Outrageous!

women died because they received no life saving care as they were having miscarriages in Georgia and the state responded by simply eradicating the committee that investigated deaths of pregnant women.

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

Which is to say, more people and a higher percentage of voters voted for Harris in 2024 than voted for Trump in 2020 so please can we dispense with the narrative of Trump having some sort of overwhelming mandate. It’s fiction.

But when a man walks into a dressing room and sexually assaults a woman, she’s comfortable with making him president.

Biden did not start the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Ukraine. #FactsMatter.

Notable that the only three Republicans who voted against this bill (referenced in tweet below)were the three who represent the westernmost districts in the state

Disgusting and pathetic, but unsurprising:
North Carolina Republican lawmakers will propose a Helene relief bill today that also includes several unrelated provisions: Chief among them, stripping power away from the governor and attorney general.

This shit should be a much bigger story. The Nat Security folks are raising the alarm because if this doesn’t get done, the new team won’t be ready on day one, and we will be vulnerable to bad guys like Putin.
(Which is probably the goal).
Why isn’t the media talking about this?

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

When SCOTUS in its Citizens United verdict in 2010 recognized corporations as people, it effectively abandoned the elementary democratic principle of one person one vote, since corporations can give one physical person many votes.
This undemocratic verdict must be revoked.

BREAKING: Republican Don Bacon becomes the first House Republican to say that the Matt Gaetz ethics investigation should be released. This is huge.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

That’s impossible. Trump said he didn’t know anything about Project 2025 or the people behind it.

He couldn’t have been lying, could he?

News: Asshole responsible for allowing fascism to take hold in the federal government whines about fascism taking hold in the federal government...

2. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.

How do we know this? Because it always is. It's the authoritarian playbook.

Lawsuits are first. Prosecutions are next. America needs to learn these moves fast. It's already later than you think.

the afghanistan withdrawal was negotiated by trump -- he gave the whole country back to the taliban

this is politics, ugly and crude. these people are going to tear the country apart and everyone will be miserable save for billionaires on yachts

[John DeVore @JohnDeVore]

what you're gonna send the secret police to my door because you know, and i know, that you're a security risk who takes orders from foreign leaders

[Laurie Wolfe @BkDealer]

absolutely right!

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

“RFK Jr. is the poster boy for the new Trump administration, a rich man who never has had to worry about a thing in his life, putting the lives of ordinary Americans in jeopardy because he thinks he knows better than scientists”

Wild that Biden's ARP gave the Teamsters an unprecedented, massive, $80 billion bailout to their bankrupt pension fund, and they responded by endorsing Trump.

I disagreed with the bailout, but why should any politician ever help the Teamsters again?

If Russian state TV is openly celebrating your selections for national security positions, you have picked WRONG.

Horrifically wrong.

What they don’t realize is that Bernie is calling Trump’s bluff on a campaign promise he never intended to keep.

[Victoria Brownworth @VABVOX]

Kamala Harris may actually win the popular vote. Trump is well under 50% and barely 1% stands between him and Harris. That difference was MSM sane-washing of Trump while holding Harris to a double standard and accountable for Biden. All while Trump is an actual criminal.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

In April, The Biden-Harris Labor Department expanded overtime pay rules.

Roughly 4.3 million more workers would have been eligible for OT pay under the new rule.

A Trump-appointed judged blocked it yesterday.

Go ahead and keep telling me that the GOP is the party of workers.
