AOC too popular, newsome is white and charming to him and also more popular than him. He’s just using illhan as a test to see how much he can get away with before going deeper and deeper with abuse of powers until he gets major pushback. Which probably won’t happen since dems are little bitches and republicans are cucks for Trump.

And straight up: maga talks about Somalians the way you or I wouldn’t talk about a cockroach. It’s so disturbing.

Minnesota has a competitive Senate race. They're trying to reboot the narrative that the Dems there are corrupt.

AOC has been pretty quiet lately. Actually, Newsome has created way more press than her in the last two years. She’ll definitely be a target if Trump thinks she’s getting “mouthy.”
