OBAMA: That just feels a little bit different… where people are so sick and tired of being sick and tired. After 2 years of chaos. and cruelty. and corruption. and incompetence—you get a chance to say enough's enough.

Pres. Obama keying into the blatant corruption on all voters' minds,💰 and that Republicans have done/will do nothing to stop it, leaves all Americans no choice but to vote for Democrats - - even if some must hold their noses. That message and video should play round the clock for the next week. 🗳️⚖️🇺🇸

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

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.)

"If you're not rich, you don't count...we've lost touch with what is really important in our lives...we also have got to re-find our north star...kindness, compassion...tired of anger, division...we're not gonna get outta this overnight...It's hard to stop change when its time has come❕" Pres.

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

NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN OBAMA ❕💙🇺🇸❕ "So sick and tired of being sick and tired!" "We're voting for change, right here in Michigan!" "The administration's actions are directly responsible for rising costs." "Meanwhile, you got the defense secretary laser focused on jawlines and testosterone."

"I do not recall anybody campaigning for masked agents running throughout streets!" "And then there is gold everywhere. What's up with the gold⁉️" "He is clearly not focused on lowering prices for you." "This is a culture that is set at the top...the guy has become billions of dollars wealthier."

"'As a former president, I can tell you sometimes factors beyond a president’s control end up foiling the best-laid plans,' Mr. Obama said. But, he added: 'That is not the case here. In this case, this administration’s actions are directly responsible for rising costs.'" 🗳️⚖️🇺🇸❕

"So which will it be? A pre-Christmas dismissal or a deposition? My money is against Trump sitting down to be grilled by opposing lawyers." Dismissal! Every seasoned court reporter in NYC has sworn Trump in at a deposition. He always tried to control the proceedings. Bravo, BBC. Keep pushing. ⚖️

Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social

The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...

last month, before That Ad made it to air, I went down to Ohio to figure out why Vivek Ramaswamy seemed to be struggling so much in his home state. the South Asians of Columbus, the bored students of OSU, and the hecklers of the Cleveland 'burbs all helped me understand: slate.com/news-and-pol...

He is remarkably consistent in supporting alleged perpetrators and enablers of sexual violence and attacking their victims

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Pete Hegseth wanted Dwight Eisenhower's globe for his office. His staff broke it. Photos obtained by The Post show a gash in the World War II-era artifact that resulted from a botched relocation attempt inside the Pentagon.
