Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
An amazing stat:
Iran exported more oil *today* than it did daily before the war.
It's the one country whose tankers are getting through the Strait of Hormuz.

In the last 24 hours, Iran has:
- Struck three ships trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz, disabling a Thai cargo ship
- Blown up a large oil storage facility in Oman
- Struck two oil tankers at harbor in Iraq, setting both ablaze.
- Blown up oil storage tanks next to Bahrain’s main airport
By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.
Republicans are still stuck at zero.
Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.
Republicans just lost a district Trump won by 17 points- in Texas. That’s not an anomaly, it’s a pattern. Democrats are building on our historic overperformance, and we’re not slowing down. November is coming, and we’re ready. ALL GAS, NO BRAKES!!
GOP president: You can't have guns.
Walz: "I have a strong statement here for our federal government. Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this. It must have the last word."
ICE is DETAINING WITNESSES. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's pure police state tactics.
As I write in new post 👇it's time for free state Govs/AGs/Dem Congressional leaders to rally for the people of Minnesota as Europe rallied for Denmark.
We must come together to act & speak with one, unified voice. The assault on Minnesota must end. Now. 1/

Alliance...what a crowd! People across party lines are fired up for our candidates and keeping Trump accountable for 📉 Ag markets, terrorizing of the people with ICE, and going to other countries taking oil and land rather than taking care of the people. nebraskademocrats.org
I work with state parties every single day. There are only a handful of national leaders who actually raise real money for the year organizing state parties do--Ken Martin (dnc chair), Simon Rosenberg (Hopium), Sen. Warren and Actblue. Come for Simon and you come for all of us.
I'm not interested in arguing with the good people of Minnesota, on the front lines, doing the hard work of protecting our democracy. I've worked hard to bring your bravery and courage to the world in recent weeks on Hopium.
But attacks like this are false, defamatory, and need to end. 1/
But during the course of the AM I/others noted a swarm of inauthentic accounts joining the discourse, attacking me, raising the temperature as they do.
As background I've led countering disinfo campaigns at the national level & know what inauthentic speech looks like. 5/

No one should be surprised that our domestic discourse can be exploited by malicious actors for whatever reason. It's a common, daily occurrence, particularly in moments of crisis/conflict.
I reported more than 40 accounts to @safety.bsky.app and hope they take them down & disrupt the network. 6/
As many of the people who engaged me seem unfamiliar with my work, despite us having 3,000 current Hopium subscribers in Minnesota, I am going to now share some of my posts from this week: 7/

My primary focus all week was on explaining what was happening in Minnesota to my domestic and global audience, and encouraging our elected leaders to do more to support the bravery and courage we were seeing on the streets: 8/

I interviewed and showcased @gregsargent.bsky.social, who has been one of the leading interpreters of the Miller-led terror campaign in Minnesota: 10/

I was arguably the first data-oriented site to write about the polling we got early this week showing the public turning on ICE: 12/

So to the good people of Minnesota on the ground, fighting it out, thank you. We are all inspired by your courage and bravery. Our community has been inspired and wanted to help. So we did, in the way we do things - by supporting candidates and party committees. That's our job in the family. 13/
A few more notes:
I am not a consultant and do not make money from the money we raise. My community wanted to help people in Minnesota and we did the way we do things - we supported the @dfl.org. That's what we do. The assertions of graft here are ridiculous and libelous and need to end. 3/
