I'd just like them to acknowledge the obscene wealth gap in our society and torecognize that their wealth is built on the shoulders of all Americans, not just their own hard work and brilliance.
Alex, I really appreciate the debate, and I'm going to let you have the last word. I have lots of other things to do, as I know you certainly do! Thank you for engaging.

A camera that only sees one column of pixels at a time turns out to be the perfect way to photograph a streetcar.
Daniel Lawrence Lu stood by the Muni tracks for three hours with a line scan camera, capturing about 10,000 one-pixel slices a second as each tram rolled past.
Since the vehicle paints itself onto the frame, there's no perspective at all. The trams come out flat and dead-on, like the elevation drawings an engineer would make, while the background smears into stripes. And people don't blur either.
