REMINDER: My @FreeBeacon reporting got @ActBlue to boot @andrewcuomo while he was running for reelection as #NYGOV
ActBlue's policies are clear--there is no room for Dems accused of sexual misconduct on it

REMINDER: @ActBlue kicked a teenager who was a Democratic nominee for state legislature in Kansas off the platform because he sent revenge porn when he was *in middle school*
It was clear based on that precedent that @andrewcuomo had to go

New from me @TheSpectator:
The REAL @katieporteroc scandal that literally everyone is ignoring is the fact it took an anonymous instagram account, @DWS________, to do the job that the Capitol Hill press corps *exists to do*

#CA47's @katieporteroc, darling of the liberal media, is having a rough couple of weeks. The congresswoman has recently been accused of: firing an employee who allegedly gave her Covid; using racist language, and fostering a hostile workplace!

These are explosive allegations to be levied against @katieporteroc, yet the general public would NEVER have heard of any of them were it not for @DWS________, an anonymous Instagram account that did the job of the *entire* DC press corps.

Two prior felony convictions on 1st degree burglary of an occupied dwelling in two separate cases, which is a violent crime. Also, has another felony conviction on receiving stolen property.

In a 2019 conviction on 1st degree burglary, a plea deal dismissed 3 counts of felon in possession/firearm & another ct of 1st degree burglary & spun him out on a stayed sentence for the violent crime of 1st degree burglary.
MN is totally serious about gun and violent crimes.

The Indianapolis Star, owned by Gannett, has launched a despicable attack on Diego Morales, the Republican candidate for Indiana SoS. They admit he's a veteran, and still question if he is. #journalism
The Indianapolis Star has often hit new lows under @Gannett's ownership. I never thought they would reach this low -- questioning an immigrant's service when they admit he was honorably discharged.
I've also never seen a newspaper use the definition of veteran as qualifying for federal benefits as the main criterion as a "vet."

That Bloomington case is one of the open felony/other warrants under which Almestica has been jailed, among numerous other cases from Edina, Richfield, Minneapolis and Minnetonka involving multiple burglary, multiple fleeing, auto theft and obstruction.

Huerta had been charged in another case stemming from 2019 on 1st degree burglary (occupied dwelling). He was found incompetent to stand trial in the case. He also recently twice failed to appear at hearings in that case (Nov and Dec 2021).

He was sentenced on Tuesday.
In a downward departure from sentencing guidelines, Miller's 27-month prison sentence was stayed by Judge George T. Stephenson.
He was instead sentenced to probation... DESPITE...

... DESPITE the fact that Miller was charged in another felony assault case in December (occurred Oct. 31) that left the victim with serious injuries.
That case is still open/pending and would have/should have been known to the judge at the time of sentencing.

As you may know, @CrimeWatchMpls is a volunteer effort. All of the research and reporting we've provided for over 11 years has been done for free as a public service -- because we believe people deserve information that's sorely lacking from authorities & mainstream #MNmedia.

Murray was also just charged in July with being a felon in possession of a firearm and vehicle theft.
Charges say he was pulled over for a "minor traffic stop" when it was discovered he was in a stolen vehicle and a loaded gun was found.

Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont, and Wisconsin are holding Congressional primaries today and Georgia is holding primary runoff elections for several House seats.
In Connecticut, Democrats hold all 5 House seats and none are facing primary challengers. Republicans will challenge Democrats this fall in all 5 seats with 2 primaries in 1st and 2nd Districts held today. GOP winners will face Reps. Larson and Courtney respectively in November.
In Minnesota, #MNSen primary elections are being held today. 1st term Democratic Senator Tina Smith face four DFL primary challengers and 5 Republican candidates including former Rep. Jason Lewis who was endorsed by President Trump are running to be their party's nominee.
Ilhan Omar primary challenger Antone Melton-Meaux’s eye-popping $3.2M in #mn05 has gotten a lot of attention, but note that Republican Lacy Johnson raised *$2M* in Q2, mostly in small donations.
In both parties, it seems, money will gush to people challenging Omar.
In both parties, it seems, money will gush to people challenging Omar.
Omar, Melton-Meaux and Johnson combined to raise $5.7M in Q2. That’s nearly TWICE as much as the major #mnsen candidates Tina Smith and Jason Lewis raised combined.
Lacy Johnson’s $2M raised comes with a high burn rate — $1.5M spent. That includes spending $714K on direct mail, and nearly $700K on credit card fees to WinRed, the Republican answer to ActBlue. #mn05
THREAD: Jason Lewis has made one thing clear: all he wants to do is go back to Washington and push an uncompromising partisan agenda – even if it means supporting policies that hurt Minnesota families. #MNSEN

In a recent interview, Lewis was asked if there was anything President Trump has done that he does not support or endorse. Lewis responded by saying, “Well, good policy is good politics. And I agree with his policies, so why would I oppose anything?”

When asked a second time if he disagrees with ANY Trump policies, Lewis said “I’m not going to psychoanalyze everything everybody’s said, everybody’s different. But again, good policy makes good politics and I agree with the policies.”
Translation: no.
Translation: no.
THREAD: Trump is coming to Minnesota this week to break our blue wall and flip our state red in 2020. That can’t happen. We’re launching a #MoneyBlizzard to make sure we have the resources to fight back against his hateful campaign. RT & Donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/moneybl…
Here’s why this is bad news for Dems everywhere: 1) Donald Trump came within 1.5 percentage points (or 44,470 votes) of winning statewide in Minnesota in 2016. That’s the 2nd closest Democratic state in the country after New Hampshire.
Trump almost winning Minnesota was not a fluke.
Minnesota, one of the last bastions of progressivism in the Midwest, has been trending more and more red in the last few presidential elections.
