Mike Johnson just told you the quiet part out loud: Republicans have a plan to gut Social Security next year.
They’re waiting until after the midterms so you can’t vote against it.
Make this the only issue that matters in November. #HandsOffSocialSecurity
This is not a surprise to anyone who works on military readiness. The fact that Hegseth thought that implementing a political agenda at the cost of readiness suggest that immediate impeachment would be appropriate since he won’t have the decency to resign.
It’s game on in Alabama, where two military veterans are challenging Senator “Coach” Tommy Tuberville’s eligibility to run for governor because he’s not actually an Alabama resident. https://t.co/crAmHU2nhG
One of my favorite lines in the complaint: “At a meeting of the Shoals Republican Club on August 3, 2019, Tuberville candidly conceded that he ‘has property’ in Alabama but is not an ‘everyday resident of Alabama,’ describing himself as a ‘carpetbagger.’”
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package:
Overturn Citizens United
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks
Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this corrupt system.
Now Trump says Iran deserves to have ballistic missiles because everyone else has them, we were going to run out of oil if he didn’t end the war, and you shouldn’t care about Iran because the stock market is at a record high.
Absolute clown show.
$12 million. That's how much taxpayer money the Trump Administration spent to rehire the same federal workers they'd previously fired.
Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse – this Administration commits all three on a daily basis.
Holy shit this is bad.
Strait of Hormuz = free transit for 60 days, after that it’s up to Iran and Oman
Nothing on missiles.
All Iranian sanctions removed.
$300 billion to Iran on top of releasing all frozen funds.
We didn’t win a single point. Holy shit.
CNN montage of Trump bashing the JCPOA and releasing any money to Iran:
I would have never given him back the money. I would have said, the money is off the table. Let's start negotiating. And you know what? I would have won that negotiation
Summary of the Iran deal:
Iran: we want 25 billion
Trump: get your shit together or we’re going to give you 150 billion!
Iran. …
Trump: you know what, make it $300 billion and we don’t even have to talk about your missiles or the proxies
FOX: “We learned why the Iranians are eager to sign on to this deal — Iran will be able to start selling oil again on the global marketplace… and nobody is disputing they’ll have access to a $300 BILLION fund.”
GENERAL: “The $300,000,000,000 is real. Who cares where it comes from? The Iranians are still in charge. They’re gonna take that money and recover everything. You know that, Sean.”
Even Fox guests aren’t letting them pretend Trump’s deal is good. (Obama had a deal for far less)
Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
