Ossoff: "At last week's debate, he couldn't even bring himself to say he's stop the production of neo-Nazi propaganda from his own house. Did you see that? I told Mike we could shake on it. All he had to stop neo-Nazi propaganda from his house for 3 weeks. He refused! ... a crumbling little bigot"

Wtf???

An American president is encouraging an enemy to destroy American cities. This is treason, though he will claim we are not at war.

Scapegoating at its finest!

In the last 24 hours on different TV networks, Republicans in Congress blamed the cost of beef and housing on immigrants as well as the measles outbreak. Everything bad that happens in the country they are currently in charge of is caused by either immigrants or Biden.

This needs to be stopped in its tracks!

They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍

This is so true!

Jack Hopkins-The Original@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social

Winning the midterms isn't just about voting. It's about making sure five other people vote too. The first part is the easier of the two. That's why the second part is so very important.

Heads up: Taylor Farms lettuce is sold under these brand names: Marketside (sold at Walmart) Earthbound Farm (owned by Taylor Farms) Cross Valley Farms (owned by US Foods) Private labels for Target, Whole Foods (365), and Amazon Fresh. AVOID ALL OF THEM

Ken Paxton just ran away from a press conference because reporters started asking questions he didn't like. If he can’t even answer basic questions about where he votes and his 15 properties, Texans can’t trust him to be honest or transparent about anything.

Agree! This shooting is horrible- no excuses will suffice! Get the hell out of Houston ICE!!!

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

Ok fellow Texans…..VOTE this coming November!! The dignity of our state is on the line!

While Texans celebrated July 4, Senate candidate Ken Paxton was seen walking the streets of London with his alleged mistress. Just like Graham Platner, he should never become a U.S. senator.

But of course - piece of trash!

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

Class, in accordance with Texas’s new law, we are going to engage in Bible study. Please open you Bibles to Ezekiel 23:20. “There she lusted after her lovers, whose penises were like those of donkeys and whose ejaculations were like that of horses.” The Bible, pornography for the WHOLE family!

Wow

Well?

The People’s House has entered its sponsorship era. The president owns UFC stock. A million-dollar fundraiser is tied to the event. Commemorative merchandise is already being sold. Is the Hatch Act just not a thing anymore?

I agree! Watching Steven in the bathtub during the Covid lockdown kept me sane!

Can't thank Stephen Colbert enough for the decades of laughs he's given us. He's been positively therapeutic in these troubled times & I can't wait to see what he does next! 👀 (plus, he let me sit behind his desk) 🙏

Such corruption

Justice Samuel Alito has fossil fuel stocks making up nearly a quarter of his personal investment portfolio. And he just voted to put a major climate accountability case on the Supreme Court’s docket after recusing himself from virtually identical cases for the exact same reason.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

NO!! 😡😡😡😡

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it. A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of

This disgusts me. 🤮

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

WATCH: “Does this feel like the right thing to do? Are you ready to be on the wrong side of side of history?” Tennessee Republicans generally remorseless about stripping representation from majority Black Memphis, drowning it out with white power to protect a corrupt president.

DHS deported a US citizen to Mexico. Brian Morales is 25 years old who was born in Denver. Pulled over in Texas with his construction crew. Didn’t have his ID on him and told officers he could get his birth certificate, Social Security card, and medical records from home.
