1st world problems.
As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"
- Donations dried up
- Volunteers were devastated and pleading for guidance on what to do
- Reporters hounded me with calls to drop out
Sure, a point was proven. Polling is broken. But tens of thousands of people poured their hearts, time, energy, hard-earned money into something they believed in - for a year-and-a-half, and it was treated like a game. Our volunteers gave their all. And then some. I felt like I had let so many of them down.
To be extremely clear, Michigan Democrats are locked in to beat Mike Rogers. We WILL send @AbdulElSayed to the US Senate.
But between crap like this, endless fundraising texts that drive supporters away with spammy fake deadlines and trash "match" claims, scam PACs run rampant for firms to grift without actually supporting candidates, undisclosed content creators pushing content out either misrepresenting themselves as residents of states they don't live in or hiding whether they were paid and by who so they could make a buck, and the tidal wave of dark money ads -- I hope Democrats are ready to blow up the system with campaign finance and transparency reforms.
Trust is already at an all-time low. We don't get out of this mess without rebuilding trust.
And media - who loves to ride the drama of a pollercoaster - needs to take a hard look at what's legitimate and what's not.
If this teaches us anything - DON'T GET COMPLACENT AND DON'T TRUST THE POLLS.
LOCK IN. SIGN UP FOR A CANVASSING SHIFT. LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANCE OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

The same data from Japan, Australia, and South Korea also debunks the idea that gun restrictions will have any impact whatsoever on suicide rates.
But, facts and data mean nothing to people who operate on pure emotion.
Mexico has some of the strictest gun laws in the world.
Civilians are banned from carrying, and are limited to .380 or smaller for handguns, and only hunting rifles and shotguns.
Mexico has 1/3 our population.
Mexico has 2-3x our gun murders.
Mexico debunks gun control.

We did that once.
Sent our personal guns over to help protect a Euro nation.
They repaid us by throwing the guns in the ocean afterwards rather than send them back.
So what I'm saying is... Good luck with that.
How fast can America get guns into the hands of the righteous Europeans? Dead serious question. Screw their governments.

Lisa, we’re done. You don’t get to talk public policy anymore.
Your bloodlust for lawfare has cost you credibility.
I hopped on the train from Chicago back home to Michigan. I break down why I’m focused on the idea that we should speed up trains between Chicago and Detroit, and Detroit to Toronto!
In Michigan we love our cars and driving, but taking the train is a great way to travel, and we can make it better.

Politicians drop their pretenses when they face no sanction for doing so.
She will be rewarded, not punished, for advocating this- by her party, by voters, and by the political class.
ON UCHICAGO CAMPUS: U.S. Senator from Michigan Elissa Slotkin hopes planned political prosecutions of republican leaders will scare young conservatives from getting involved in politics.

Or we can just 3D print/ home manufacture and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
Forcing parents to have fingerprint gun safes, force gun owners to carry insurance that increases for every child in the house, gun licensing w same regs as driving.
Kids can't unlock their parents bank account, but gun access is fine?
We have more safety laws about pools.

Gun control groups like @Everytown @GIFFORDS_org and @MomsDemand are not organic, grassroots organizations.
They are not primarily concerned with public safety and welfare.
They are funded through dark money channels by billionaire activists and globalist NGOs that have one agenda:
Disarmament.

When the grift waters get shallow, they really convey that they wanted a higher body count as they get a small handful of donations after such an event to supplement the Bloombucks.
He stopped the shooter, but he didn't stop the shooting. That's the difference. Three kids and their teacher were already dead, and an unarmed teacher had tackled him first. YOU spent decades blocking laws that keep guns away from kids. Now you're taking a victory lap? Fuck that.

Mexico is far more violent than most of the United States. It’s a shithole too, that’s why 25% of Mexico lives in the United States. The rich areas of Mexico City are safe…. No way!!! Other than Mexico City and Cozumel, the cartels control the rest of the 3rd world dump.

Dear Half Brain, Your puppet Bloombucks proxy group successfully got OR to change the law to allow school boards to make it illegal with criminal penalties for CHL holders to carry. This dumb board did. Save us the fake tears from you and your corrupt husband. You’re both sick.
Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured.
Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms.
America can do better. It must.

Nice law change you got there. Maybe worry about keeping drugs out of the hands of your own family members (clearly a problem with her and her corrupt husband). You ghouls at the Bloomberg gun ban lobby have no shame…. Blood on your hands.
Police have shared that three children, ages 5, 8 and 11, and one teacher were fatally shot at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. A 7-year-old was also injured.
America's gun violence crisis is killing our babies. Enough is enough.
Community note
Police confirm a community member pursued the 16-year-old shooter into the school and fatally shot him before officers arrived, ending the attack. The district banned CHL carry on grounds via SB554, which Giffords supported.

Shout out to Michael and @seanmdav for highlighting the successes of the 2A movement on this episode. Michael is correct about the gun ban organizations and how they operate in bad faith. They are ghouls and disgusting cretins. Nothing organic about their “movement” at all.
WTF is conservatism good for--and what does the term even mean?
@seanmdav of @FDRLST and I have an intense discussion about whether America can be saved, and what that would even look like (and is the midterm blue wave real)?
Episode drops in an hour!

This scummy puppet organization pushed to amend Oregon law to allow school districts to ban CHL holders from carrying in schools with criminal penalties. Nice going…you are complicit.
BREAKING: A shooting has been reported at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon.
Our hearts are with the terrified children and the families anxiously waiting to hear that their loved ones are safe. We cannot keep accepting this as a fact of life.

The NFA is unconstitutional.
For 90+ years, this law has infringed on Americans’ Second Amendment freedoms.
So, I took a sledgehammer to it through budget reconciliation—and won.
But our work isn’t over.
Now we must fix state laws—including here in Georgia—so all Americans can freely and fully exercise our recently restored 2A rights.
Let’s celebrate this historic victory & keep up the fight until the job is done.

These cons lie about everything. The gun ban lobby is nothing but a shell group of largely unstable misfits who basically get welfare from an arrogant billionaire instead of working for a living.
🚨 JUST IN: The ATF is allowing silencers, short-barreled rifles, and “sawed-off” shotguns to be bought or made without a background check nationwide, following a Texas judge’s ruling. The agency’s sweeping move dismantles longstanding safeguards and puts lives at risk.
Community note
ATF guidance states NFA registration/approval requirements for these items are not being enforced but standard GCA background checks (Form 4473 and NICS) remain required for dealer transfers.

🚨 This is significant.
We no longer have universal injunctions, but this statement in the FAQ section by the @ATFHQ is about as close as one gets. 👇

Update from Sheriff Mike Murphy of Livingston County. In his public statement to the corporate press, he demonstrates how ignorant he is when it comes to the Michigan Firearms Act and the 4th Amendment. He’s making up nonsense.
Livingston County Sheriff Deputy illegally seized a pistol under a law that he and his boss made up out of thin air. so now they’re being sued by us and Outside Legal Counsel PLC. Guess they gotta learn the hard way about so called “registration” here. cdn.fbsbx.com/v/t59.2708-21/…
