Nearly every federal candidate in the U.S., as well as super PACs, filed paperwork to the Federal Election Commission detailing their fund-raising and spending before a Saturday night deadline, allowing for the most complete picture in six months of the money coursing through U.S. politics.

ICE teargassed a CHILD in #Portland during a peaceful protest yesterday
Federal agents were seen on the roof of the Portland #ICE facility shooting teargas into the peaceful crowd to create violent images for the Trump regime to justify their presence
No American should tolerate this 🤬

Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you — however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:
Thanks to @govpritzker.illinois.gov for setting up the Illinois Accountability Commission to document the abuses of Trump and Stephen Miller's invasions of cities. And thanks to @vermontgmg.bsky.social for this detailed testimony about CBP's history and culture: drive.google.com/file/d/1o4z6...

Two days ago, the president used his social media platform to endorse this "phenomenal candidate" and to urge "all America First Patriots" in the district to get out and vote for her.
Today, he says he doesn't know anything about it and had nothing to do with it.
He's lying or demented or both.
