BREAKING: Donald Trump gets crushing surprise news as four prominent ex-MAGA Republican women join forces to campaign against him in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania.

This has MAGA world fuming...

Liz Cheney and former Trump aides, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Cassidy Hutchinson, and Sarah Matthews are determined to crush him.

They'll hold a fireside chat in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, next week. A source told CNN that the four women will "offer a warning about the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy and the rule of law."

They'll also stress "the need for independents, moderates, and Republicans to stop him from getting back in office."

The event will almost certainly be the first of many that the four Republicans will hold in battleground states.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank these women for putting country over party — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

If you watch only one thing today, let it be watching Republican Colorado county clerk Tina Peters being arrested for 2020 election fraud.

Today she was sentenced to 9 years.

Trump should be next.

Trump’s probably having a tantrum right now.

OCTOBER SURPRISE 🚨

President Biden quietly stepped in and helped fix the ILA dock worker strike—keeping goods flowing and the economy steady.

While Trump stirred the pot, Biden got shit done.

Holy cow. Mark Cuban, once again, just appeared on a podcast listened to by primarily men & set the record straight about how it was actually Donald Trump who causes the cost of gas to increase with facts & logic. Mark Cuban is so freaking good at this.

Drop a 💙 if you stand with Liz Cheney in support of Kamala.

Undocumented immigrants paid $97B in taxes in 2022.

They paid a higher state/local tax rate than the top 1% in a majority of states.

They contributed $26B to Social Security, which they can't benefit from.

Remember this the next time the undocumented are called "freeloaders."

Wow, this isn't just an endorsement of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz by Bruce Springsteen, it's a sermon, a song, and a love letter to America!

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Sorry, but I’ve fucking had enough of Republicans lying & distorting Joe Biden’s character for petty politics. President Biden comforted his son Hunter after Beau Biden died & Republicans are attacking him for it. They are sick, evil, & cruel humans. We love President Biden.

Try teaching your students how their brains work and to express their needs, and watch their self-regulation abilities lift off. 🚀

Marvelous look at some of the ways Florida’s absurd state standards echo a long pattern of deliberate obfuscation when it comes to complicated history. Especially regarding race and white supremacy.

Between 2020-2022, U.S. billionaire wealth grew by $1.5 trillion. That’s more than $2 billion a day. It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to let a small group of oligarchs hoard that much wealth.

Slavery was Legal.

Colonialism was Legal.

Jim Crow was Legal.

Apartheid was Legal.

Legality is a matter of Power, NOT Justice.

‘Why Don’t Students Like School?’ by Daniel Willingham is one of the most influential books for teachers on cognitive science. It explores how students’ minds work & how to use this knowledge to be a better teacher.
