it was a fabulous speech - Biden leaned in... he told America I HAVE been around forever...and that's why I'm a good president

and minority rule works when majority loses sight of its super power - we are the majority…iN WI, organizers asked for every vote, donors around the country funded it, and training was strong…Dems can always if they organize, support their young foot soldiers, and commit early

@KariLake
that not only doesn’t she speak for most americans, she doesn’t even speak for most arizonians….i’m worried about her.. does she also think she won the presidency?!?

@HC_Richardson
I think we should appreciate the contrast. This is the best they've got. And their vision: a lady so unhinged..angry and sad...she's permanently on the verge of tears. Poor Wesley? Although he's probably worse...
i love how
@benshapiro
equates activists fighting for human rights with murderers who wanted to kill the vice president….that’s really all you need to know about this morally bankrupt low brow -
Remember, folks, it's a dangerous insurrection when Trump supporters do it, it's an act of bravery and virtue when it's trans activists in Oklahoma or teachers union stooges in Wisconsin
@davidfrum
and….don’t ever ever do another clinton ‘16 in wisconsin…the kids won’t come unless you ask them….they want to be wanted…and when dems support their young gotv groups and bring them into the fold (thank you

) they repay the favor…

jesse waters has super powers - he can look at someone and know if they are documented…wow! or…perhaps it’s just that he thinks anyone with dark skin belongs somewhere else…
There it is! All the election deniers running for Sec State in swing states to oversee 2024 election have lost.
As have similar gubernatorial candidates in MI/PA/WI.
If Hobbs holds on, that would mean a total sweep against Trumpists in key 2024 roles. Was unthinkable on Monday.

“The plan was to make a ‘full-frontal attack’ on the liberal indoctrination of college kids by invading their campuses with free-market ideas. Conversions would be the measure of success.”

Ultraconservative influencers and right-wing youth organizations are delivering ‘radicalism with a smile’ to a college campus near you!

If you’ve been thinking Biden had built up a nice head of steam since his SOTU, but then the campus protests blunted his momentum, you’re one or two steps away from understanding one of the most important asymmetries in politics.
In 2024, a handful of very wealthy right wing men—Leonard Leo, Dick Uihlein, Charles Koch, & Jeff Yass—will target STATE judicial elections in an effort to “make their personal agendas into binding law.” (New report by True North, 4/24/24) 1/
@TheFP
we come up with view points, then we find quotes to support them and write clever seeming stories, we like to play identity politics when it comes to our identity, but shun others for identifying with their own cultural subgroup, if we can align with/ radical right / we do.

Fabuluos speech - Biden spoke truth to MAGA - and about that age thing? Yes, America I've been at this game FOREVER...And that's why you should reelect me. Brilliant.

If you are a conservative you should VOTE EARLY IN PERSON in Georgia. Don’t trust the Election Day madness. Learn from Maricopa and vote early and securely.
Reporters: We hear a lot about voters not caring about democracy....That sounds like an "us" problem.

@Will_Bunch
Most alarming is how much public seemed to be comfortable with that. This is what worries me the most. Norms have shifted. Authoritarian behavior is legitimized. Polls showed majority of Americans wanting protestors arrested. For protesting in America!

@floridademoz
No city in Florida will become a get-out-of-jail-free zone. We are:
- Limiting who is eligible for release before 1st appearance
- Ensuring a judge is the decision-maker on detention
- Requiring pre-trial detention hearing for dangerous crimes
- Rejecting elimination of cash bail

def huge problem - but dems can do better and i have hope they will, they have to dedicate time and money to this - getting through the online news and noise of every day life is hard / dems can do it; but they have to understand they are behind on this and commit TOGETHER

this is the fundamental issue - people who love freedom love everyone’s freedom, people who love power want freedom for themselves, everyone else’s: not so much…

well, money was important…but it’s also tough when people disagree with the candidate’s views on fundamental issues….thats a tricky one in a democracy…..but it’s also why democrats believe in democracy. :/

It's worth noting, that one of the reasons the NYT coverage of the Trump threat to democracy is so infuriating is that when the NYT is good - it is amazing. And we all know that. So, this Trump/democracy blind spot is all the more annoying.
