[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

Thank you for your support in my underdog run for US Senate!

This is not the end. We are just getting started. More on my future plans to come!

I ran for US Senate because I am scared for my kids futures. I saw a whole bunch of problem and thought I had the solutions to them, and I still think I do.

Stayed tuned! I am not going anywhere*

*except camping for a few days.

Scott Pelley needs to be assigned to the White House press pool.

The American people need his DNGAF attitude.

[Lucas Sanders 👊🏽🔥🇺🇸 @LucasSa56947288]

Scott Pelley: “In this moment, our rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack. Insidious fear is reaching through our schools, businesses, homes. The fear to speak in America”

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

A reminder that 2/3rds of Congress can override a veto and force Trump’s hand on exiting Iran and a range of other issues.

Republicans just choose not to.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The House voted to end the war in Iran, as four Republicans sided with Democrats in a striking rebuke to President Trump. https://t.co/Oeeox0iq9q

Scott Pelley is a badass.

Bari Weiss is a coward.

As a country, we are in crisis because the cowards are in charge.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

HOLY SH*T, this parting statement by Scott Pelley is WILD:

"New management has instructed me to INJECT FALSEHOODS AND BIAS into a politically sensitive story. I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."

I bet he knows a LOT more, too. 🔥

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

What Republicans call “socialism” is actually just a working class economy where everyone can get ahead.

And what Republicans call “capitalism” is actually an economy where only the rich get richer and everyone else struggles.

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

Savagely dunking on a MAGA media grifter, then leaking the recording so it shows up in the NYT three hours later:

This is the energy I need in America right now.

That Chinese EV manufacturers are making better, cheaper, and faster-charging EVs is a failure of American innovation and Republican economics.

Americans want the future. Not 100-year-old technology.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

China's long-term investments in innovation are paying off in electric vehicles. Last year, the Chinese car company BYD overtook Tesla as the world's top seller of EVs, despite the U.S. market being virtually closed to them.

And as the rest of us are fully aware — we are having to accept Trump’s filth everyday and far into the future.

But it’s so cool he knows how to clean fountains!!!!

[johnny maga @johnnymaga]

D.C. area resident reacts to the Columbus fountain reopening at Union Station:

“It’s so blue! And it’s bouncing off the white marble. I’ve never seen the marble this clean before!”

“Breathtaking!”

Trump is showing the entire country that we don’t have to accept filth.

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

Anything to trigger his fragile ego is a win and so this is a massive massive win.

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

There are so many Republicans dancing around the subject so I am just going to come right out and say it for them:

Ken Paxton is a huge POS.

He is not a real man.
He doesn’t protect children.
He protects people who hurt children.
He is a fake Christian.
He is a home wrecker.
He is not a family man.
He enriches himself on the backs of hardworking taxpayers.

And this is the kind of person that modern Republicans want to install in high office.

[Matt Schlapp @mschlapp]

Play like we're behind

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

@EricLDaugh History could be made, indeed, by getting a deal WAY SHITTIER than Obama’s in 2015, which Trump pulled out of in 2018, which is the reason Iran has enriched uranium now. 🤯

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

There would not be any enriched uranium to have a war over if Trump wouldn’t have pulled out of Obama’s Iran deal in 2018.

That’s how stupid this whole war is.

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

MAGA: Obama giving Iran $1.7 billion unfrozen assets is TREASON.

NYT: Trump’s Iran Deal to include $300 BILLION reconstruction fund for Iran.

MAGA:

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

Perpetrators use the justice system to harass and intimidate survivors.

Just the latest example.

[Acyn @Acyn]

CNN: The DOJ has launched a new criminal investigation into one of Trump's enemies, E. Jean Carroll. The source is telling CNN that the investigation now is focused on whether she committed perjury during her two civil lawsuits against the president.

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

Paxton getting pedo friends off the hook is very on-brand fo MAGA.

[Boston Smalls @smalls2672]

This guy who got his friend out of trouble after he repeatedly raped a boy calls his political opponent a freak.

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

@realTuckFrumper Just like we could mock Jesse Watters totally not fake balls. Do they exist?

SPOILER: They do not.

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

@WUTangKids Fucking shameless propaganda and gaslighting.

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

@washingtonpost The consequence of him doing all this illegally is that eventually a sane Congress and President are going to have him pay for the reconstruction himself.

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

Trump looked at Paxton’s fraud and adultery and was like, “That’s my guy!”

[FactPost @factpostnews]

The winner of the TX GOP Senate primary is Ken Paxton, who:

—Was impeached by his own party for corruption
—Paid $300,000 to settle his felony fraud charges
—Had multiple extramarital affairs
—Is under investigation for mortgage fraud
—Stole a $1,000 pen from another lawyer
—Was sued for firing whistleblowers

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

This is the best thing sane people can do right now — in any amount:

https://t.co/sO0slThvbv

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

Ken Paxton is proof that nothing is going back to “normal” after Trump leaves.

Unless we force it back to normal. It is up to us.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America. 

He embodies the broken system we’re running against.

It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

[Jonathan Dean @Dean4IL]

Because if you want the Strait of Hormuz open on Saturday, the best thing to do is go back on your word, break the ceasefire, and attack Iran on Sunday.

Total incompetence.
