SCOOP: Blanche personally charged small-fry Nevada ‘voter fraud’ cases
All four of the cases were misdemeanors—signed off on by the AG of the United States. That's highly unusual, and an ex-prosecutor who served alongside him in SDNY told me it raises "huge red flags."

When you do vote, will you be voting for Abdul El-Sayed?
Haley Stevens: "Of course, I'm voting, you know, for our Democratic nominee for Senate. I'm voting for the democratic ticket, but I want to encourage, you know, this campaign to shut out the hate and to call it out and to make people who were in my coalition, right, make them feel comfortable about coming to the polls."
Vaughn Sterling retweeted
Haley Stevens will join me tonight at 9 p.m. ET.
NEW from me: With under a week to go in what many polls are showing as a still tight Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed hasn’t called his former primary opponent Haley Stevens in months — and there are no plans for them to campaign together before election day.

Watch Democrat Van Jones on CNN blast the ad for Abdul El-Sayed that echos El-Sayed's words that argues that Americans have to set grocery money "aside for killing Palestinians" because of U.S. aid to Israel.
Jones: "This is an example of anti-Jewish hate, and it should be taken down immediately. And denounce, and by the way, Abdul should denounce this ad immediately."
@ScottJenningsKY adds: "It's economic incoherence wrapped up in anti-Semitism. So it's sort of par for the course. I mean, El-Sayed himself in this campaign has argued we can't have good education in this country because we fund the Iron Dome, which is completely wrong, nuts, economic incoherence. By the way, eggs, like $2.70 a carton, bananas, 40 or 50 cents a pound. It's economic incoherence. It's a lie, but it's all done in service to anti-Semitism. And at the same time, El-Sayed's campaign running ads featuring comments from Tucker Carlson. What is a Jewish Democrat in Michigan supposed to think right now? Why would El-Sayed have to answer these questions? It's a mystery."
David Kramer, a top Democratic fundraiser in Michigan, was chairman of Rep. Haley Stevens’ primary campaign against El-Sayed.
He's voting for Mike Rogers.

We’ve done untold damage to a generation raised on comedian newscasters turning directly to the camera and saying very bluntly “this is what I want you to believe.”

This cuts out the part where the Mother of the Year claimed Acton didn’t live in a tent at one point, which was provably false. Instead it’s just her saying Acton lied about Ramaswamy, with no specifics
Update: there is now a 30 second version of the Vivek Ramaswamy ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Court records confirm Amy Acton's mother lost custody of Acton in 1978. She then helped her husband flee the state and stayed with him until he died a fugitive in 2004.
Therefore, any lies the mother references must have occurred when Acton was 12 years old or younger.

Amy Acton’s estranged mother knew her husband had a daughter from a previous marriage who’d also accused him of rape.
But when 12-year-old Amy told her mom that he was raping her, instead of concluding she was married to a pedophile rapist she concluded both girls were lying.

If you followed the Trump administration's jihad against Anthropic over restrictive terms of use for Claude, then you're not going to buy its Ukraine blame-shifting to Musk -- as if Starshield terms of use are none of the administration's business ... nationalreview.com/corner/no…
