Have I got a story for you. It starts with a simple tip that someone has done a FOIA request for all 7 million voter signature cards in Georgia. I was able to get a screenshot of the request. It's much more insane than I could have possibly thought and people need to know.

@NeuroSpark Love Einaudi. Also great for walking, yoga, or background while writing grants.

I’m the Democrat, mother of two, and religious refugee running to defeat George Santos.

Santos has over 66k followers, while I have 57k. It's time to defeat him and flip the House majority blue.

Help me spread my message by retweeting, following, and getting me to 65k!

The Clarence Thomas bombshells keep dropping. Now @guardian reports that lawyers who had business before the Supreme Court made direct Venmo payments to a Thomas aide.

Thomas must resign or be impeached if SCOTUS is going to retain any credibility.

This guy is amazing. Ukraine has no Navy and yet he travels miles into the waters of the Black Sea, on an inflatable, to visit Snake Island. There are very few modern leaders in the world that have shown this level of bravery.

“We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our…agreement,”

Wow! Credit where credit’s due - I was one of those who criticized Biden on this, but he came though. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽 https://t.co/1FGgM3snIp

Not now. We all have to put our egos aside, put 3rd & 4th parties aside, and support Joe Biden. Trump & this Trumpist Republican Party is a real, immediate threat to our democracy. The only party that can defeat the GOP is the Democratic Party. So we’re all Democrats this cycle.

1. The US murder rate is down an 12% year-to-date, based on 90 cities that have released data.

If the trend holds it will be the single largest annual decline in the murder rate ever recorded.

And yet, you probably haven't heard anything about it.

Thread. Personally, I am wondering how much of politics now is only about super rich folks determined to sink Biden because he wants to raise taxes on the extraordinary fortunes they’ve amassed under the low-tax regime of the past 40 years.

TWEEPS: A great nation treats its most vulnerable citizens with care and dignity. Republicans don't care about Seniors and have NO dignity.

Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies to get #DontCutMedicare trending?

Please and thank you. 🙏💪

1) good for Garth Brooks

2) this is the way to handle this. Stand up for what we all know is right. Stand strong in your values.

Miami prepared for 50,000 Trump supporters to demonstrate against his indictment. CNN is reporting 20 have shown up so far. 20.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

The “1,850 boxes” of Biden Senate records housed at his alma mater are legally irrelevant to Trump’s case, but since Trump has very vaguely made them central to his public defense, here are the unremarkable facts: https://t.co/DVhGAdx4wn

This weekend, @NPR published a months-long investigation into a simple question:

Why are Republicans abandoning one of the best tools the government has to find voter fraud?

We uncovered a complex far right pressure campaign, and an election denial blueprint for 2024...

“On May 1, 1865, thousands of newly freed Black people gathered in Charleston, S.C., for what may have been the nation’s first Memorial Day celebration. Attendees held a parade and put flowers on the graves of Union soldiers who had helped liberate them…” https://t.co/36bpUWETpQ
