Posting something like this is not the action of a man who thinks his guys are gonna win the midterms. Get out there and vote your butts off, and then let's investigate the snot outta this creep.

If California billionaires can scrape together $340 MILLION to fight a tax on billionaires, I think we've officially settled whether they can afford to pay the fucking tax.

2 problems I noticed when voting in Florida yesterday. Why aren’t republicans concerned?: 1 - They require you to sign your signature with your finger on a tablet. That signature can be used to throw out your vote if it doesn’t match the signature they have on file, which you signed with a pen. 2 - They require you to vote via paper ballot, using a pencil to fill in the bubble next to your choice. You then run your ballot through a machine that counts the votes, but you don’t get to see if the machine read your choices correctly. Shouldn’t republicans who care about “election security” be concerned with this?

Leftists willingly gave republicans control of the Supreme Court in 2016, republicans then used the Supreme Court to block things like student loan forgiveness. It’s been almost ten years and leftists still can’t connect those dots. They don’t regret 2016 at all and don’t think they did anything wrong.
we wouldn't be here had Biden actually forgiven student loans as he campaigned to do instead of his bullshit attempt that everyone under the sun said was the wrong way to go.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Biden's broad student loan forgiveness plan was blocked by the Supreme Court but his administration still canceled over $175 billion for nearly 5 million borrowers via expanded programs like PSLF and IDR. scotusblog.com/2023/06/suprem… politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…

AMAZING! Republican election officials denied NC A&T campus an early-voting site. Students marched about 45 minutes each way to vote ANYWAY! Put up barriers to voting, and don’t be surprised when people get angry, get organized, and bring even MORE voters to the polls!

There are Democratic candidates right now that I don't like much. But every elected (D) is one fewer elected (R). We need bodies in chairs, so we can control committees, investigations, subpoenas, schedules, agendas, and votes. If we don't have majorities, we have Trumpism.

I'll always be proud of my votes for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. And, of course, for Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. And I will never forgive anyone who ever condemned any of those people at any moment in the last 35 years, for any reason. All of you: Fuck off.

I await the multi-day stories on the cover of the NYT about Trump's declining mental and physical health. I SEEM to recall a lot of those in 2024.
