The ADL probably: "It seems that the Coast Guard made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.

In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath."

Seems like the billionaires behind Trump puppet Matt Van Epps are nervous, now dumping mountains of money into attacking Aftyn Behn with absurd fearmongering

Since MTG has resigned, the GOP House majority will go from 219 to 218 come January. There's a TN-07 special election in December that can bring that number to 217.

I just donated $10 to @aftynbehn.bsky.social to flip TN-07 and give the GOP a huge scare! Y'all should do the same!

When I was a kid growing up in Indiana we all made a big show of how ”we don’t claim Gary, that’s part of Chicago”
Yep, it’s funny when you travel and meet people, and somehow every state and region has a funny quirk of hating the place that has the most Black people nearby.
shit, speaking as a missiouri resident, if theres two places republicans despise in this state its Kansas City and St Louis

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Hey @philinvestigates.com - is anyone going to ask van epps if he agrees with the president that people who advocate that the military remember their oath and not obey illegal orders should be executed?

Seems like important information voters should know before casting their ballot.

Thanks!

Not many young people know this but it is generally pretty unusual for the president to outright call for the mass executions of elected members of the opposition party

Behn: My biggest pet peeve in politics is when people who don’t live in the South say, “You get what you voted for.” I didn’t vote for the highest maternal mortality rate in the country. I didn’t vote for the highest inflationary cost of groceries in the country.

The campaign logos say it all

Aftyn is focused on issues Tennesseans care about. Matt van Epps will just be a rubber stamp for Trump.

We have 10 days to vote early! On Dec 2nd we have a chance to help Aftyn flip another seat!

In the same interview in which she apologized for her role in “toxic politics,” Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene encouraged journalists to interview Nick Fuentes. If you trust her, I don’t trust you.

Let's also keep in mind that since MTG is an avowed hard core coo-coo-bananas antisemite, leaning into Jeffrey Epstein being a supervillain infiltrating the government and controlling all the elites dovetails perfectly with her beliefs.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.
