Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"
Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people.
By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s.
Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.
This man makes me wish I lived in Georgia so I could vote to reelect him to the Senate.
I guess I'll just have to wait to vote for Jon Ossoff @ossoff.bsky.social when, hopefully, the Dems draft him to run for President! 🇺🇸

NEW: The Supreme Court ruled today that limits on political parties' coordinated spending violate the First Amendment—giving wealthy donors more influence over our democracy.
This decision further prioritizes special interests ahead of the American people.
Amazing thread by @lilmsmisanthrope.bsky.social .
In addition to Monsanto/Bayer controlling markets, fresh food of most any kind doesn't taste like it did before they stuck their greedy fingers on the scale.
🧵Monsanto (now Bayer) controls 60% of global corn and soybean seed markets. Farmers sign contracts barring them from saving seeds buying new ones every season, along with the matching herbicide. You don't farm your land anymore. You lease it from a corporation.
The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 took care of this in 1984 with ATT.
Time for lawmakers to get serious about monopolies and the destruction of affordability in this country.
The richest man owns X.
The second and fourth richest men control Google.
The third richest man owns The Washington Post.
The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Lying Trump. He wouldn’t be asking for 200 billion if the war was wrapping up. He wouldn’t be putting 5000 troops on the ground if war was ending.This war will continue through the midterms because he will use the war as an excuse not to hold elections
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead.

in all the grinch's years of "senate-ing", I never heard him or his staff roll out the two-yr-old polio affliction down there in Sheffield/Athens, ALABAMA.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
There are 195 countries in the world. Besides the US, how many have full or partial versions of the Epstein files?
Make the world a better place. Leak them!
I'm so tired of him constantly running his mouth with no consequences. Past presidents have been impeached for less. What will it take to remove this cancer from office?
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.
BREAKING: Twenty-four survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes have issued an emotional and urgent appeal to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, demanding that Congress vote to release the long-awaited Epstein files. meidasnews.com/news/survivo...
This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country.

Pelosi blocked AOC from Oversight Ranking Member over petty beef & backed Gerry Connolly—an aging rep battling cancer. Now he's stepping down & we’re back in chaos. Enough old guard! We need fighters like Jasmine Crockett & AOC to face this authoritarian GOP head-on. #NewBlood#SaveDemocracy
