I just talked to my brother in deep red MAGA west Texas and asked him what he thinks about going to war for Trump and he said "I have to get my crop out of the field and the girls have a stock show next weekend, so I can't fit civil war into my schedule right now."

@EWErickson
I'm not a democrat either, I'm a moderate swing voter who believes in the rule of law and the constitution.
If a Democrat participates in insurrection, he/she should be treated exactly the same way.
That's the rule of law.
Thank you Cassidy Hutchinson. History will remember you as a hero and a patriot. But I know that’s not why you testified. You testified because it was the right thing to do.

@RpsAgainstTrump
She already won.
She won't be re-elected, but this is classic "losing the battle to win the war".
Losing this way, with character and self-sacrifice in service to the greater good, has made her a giant in American politics.
This is the beginning for
@Liz_Cheney
, not the end.

I am considering moving my company to Wyoming so that as we grow and hire more competent people, we can shift the electorate towards the sane party.

I bet it was Trump.

We already beat him at the ballot box. He responded with an insurrection. Why not hold him accountable like we would for every other American citizen instead of enabling that behavior out of fear?
A handy self test for people who aren't sure if they are on the side of good or evil.
If you cried for Trump being indicted,
But not for children being blown to pieces by assault weapons,
you MIGHT be on the side of evil...
I had the honor to work with Gov. Schwarzenegger on the first film he directed in 1995. He is one of the most high character people I've ever met
His physical power as a bodybuilder is exceeded by his mastery of the spoken word
Please listen to and share his powerful message
Schwarzenegger's message to the Russian people: My father was a Nazi. Don't be like him. Putin is a fascist dictator like Hitler. Don't believe his lies. Don't follow his illegal orders. Don't participate in the illegal war against the people of Ukraine.
@Rschooley
Actually, I think you are onto something. Someone should attend MAGA rallys and hand out fake vouchers for free weekend stays at Mar-a-Lago.
Hand them out by the thousands. See if Trump treats uninvited guests with the decency that Martha's Vinyard is exhibiting...
@RobertMaguire_
Attacking someone for not eating vegetables seems like a really bad move when trying to appeal to blue collar workers.
Out of touch much?
@GeorgeTakei
Shouldn't she be asking her husband or father to tell men to instruct their wives / daughters how to vote?
Sure seems like her acting with agency as a woman is breaking her rules for other women doesn't it?

Katie is a master communicator. She understood exactly what she was doing when she used the word "rigged".
My respect for her flipped from 100% on to 100% off like a light switch when I saw her statement.

. Thank you Liz and every other member of the Jan 6 committee for your patriotism and service to our country.
Boebert still losing, but now at 97% reporting.
Only about 13,000 votes left to count. Bobo would have to win 10,000 of them to pull this off.
Expect Decision Desk to call this race soon for Frisch.
If you're taking pleasure in your fellow American languishing in a Russian jail there's something terribly wrong with you. Also, don't ever call yourself an American patriot,
You're a POS scumbag,
@DonaldJTrumpJr
It seems plausible to me that Clarence Thomas threatened to retire during the Obama admin (who would appoint a liberal to replace him) and used that to extort gifts and money from Republican donors.
Anyone else find this likely?
Woah.
Some Democrats are floating the idea of voting for Liz Cheney to be Speaker of the House if Republicans take the House and Kevin McCarthy fails to get the votes to become Speaker.
That would be awesome.
Based on the evidence that the Proud Boys facilitated the attack on the Capital for Donald Trump - why has the US not designated them a domestic terrorist organization?
@DOJCrimDiv
@POTUS
Principled conservatives are going to continue to align with the Democratic party, creating a big tent coalition in which every patriotic American can find authentic representation.
This will eventually be what ends the power of MAGA Republicans.
BREAKING: Former Republican Oklahoma House Speaker Kris Steele endorses Democrat Kendra Horn for US Senate against Trump-backed candidate: "She's the kind of leader that we need to move our state forward in a positive, productive, and healthy direction."
Country over party.
I am absolutely confident we will crush ultra-MAGA candidates in November.
"We the people" will send a message to election deniers, conspiracy nuts and violent insurrectionists that Americans don't want their bullshit.
We will prove what the Trump brand really stands for:
A KPop band has

,

&
#7
songs on iTunes.
Is the silent majority also Korean?
Also: 337 movies have hit $100M at the box office.
Anheuser Busch revenues are up for 2023 over 2022
Target revenues are up 2023 over 2022
Your logic is crap & lies
@TheWeek
If Donald Trump is not indicted, I will file a class action lawsuit against the DOJ on behalf of all Americans who could not break the same laws Trump did and get away without criminal charges
It is not acceptable that anyone is above the laws that 300 million of us abide by
@davidfrum
There is no "light timeline" where the GOP nominee has so little character or respect for the voters that they are unwilling to speak the truth about Trump and Jan 6th.
@RpsAgainstTrump
#ThankYouLizCheney
Millions of patriots and people of character admire your principled stand for the rule of law.
Can’t wait to see what you do next with the mansion you’ve rented in Donald Trump’s head.
This is what Donald Trump's brand of politics is enabling. The only way to stop this hate is to put these people in jail. They are a tiny minority - we can't be so afraid of how they will react that we fail to do the right thing and indict Trump and anyone that breaks the law.

Nothing would be funnier than someone who bought a pardon from Trump testifying to that fact...
and being shielded from prosecution because of Trump's pardon.
@RyanShead
Well at least we can be thankful that Justice Thomas isn't in a job where his entire responsibility is to make rational ethical, moral and legal decisions that affect every single person in the entire United States.
At least there's that.

@mestas_matt
Pence has been in Kiev and talked to Christian leaders there who have said no one is being persecuted.
Tucker continues to argue that persecution is happening even after hearing first hand denials from the people he's claiming are being imprisoned.
@RpsAgainstTrump
Desperately want you to be right, but we aren't there yet.
Still have 20,000 votes outstanding in Pueblo county and another 10,000 spread around the rest of the state and Frisch is only up by 3,477 votes.
I watched this race all night long & think Frisch will win, but barely.
1) America is divided.
The most dangerous divisions are not over politics or race or sex or economic differences
It's between rational actors and fringe extremists
Rational actors value national unity
Extremists seek national chaos
But who benefits from unity or chaos?
Everyone should read and retweet this if you want Biden to beat Trump in 2024
"If this is a bad economy, please tell me what a good economy looks like"
@HeathMayo
This shows the effect that Christie and Asa Hutchinson are having by speaking honestly about Trump. If more of the GOP would follow their lead, we could move on from him.
@keithedwards
@laurenboebert
If the below info from Decision Desk is accurate, I think Boebert is toast.
There are 23,000 votes left to count and she'd need to win 15,000 of them (a 2 to 1 margin).
I just blocked Elon Musk so I don’t have to see him constantly berating his users for telling him how they feel about his bad business decisions
Felt good
#Boebert
may be done.
If the info from Decision Desk below is accurate, there are only 23,000 more votes to count and Bobo would have to win 15,000 of them (a 2 to 1 margin).
This is why American Democracy will win in the end.
MAGA underestimates the number of common sense left and right leaning moderates there are in the country.
Its a large segment of the population.
They are educated and financially successful.
They are extremely influential.
Former GOP Rep. Peter Smith: "It may be too late for the Republican Party to again welcome moderate and liberal voices...If the GOP can't be an instrument of democracy, independent-minded moderates will do what we’ve always done: Vote our conscience, and vote for someone else."
@MeidasTouch
When anyone asks a question that isn't legitimate, she should simply say - "that's a bad faith question and I'm not going to answer it - next".
After that happens to CNN and Fox anchors 30 or 40 times maybe they will start asking legitimate questions.
@SethAbramson
Exactly.
The fact that Trump paid Daniels off and covered it up proves beyond a doubt that he and his campaign believed her story could materially affect the outcome of the election.
If you harbor any doubts about that

Except Trump said in several recorded interviews that the capital was stormed by his supporters protesting because they believed the election was stolen (or stollen as he puts it).
Are you saying Trump is a liar?
So my favorite thing to do on twitter?

When they say something stupid, respond with logic (preferably links to articles totally debunking their crazy) and then block them so that when they try to troll you, they can't.

@GawlinskiLaura
I wish someone would ask election deniers like Ginni the question - "Is there any amount of evidence that would convince you it wasn't stolen?"
Let's see if there is even a hope that they are rational before wasting any more time on them.
@TheWeek
Frightening, but Democracy is resilient enough to handle this. If Republicans gerrymander a permanent majority, then all Dems will run as Republicans and all voters will register as Republicans. Primaries will become defacto elections - moderates vs extremists. Moderates will win
@SteveSchmidtSES
@CNN
And they threw their own talent into a pit fight with an audience they knew would be hostile to her.
What kind of media company treats their talent that way?
Seriously, if you aren't already listening to The Bulwark Podcast, you are missing out on the most interesting / funny / thought provoking political podcast out there.
Trump threw the anti-abortion movement under the bus after losses in the midterms — which prompted a ferocious backlash among evangelicals. He has yet to repair the damage.

Great post. But…
The GOP doesn’t care what the constitution says. 2A is a convenient argument to defend their desire to put campaign donations and their careers ahead of the lives of children.
You can’t reason with them.
