Anyhow - congratulations Steve I know you wanted Sayed to win.

I'm fed up with Trump's show. Ironically, El-Sayed won, with a policy that sounded a lot like Trump's "America first" sales pitch. Of course, in Trump's case, it was all a lie.

"you can win...without being Israel's mule"

That was the one cringy part of his speech last night. He said words to the effect "thank you AIPAC, for the opportunity to beat you, twice". He commented on the campaign Rogers waged as one of the dirtiest ever. He told Rogers to go back to Florida, and said something like "we don't want to see your sort in Michigan again." For those who don't know the backstory, Rogers was a carpetbagger. He used to represent Michigan in the House. He left office a dozen years ago, and moved to Florida. He only moved back to Michigan to run for office, presumably because he is a reliable Trump/Israel tool.

The brightest aspect of the election, is the Dems apparently now hold 54 seats in the Senate, vs 48 in 2021. "Bribery" is explicitly listed in the Constitution as grounds for impeachment. There must be a few Repubs left, who are secretly revolted by Trump's brazen corruption, and want to lay down a marker that behavior like his is not acceptable.

Reportedly, two of Trump's DOJ "election monitor" goons went off the reservation.

And there were two instances, in Dearborn and in Flint, in which DOJ monitors communicated with election workers in ways they shouldn't have, said Kimberly Bush, a spokesperson for the Michigan Attorney General's Office. In Dearborn, monitors asked election workers for copies of their training materials and, in Flint, monitors asked election workers questions about their training, Bush said.
