We cannot convince them.
We cannot shame them.
We cannot win them over.
We can only outvote them.
Or, they will rule over us permanently.
Register. Register your friends and your family.
Vote.
Trump supporter: “I think that people are ridiculous that they think Putin is such an enemy. He isn't doing anything. He just wants back what was his”
Reporter: “He invaded Ukraine, killing thousands of people”
Trump supporter: “That's fine with me.”
I'm curious about something. Do you get the "Sunday Dreads" - an 'oh shit' feeling on Sunday when you realize you have a work week in front of you? I actually like my job and I still get this, always have. Am I the only one?
We used to believe in the power of compassion and basic human decency. We used to celebrate those who practice it and demand it from our leaders.
Let's remember who we are and can be again.
My amazing niece and goddaughter Avery has struggled with a stutter much of her life.
She was just told by a guy who knows a little something about it that she can be anything she wants to in this world.
A day she will never ever forget.
Thank you sir. ❤️🇺🇸❤️

A) 1 billion immigrants? Like, seriously?
B) Isn't the fact that these immigrants were apprehended proof that we do not, in fact, have an "open border" policy?
C) You do know what "apprehended" means, right?
D) You high?
Sinclair is a problem. Media consolidation is a problem. The loss of independent, local journalism is a huge problem. Make sure people know about this.

At least 3 articles published this month falsely suggest BIDEN POOPED HIMSELF during an event

This is a lot of things but it isn't freedom.
A Florida sheriff's office released body camera video Thursday showing a sheriff's deputy shooting and killing U.S. airman Roger Fortson at his apartment last week while the deputy was responding to a disturbance call.
BREAKING: HUNDREDS of students at Western Kentucky University gather to protest Turning Point USA & Kyle Rittenhouse's speaking tour chanting “Kyle is a killer!”
Lost a dozen or two followers tonight as I've been stridently defending POTUS during this pretty remarkable SOTU address. That's fine. I'm very happy with that. Lines have been drawn, stakes are high.
LFG.
Anti-Orban protests now include even the town of his birth.

We all understand that Mike Johnson won't allow a Biden win in 2024 to be certified as long as he's Speaker, right? We see that as fait accompli, right?
What's happening in the House is the opening act of the 2024 insurrection.
Emmer’s unforgivable sin was voting to certify Biden's election.
Henceforth, belief in the Big Lie — and support for Trump’s coup — is THE litmus test for leadership in the GOP.
If you don’t have a coup on your resume, don’t bother to apply.
This morning just after 1 a.m., a private Boeing 777 originating from San Antonio, Texas landed at the Rockford/Chicago airport carrying 350 asylum seekers. There was no communication from Texas, and the City of Chicago was alerted by authorities in Rockford regarding the flight.
Completely irresponsible waxwing birds 🐦🐦🐦 tend to eat fermented fruit and then lie drunk on the sidewalks.
Wise passers-by collect them and put them in a safe place until they sober up.
Yesterday I gave a difficult speech in the Senate.
The final reports are in on the Uvalde tragedy. 376 armed officers were outside that classroom. For one hour and 17 minutes. And they did nothing.
Final proof that more guns in our schools will not keep our kids safe.
If Trump was from Dublin, not NY, he wouldn't be eligible to be President & voters wouldn't have a say in it.
If Trump were aged 30, he wouldn't be eligible & voters wouldn't have a say in it.
Trump DID commit insurrection so he isn't eligible & voters don't have a say in it.
“I found precisely zero evidence of the Bidens’ corruption in Ukraine … The only information ever pushed on the Bidens in Ukraine has come from one source and one source only: Russia and Russian agents.”

Lol, Trump thinks Clinton physically destroyed her hard drives with an actual ‘powerful acid’.
BleachBit is software. You’d think Trump would know that considering that he talks about the Clinton emails so much.
Guy has no clue about anything.
Much of the malignancy demonstrated by Congressional republicans today can be traced back to this motherfucker. I hope hell exists so he can rot in it one day.
Newt Gingrich says Republicans shouldn’t give away the border issue by making a deal: “It’s just dumb! It’s like having an absolute winning hand and saying, ‘please, can I just lay these down and lose the game.’”
I'm flabbergasted by how small and shrill mtg is, how crass and vulgar her outbursts are, what an embarrassment she SHOULD BE, but is not.
And that is the tragedy of our times. The ugly have been elevated. The worst have been elevated.
It must stop.

I feel like we knew about this during the Transition, that some number of Secret Service staff had to be removed from the Biden orbit b/c they were overtly way too Trumpy? Right, am I mis-remembering that?

This is part of a combo move. First, you open up marriage w/out age restrictions. Then you make abortion unobtainable for teens. Then you force pregnant teens to get married and procreate further.
"54% of American adults between the ages of 16-74 read below a 6th grade level. So that means we have an epidemic of illiteracy," professor Brittney Cooper reacts to book banning. "If you make people ignorant, then it becomes much easier to control them."
@RonFilipkowski
Why don't members of the press Andy Biggs wherever he goes for an explanation why he requested a pardon from TFG? I dunno, to me, that should be investigated.
The ultimate goal here is not to actually remove Biden. The goal is create counter-programming to Trump's criminal proceedings. The ultimate "both-sides". To normalize Trump's rampant criminality.
I’ve seen lots of people making jokes about this and the Mark Meadows altercation.
It’s not funny. It’s alarming. Our devolution into political violence is accelerating and we’re running out of offramps.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) challenges Teamsters leader Sean O’Brien to a physical fight, standing up midway through a Senate HELP Committee hearing.

GOP Sen. Ron Johnson says he agrees with Putin that sanctions against Russia are just hurting America: “An awful lot of what Vladimir Putin said was right. We're cutting off our nose to spite our face with some of these sanctions…Putin will not lose.”
"Me and millions of other gun-loving Americans are just waiting until Trump gives us the green light to take to the streets and start gunning down Democrats"

It seems like Politico's audience is the media itself. It's purpose is to set and reinforce GOP-friendly narratives in the broader media landscape, to lead the rest of the political press in normalizing republican radicalism.
Damn. Under Trump the White House Medical Unit was a pill-mill. Thousands of ambien & provigil per month.
Worse, for a clinic that doesn’t typically do procedures w/ moderate sedation they sure are they ordering prodigious quantities of morphine, fentanyl, versed, & ketamine…?
I have an ask - if you're gonna reply to this, please @ POTUS and DNC. We need to get the word out this is Trump's fault, not Biden's. People are gonna blame Biden and it could sink us.
Nothing - NOTHING! - today from either the
@nytimes
or
@washingtonpost
about Trump's manifestly obvious mental decline and dozens of cringe-inducing gaffes in recent speeches.
Biden's age, though? Front and center.
The media is Trump's ally, they're all in for him.
I think that we’re gonna find out real soon that all this is worse than we’ve imagined, bigger than we’ve feared, that more than a third of the population won’t care and the media will both sides normalize all of it

The fact that West Virginians aren't hanging Manchin in effigy and pounding on his offices only shows the unreal power of culture wars, racism, and propaganda.

Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont says his state will purchase $1 billion of residents' medical debt for just $6.5 million.
Then he will cancel it all, abolishing medical debt for 250,000 people.
