Ben Franklin’s ghost

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

😂 I came to the same conclusion.

Woody Harrelson has done an ad "for Exxon". Well worth watching

😂 😂 😂

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

There are real-life pedophiles in the Epstein files. I’m not saying all Republicans are pedophiles. I AM saying that all Republicans in the federal government actively or passively preventing the release of the Epstein files as prescribed by law are shielding and enabling pedophiles. There’s a lot.

Sniff… Sniff… ah, nothing smells quite like desperation.

If ICE were legitimate law enforcement looking to protect the US, they’d employ due process and adhere to the Constitution. Instead, ICE employ unvetted, untrained thugs using brutal intimidation tactics to achieve political objectives (aka, terrorism). And they’re going to polling locations.

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Surely, god would have tipped them off if the Catholic Church were going to be used for cruel, oppressive purposes. Unless it’s not the one true faith. 🤔

This is the “no press is bad press” and “don’t ever apologize” Trump mantra in action. Since the ad aired, this race has gone from “toss up” to “lean Democrat”. As one might have predicted, people digested and researched - Acton has demonstrated courage and character and Ramaswamy is an asshole.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Time to allow Catholic clergy to marry. Any of them with a good wife would’ve gotten sound advice: “The hell you are! You ain’t going to no WH to bless that piece of shit and find your sorry ass plastered all over right-wing media that’ll call him the ‘chosen one’. Use your f^cking head, dumbass!”

“We’re making a fricking fortune,” Trump said. Who’s the we? “We” is he…the Trump family…billionaire cronies profiting off of the corruption and crime…oil execs who gave him millions. This is the “we” who Trump cares about—always has, always will. www.americaamerica.news/p/showing-tr...

The lawsuit's central question: What happens when voters insist on choosing the winner themselves?

In Trump’s America, the Department of Justice does not protect 13 year old victims from pedophiles, it protects pedophiles from 13 year old victims. Let THAT sink in.

Remember the Catholic archbishops praying over Trump? The White House duped them into posing then sent out the video they didn’t know was being recorded without their knowledge. apnews.com/article/dona...

So they had their trust violated by someone in a position of power…

Dear MAGA, You are not the United States oil and gas business. You are not making hundreds of billions of dollars on high gas prices. That hundreds of billions of dollars will not trickle down to you and enrich you. Ever. You are where the hundreds of billions of dollars is being taken from.

Anthony Fauci did follow the science. Fauci was AN ADVISOR. Fauci didn’t force you to do jack shit. As an advisor, Fauci informed decision-makers, provided expertise. That is what Anthony Fauci did. Trump was the decision-maker and he sidelined Fauci so you couldn’t hear directly from him.

It’s a stain on the United States that instead of protecting 13 year olds from pedophile rapists, our DOJ is protecting pedophile rapists from their 13 year old victims

Maybe someday some MAGAt bonehead will listen to this, realize HE’S not getting rich from high gas prices, and it will dawn on him that it’s a class war, not a race war. That it’s the corporations, the wealthy, and the oligarchs fucking him over, not the immigrants. But I doubt it.

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

Any statement that starts with “I’m a lifelong Democrat” and ends with “that’s why I’m voting Republican” is full of shit

The first question to any new press secretary should be: Can you tell us the 8 wars that Trump settled?

Any election not certified needs to trigger an immediate and massive general strike. Refusal by Vance to seat any new senators or Johnson to seat any new representatives must trigger an immediate and massive general strike. Data scientists need to be ready to do their thing and report quickly.

In the wealthiest country on earth, 1 in every 8 Americans is food insecure and requires charitable or government assistance. This can only happen if 2 things are true: 1) the economic system is failing 2) the government does not represent the people

There needs to be a constitutional amendment limiting the number of Dan Sullivans on any given ballot.

More of this, please! Local law enforcement enforcing the law regardless of who’s breaking it. This should be happening EVERYWHERE.

Wow! Make Amy Acton governor. “I am making a promise to Ohioans...that no one in my state will ever, ever be invisible to me."

🎀🎀

If Peltola gets more votes than all the Dan Sullivans in Alaska combined, does DOJ drop the suit?

No doubt. Who doesn’t in Trumpworld?

Exactly.

Don't forget that nearly all Republicans in Congress stood by and supported Trump's... -Tax cuts for the rich -Cuts to the social safety net -Iran War -ICE abductions & National Guard deployments -Inflationary tariffs -Blatant corruption His unpopularity is theirs too — and the midterms are here.

That’s inspiring, Natalie. What is your one dream?

Give Melania a Nobel Peace Prize and watch Trump’s head explode.

Ohio isn’t going to elect Amy Acton because she was abused. It’s going to elect her because she has the courage, character, and decency to stand up to bullies, and she understands the difference between wielding power and serving people.

While they have you fearing Islam, Christian nationalists are telling women to shut up. They're in Congress writing our laws and attributing this fascism to God. There's no difference between what they're saying and Taliban fascism. Islamic teaching says women are equal partners.

Another thing about the Epstein Files is that it’s not just Trump. As soon as Trump is incapacitated enough they remove him, the Trump portion of the Epstein files will be released. The rest won’t. We’ll need a Democratic Congress and a Democratic president to flush them all out.

I don’t wish Trump dead. He clearly has dementia with almost daily demonstration of cognitive decline. At some point the GOP will have to face it they need a new figurehead. Trump, meanwhile, should live long enough to see the damage he’s done repaired, his name erased everywhere but the Files.

Document your voting experience if there is ANYTHING even slightly off. Date, location, time and describe what you experienced: votes changed, issues with ballot collection, what poll workers did related to your issue. Write it down right away, sign and date it. Even have it signed by a witness.

🤔🤔🤔

People talk about inflation under Biden. Covid caused a once-in-a-century economic disruption not unlike the Great Depression. He inherited it and we saw steady improvement throughout his term. The disruption we see now is self-inflicted, by 1 guy who chose war and tariffs. Both economy killers.
