Timmy Teepell’s firm paid $250,000 by America Next, which has been trying to gin up ‘organic’ opposition to El-Sayed Man who heckled El-Sayed is former Josh Hawley aide, records show The man who attempted to ambush Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed with a question about his supposed allegiance to the Muslim Brotherhood – which El-Sayed parlayed into a viral clip for his campaign – is the son of a political operator who recently received $250,000 for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed, the Guardian has learned. In the now-famous exchange, a man – first identified by the Handbasket as Thomas “Tommy” Teepell – asked El-Sayed if he would “disavow” the Muslim Brotherhood.

South Africa v Australia: second men’s cricket Test, day four – live

* Updates as the Proteas host Australia at St George’s Park * Play start time in Gqeberha is 9.45am local/6.45pm AEDT/8.45am BST * Any thoughts? Get in touch with an email Alright, friends, we’re set for a big one. Day three in Gqeberha saw the biggest turnaround in a Test match since … well, the previous one in this series in Durban. Is Temba Bavuma the Matt Renshaw of South Africa? Many are saying it. That was quite an astonishing day’s cricket, and it leaves the hosts more than 400 runs in the lead, while the visitors have already lost Nic Maddinson for his second duck in three hits, and Scott Boland is going to resume this morning having been the nightwatch in the late gloom. For Australia today, the task is simply to bat and bat and bat. Try to eat up as many overs as possible, while keeping the runs going in order to whittle down that deficit from the imposing proportions that it has now. Do they have the technique and temperament to go long? If they can wipe out day four, then day five won’t pose as much threat, and a draw will mean the visitors at least have the series trophy locked up. But if South Africa’s bowlers can sustain some damage in the way Australia’s couldn’t, trouble looms. Continue reading...
