“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...

americaamerica.newsShowing Trump Who “We the People” AreWhile Donald Trump serves himself, his family and his cronies, Americans can soon make clear that “we” are more powerful than “he”

That's just not how it works. And AG Blanche knows it. He's not holding the line against Trump's attempt to subvert the election outcomes. He's facilitating it. The federal government remains the greatest threat to free and fair elections in November.

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

But the ones that always get called violent are the ones that are, you know....violent. Saying that some people apply it to all protests doesn't mean that all protests are non-violent.

Every protest gets called violent no matter the degree or not that it was because the literally degrades whatever legitimate complaint that existed into nothing

Adam Hamilton on transgender rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them and hurt them. Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself. What’s happened is we’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well."

MICHIGAN, BRING IT HOME! 🔥 Barack Obama reminds voters to vote Democrat all the way down the ballot. From the top of the ticket to the very last race. No skipping races. No sitting this one out. #BlueWaveIn10Days

Given the shift in media ownership over the Trump era, Democrats REALLY need to learn to ignore media handwringing now. Because I have no doubt their every move for accountability will be attacked from every possible angle.

Trump: "Do I make a deal with them, or do I finish them off? That's the only question ... We get everything. They get nothing."

The interesting part is when Trump claims Paxton helped him find millions and millions of votes to throw out.

Everyone I talked to had, in some way, been impacted by whoever was driving the black Dodge Charger. Some Latino residents moved to nearby cities. One Mexican restaurant went from 200 daily take-out orders to just 50.

This is a town of three stoplights, five gas stations, five Mexican restaurants, and five churches. It is — or was — 45% Latino. Yet within a year of the flood, the town’s tiny PD had delivered the equivalent of 10% of Ingram to ICE.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

Without a doubt. I've been trying to come up with bumper-sticker-length things to convince people that midterms are important, like this one. Of course, I get all kinds of responses about how it's over simplified. Well, yeah - that's the point, because a lot of non-voters just don't get it.

Trump's most recent rendering of East Potomac Park overtakes the D.C. peninsula with a sprawling golf course, without the grassy areas and road beloved by locals. That's prompted grassroots pushback. n.pr/4so6XNc

This is your record. You don't wanna talk about it because you are embarrassed of it, and you are also embarrassed of the fact that you cannot win this race without Trump coming here and stumping for you. If you like the way things have been for the last two years, that's what Mike Rogers wants. 🔥
