I went doomscrolling for "news" and found this clip from Republican Senator Ted "I fucking suck" Cruz.
"I fucking suck":
I want to tell you a risk that you may not have focused on. It's an aspect of how the Senate operates.
If, God forbid, this guy gets elected to the Senate, when you get elected to the Senate, there is no security clearance process. Done. You are granted the highest level security clearance simply by virtue of being elected to the constitutional office of being a senator.
If Abdul El-Sayed becomes the senator for Michigan, there is absolutely nothing to stop Chuck Schumer from placing Abdul El-Sayed on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has access to our most closely guarded secrets. And if I am correct that he is a passionate supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, there is a very real risk that Americans will die as a result.
We have American servicemen and women in harm's way fighting Muslim Brotherhood terrorists right now.

"I fucking suck" is not alone in trying to pain El-Sayed as a jihadist terrorist...
Tim "I fucking suck too" Scott:
Mike Rogers, thank God Almighty, Mike Rogers is running because Abdul El-Sayed might just be the most radical, dangerous, and weird candidate of them all.
Abolish ICE, defund the police, open the prisons, open the borders.
And his family, they don't just flirt with terrorism. They actually helped fund Osama bin Laden.

At the same time, many of the clowns left in the Republican Party are painting an American as the number one sponsor of terror. Our government is doing this...
Breaking news: Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived in Miami from Ecuador, after he defied a Brazilian judicial order to surrender his passports in connection with a corruption and money-laundering investigation. https://t.co/56SV6QiY0X

Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro arrived Wednesday in Miami from Ecuador, after he defied a Brazilian judicial order to surrender his passports in connection with a corruption and money-laundering investigation.
Bolsonaro lost Sunday’s election to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Within two days, speculation about his whereabouts had begun. The son of former president Jair Bolsonaro is under investigation over ties to a banker accused of financial misconduct and to a man suspected of money laundering.
On Tuesday morning, he missed the Brazilian Supreme Court’s deadline to surrender his passports.
A senior State Department official said Bolsonaro and his family had been granted visas allow them into the United States.

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice ordered a police investigation into alleged ties between a donor network co-founded by Vice President JD Vance and the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro in the run-up to Sunday’s election. https://t.co/nkELhIoVen

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Tuesday ordered a police investigation into alleged ties between a donor network co-founded by Vice President JD Vance and the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro in the run-up to Sunday’s election.
Supreme Court Justice Flávio Dino directed the Brazilian federal police to investigate the “nature” of the contacts between the Rockbridge Network, which was founded in 2019, and any Brazilian companies or political operatives to aid or finance Bolsonaro’s run.
It’s a crime in Brazil for a political candidate to accept funding or other campaign assistance from a foreign source.

Rockbridge denied any such contact.
Vance has spoken at Rockbridge donor gatherings as recently as a year ago. His office on Tuesday declined to comment.

RBC-Ukraine (10/28/2026): Putin boasts of Russia's Starlink alternative, claims contact with Musk
Russia maintains close contacts with the United States in the space sector, including with SpaceX founder Elon Musk, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
The Kremlin chief noted that Rassvet was a "Russian equivalent" of Starlink, adding that these were Russia's "first steps" in this field.
"We work closely with our American partners, including Mr. Musk, because in orbit it is very important not to interfere with one another and to maintain a certain level of discipline and order," he said.
Putin also called Musk a genius, noting that SpaceX had put thousands of Starlink satellites into orbit.

What the fuck is even happening here?
Everything always traces back to corruption plus racism. That's it. That's what the fuck is happening here.
