I hope you will take a couple of minutes to watch this. Her name is Melanie Moore and she is from Georgia.
The whole country needs to hear this. Please watch.
(📢) RETWEET: If you want Joe Biden to remain POTUS; if you want the man we just democratically elected in our primaries to be our nominee; if you agree this POTUS is one of the best we’ve had—as historians say—call your reps to say so. Because all his *enemies* sure as hell are.
We are witnessing, in real time, one of the biggest failures of curiosity in the history of journalism.
Katy Tur, squatting in the same building as trump at the RNC, is practicing her best tone of respectful reverence and fangirling as she looks at the mattress-sized gauze on the side of trump's head, and it doesn't occur to her to inquire what he was treated for.
Did he get stitches? If so, how many? Why is the bandage so insanely huge? The photographs didn't appear to show any discernible wound whatsoever.
No, these jackasses are reserving their most harsh interrogations for President Biden, demanding to know if he watched the entire debate from 14 fucking days ago, and who is he listening to, and for the 100th time, is he sure he doesn't want to drop out.
In fact, President Biden has politely attempted to steer the press' focus back to doing their jobs, asking Lester Holt why nobody's asking trump about the 28 lies he told during that debate.
It's outrageous. If you're going to subject one candidate to a body cavity-exam level of scrutiny, subject BOTH candidates to it.
Come on, you can't adequately or honestly "both sides" anything if you're only scrutinizing one side.
Nobody has even asked trump about the discrepancy of denying his involvement with Project 2025 and the fact that he knows many of its planners, and it mentions his name hundreds of times. FAILURE OF CURIOSITY.
Where are the questions about his weird fixation on Hannibal Lecter, or sharks, or any of the other batshit things he gets away with saying at all times?
How about asking him why he admitted to a discussion with Putin BEFORE the Ukraine invasion, or why he said Putin would release hostages to him, and not President Biden?
What about asking him why he was tooling around with the authoritarian leader of Hungary?
It does seem like, even prior to the shooting this weekend, the press has wrapped trump in a protective gauze as ridiculously oversized as his ear mattress.
He's not even the sitting President, but many members of the press have granted him immunity from asking him any fucking questions.
They're even allowing non-doctors to accuse President Biden of having dementia, while saying that trump DOES NOT -- and not an iota of pushback.
Once again, it's a disgraceful display of burying Biden under an avalanche of insipid inquiries and bullshit while extending utmost deference to a would-be dictator who plans to lock many of them up if he wins.
And they are shamelessly helping him.

Each day I will highlight an area of Trumps Project2025 fascist plan and how it will affect you.
✨⭐️Day 6⭐️✨
Today I will focus on HEALTHCARE. The plan calls for
🚩Repealing the Affordable Care Act which would raise healthcare costs and threaten coverage for millions
🚩Full privatization of Medicare
🚩Repealing Biden’s Medicare drug price negotiation program; reverses cap on insulin
🚩Removing vaccine mandates
🚩Cutting CDC vaccine research and preparedness
🚩Eliminating federal services to LGBTQ community
🚩Establishing a work requirement for Medicaid
🚩Requiring Medicaid recipients pay for some care
🚩Putting a lifetime cap on Medicaid benefits
Medicaid appears in #Project2025 55 times, Medicare appears 50 times, and the Affordable Care Act 12 times
#VoteBlue2024 to protect our HEALTHCARE and #StopProject2025
JD Vance is SO afraid to face Kamala Harris and defend his past abhorrent statements on abortion that he is refusing to debate her.
Retweet if you refuse to let Vance hide from his record
We see you, JD. 👀

Some folks have flagged for me this quickly deleted post from the main Teamsters account.
Apparently not everyone within IBT is pleased with O’Brien’s endorsement of Hawley’s views.
You might not have time to read PROJECT 2025-the 900+ page document tRUMP claimed "I know nothing about" while adding "I wish them luck". But surely you have 4 minutes to watch a preview of the apocalyptic horrors to come if he gets a 2nd term.
WATCH THIS & SPREAD THE WORD!!!
Okhmatdyt annually treats 20,000+ children from all over Ukraine. The missile completely destroyed the operating rooms, entire toxicology wing & life-saving equipment. The children have been evacuated to other hospitals. Every donation matters. PLEASE HELP https://t.co/oozeebcfGl
When I cast my vote for President Biden, I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted trump out of office.
I knew he was old.
I knew he had a stutter.
I knew he had a rep for "gaffes."
I didn't care. Just wanted trump gone.
Four years later, things are different.
I wasn't expecting that President Biden would be the most legislatively successful President in my lifetime.
I wasn't expecting him to help expand NATO.
I wasn't expecting him to lower insulin & inhalers.
I wasn't expecting him to create & recover 15m jobs.
I wasn't expecting him to bring manufacturing back.
I wasn't expecting him to forgive student debt.
But he did ALL those things, and more.
He surpassed my expectations by a lot.
And he has more planned for 2025-2028.
He's not a master orator,
He doesn't move so smoothly
But neither did FDR from his wheelchair.
Meanwhile, trump is STILL a threat.
He wants to be a dictator.
He wants to stay out of prison.
He wants revenge on his enemies.
He wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the ultra wealthy.
His Project 2025 will enable a national abortion ban to criminalize women seeking safe and legal abortions.
His Project 2025 will take away the rights of our LGBTQ family and friends.
His Project 2025 will transform the government into a loyalty pledge, not to America but to him ALONE.
We might never have another free election.
THAT is what is at stake in this election.
We can continue to progress with Biden policies, or we can let trump destroy democracy as we know it.
If you're looking for someone who's young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie.
I'll take the old guy who needs a nap while saving democracy over the old guy trying to overthrow democracy who needs a legal team.
dear media—
for fuck's sake, don't waste everyone's time by asking Biden if he feels he can do the job, or if he plans to drop out. you already know his answer.
ask substantive questions about policy and see what answers you get. that's how you'll find out if Biden can still lead
I have no idea to what extent this presser moves the needle politically — but reporters who spent the last few weeks breathlessly accusing White House staff of perpetrating a Weekend-at-Bernie's cover-up look like absolute fucking morons right now.
Man, I watched President Biden share facts and figures, off the cuff, for an hour and I came away from that press conference with the certainty that he's still got it.
And trump could NEVER hold up in a press conference like that.
