A former bodyguard for Michigan Senate Democrat Abdul El-Sayed says the progressive hopeful farts openly for comedy, pads his résumé, and never left the high school locker room. Jordan Domingue worked as bodyguard and personal assistant on two of Abdul El-Sayed’s campaigns. He has now gone public with a blistering account of the Michigan Senate Democratic nominee’s habits, maturity, and messaging. The New York Post reported Domingue’s posts after Gateway Pundit first flagged them, including the charge that El-Sayed is a “manufactured man.” El-Sayed’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment Sunday. Domingue says he once excused the same conduct out of loyalty. He no longer does. Domingue’s break lands in a race…Open

What specific financial and endorsement details were noted regarding Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate campaign?
The report mentions that El-Sayed collected $9,000 a month from Wayne County taxpayers while campaigning. It also notes that while the Wayne County Deputy Sheriff’s Association endorsed El-Sayed in July, Domingue called this ironic due to what he described as El-Sayed's history of disrespect toward law enforcement.
Q&A ID d7e782fd-d660-4ee9-a839-518c56dc1167
What are some of the specific political associations and past actions of Abdul El-Sayed mentioned in the report?
The report notes that El-Sayed has made the Israel and Gaza war central to his political brand and that Kamala Harris stumped for him in Michigan. It also mentions that he previously co-signed a letter urging Egypt’s Morsi to purge the media and police. Furthermore, separate reporting highlighted a Dearborn fundraiser where El-Sayed was alongside activists who praised Hamas and used rhetoric regarding Jews.

What does Jordan Domingue claim regarding Abdul El-Sayed's communication style and conduct with elected officials?
Domingue described El-Sayed's communication as "double-talk," claiming the candidate would say one thing to one group and something different to another group hours later. Additionally, Domingue stated that in 2017 and 2018, El-Sayed "acted like an entitled mobster to elected officials," a behavior Domingue previously excused as an outsider's hustle but now views as a character flaw.

According to former aide Jordan Domingue, how does Abdul El-Sayed behave in front of his staff and what does Domingue claim this says about his character?
Domingue claimed that El-Sayed would openly pass gas in front of staff without warning or embarrassment as a form of "stand-up comedy," which Domingue asserts is "best explained by the guy who never grew past the high school locker room." Domingue characterized El-Sayed's masculinity as a "performance" and argued that his behavior reflects a lack of maturity.

AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Boulder climate suit against Exxon and Suncor reaches Supreme Court as 26 states push back

Exxon Mobil and Suncor are asking the Supreme Court to toss Boulder’s climate lawsuit, a case 26 states say belongs in Congress and could drive higher gas prices. The City of Boulder and Boulder County sued Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy in 2018 under Colorado public nuisance law, seeking money damages they tie to climate-related […] The post Boulder climate suit against Exxon and Suncor reaches Supreme Court as 26 states push back appeared first on American Almanac .

Exxon Mobil and Suncor are asking the Supreme Court to toss Boulder’s climate lawsuit, a case 26 states say belongs in Congress and could drive higher gas prices. The City of Boulder and Boulder County sued Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy in 2018 under Colorado public nuisance law, seeking money damages they tie to climate-related costs. The companies want the U.S. Supreme Court to end the case, and the dispute is being argued Monday in Washington. ABC News reported that Boulder’s court papers accuse the firms of having “knowingly caused and contributed” to climate change by promoting fossil fuels “while concealing and/or misrepresenting the dangers,” including forest damage from mountain pine beetles. Exxon and Suncor call that…Open

What is the role of Suncor's Commerce City facility in the context of this legal dispute?
Suncor, a Canadian company, purchased the Commerce City, Colorado, refinery in 2005. This facility is described as the state's largest processor of gasoline and jet fuel. Its inclusion in the lawsuit serves as a reminder that the defendants are not abstract targets but are companies that supply the fuel used by Coloradans every day.
Q&A ID 3908a850-5b0a-442f-8fe0-25c5572dabdd
How do officials in Colorado describe the impact and costs associated with the mountain pine beetle outbreak mentioned in the legal dispute?
Officials describe the outbreak as a significant issue where dead timber costs state taxpayers approximately $10,000 per acre to clear to reduce fire fuel. Dan Gibbs, executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, warned that beetle-killed timber burns differently than a green forest, creating fire hazards, recreation issues, and watershed effects. Entomologists have also tied the stressed trees to dry weather and above-average temperatures, noting that the trees lack defenses against the beetles.
Q&A ID 518db907-6f63-45fd-9a5e-8f00c3837ff0
What is the position of the 26 states, including West Virginia, regarding the Boulder climate lawsuit?
West Virginia and 25 other states are backing the oil producers against the lawsuit. Their position is that national questions regarding who pays for climate impacts and under what standards belong in Congress. Michael Williams, the solicitor general of West Virginia, stated that if these suits proceed, the consequences could include higher gas prices and the potential for industries to shut down entirely, arguing that local courts should not be setting the rules for national energy policy.
Q&A ID 207575ab-8cc6-4051-abf7-e6cafa2b23a8
What specific local costs and environmental issues does the City of Boulder and Boulder County cite in their 2018 lawsuit against Exxon Mobil and Suncor?
The lawsuit, filed under Colorado public nuisance law, seeks money damages for costs the city and county tie to climate-related threats. These include millions spent on road repairs, storm drainage improvements, and utility upgrades. Additionally, the complaint points to "forest devastation" caused by an "epidemic" of mountain pine beetles, which officials state has affected more than 700,000 acres in Colorado.

President Trump named intelligence chief Jay Clayton his AI czar and gave him 120 days to weigh the technology’s pros and cons, brushing aside Democrat calls for heavier regulation. In Washington, the president put Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton in charge of a new Super Intelligence Force and ordered a hard look at both the promise and the hazards of the technology. Clayton will lead the effort and deliver his report on a fixed clock. The New York Post reported that Trump is resisting a Capitol Hill push, strongest among Democrats, for tighter controls after public anxiety spiked. The White House is betting on American lead-time, industry self-policing, and a force that can plan for real threats without choking innovation.…Open

Why does Jay Clayton believe it is critical for the United States to be first in the development of super intelligence?
Clayton stated that the risk of not being first is high, as falling behind increases both identified and unidentified risks, particularly from adversaries. He emphasized that being first better enables the United States to address those risks on behalf of the American people and keep American interests first.
Q&A ID fb1fc306-7174-4780-8003-8cda9bad2812
What is Jay Clayton's professional background prior to being named Director of National Intelligence and AI czar?
Jay Clayton is a former Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, former head of the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, and a former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. His background combines capital-markets oversight with big-case prosecution experience.
Q&A ID bc5f0d48-e426-4be3-9d89-9eb68ccad948
What is the "White House Accord on Super Intelligence" and which companies participated in signing it?
The White House Accord on Super Intelligence is an agreement signed by top AI company chiefs following closed-door talks with President Trump. Executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Nvidia, and SpaceX backed voluntary safety standards, including multi-layer controls, audits, and regular meetings on best practices.
Q&A ID ce6add7a-d3c1-4957-8458-5866ef3a1d9f
How did President Trump respond to Democratic calls for heavier regulation of AI technology?
President Trump brushed aside calls for heavier regulation from Democrats, viewing such heavy-handed controls as a "gift to Beijing" that would stifle American innovation. Instead, the administration is betting on American lead-time, industry self-policing, and a force that can plan for real threats without choking competition.

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Justice Alito stands by Dobbs and rejects retirement in rare sit-down

Justice Samuel Alito says he still has work left for the Constitution and feels no regret over Dobbs, even after a leak that put the Court in the crosshairs.

Justice Samuel Alito says he still has work left for the Constitution and feels no regret over Dobbs, even after a leak that put the Court in the crosshairs. Justice Samuel Alito returned to a New Jersey ball field outside Trenton for the first time in 60 years, sat on the bleachers where he once played second base, and delivered a rare, wide-ranging account of his life on and off the Supreme Court. In conversations spanning several hours in his hometown and inside the Court’s formal rooms, Alito told CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford he has no plans to step down, no remorse for writing the majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and no patience for the claim that he is driven by bitterness. The interview…Open

In what specific location did Justice Alito deliver his account of his life to CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford?
Justice Alito delivered the interview at a New Jersey ball field outside of Trenton. This was significant because it was the first time in 60 years that he returned to the field where he once played second base as a youth.
Q&A ID e4c50480-165b-47cf-a230-e92789097ebf
What was Justice Alito's professional background prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court?
Before serving on the Supreme Court, Justice Alito served as a federal prosecutor. Additionally, during the Reagan administration, he served as a Justice Department attorney, during which time he argued 12 cases before the justices. These experiences shaped his view that oral arguments are not "theater" but are intended to assist the decision-making process of the Court.
Q&A ID 5fb5bfa8-fedf-4087-a2d1-f2d73152dd5e
What are the core principles of Justice Alito's judicial philosophy as presented in his book "So Ordered: An Originalist’s View of the Constitution, the Court and Our Country"?
The book defends "practical originalism," which involves applying the Constitution as the framers set it out rather than inventing rights not supported by the text and history. Alito argues that while getting to a majority of five is important, a justice should never sacrifice a principle or adopt a legal rule they believe is wrong just to reach that majority. He also emphasizes religious liberty as a component of human dignity and warns against a "new moral code" that labels people with traditional beliefs as bigots.
Q&A ID 600b7f9c-6abf-45bd-977e-59173e7c5470
How did Justice Alito describe the impact of the 2022 leak of the Dobbs draft and the subsequent security threats to the Court?
Alito described the leak as a "shock" that cast a "pall" over the Court because the responsible party remains unknown. He argued that the leak was intended to change the decision and made the justices targets for assassination. He cited a specific instance in June 2022 where a man attempted to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh in Maryland with a variety of weapons, including a gun and a knife, in an effort to change the outcome of the case. As a result, the justices now travel with protection and have officers at their homes.
