1/Saddened to hear of Jimmy Carter's death, but I'm happy that my new book, Den of Spies, helps correct the characterization of him as a weakling who allowed the US to be humiliated by Iran. In fact, it proves that Carter's 1980 presidential campaign was sabotaged by a treasonous covert operation run by the Reagan campaign.

Hey @MikeRogersForMI, love the stock footage of that Norwegian couple! 😂 Guess hiring actual Michiganders to support your senate campaign was just too much work? Or maybe you couldn’t find any?
The only thing Mike will fight for in DC is himself. He clearly can’t be bothered.
BREAKING: Democratic Senator Dick Durbin drops a bomb on MAGA world and announces that his Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the Supreme Court's absurdly fascist ruling that gave Donald Trump broad immunity for crimes committed in office.
This comes not a moment too soon...
"Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a full committee hearing on the ramifications of the ruling from the Supreme Court’s right-wing supermajority in the Donald Trump immunity case on September 24,” said Durbin in a statement on X.
"Congress can’t turn a blind eye to the dangers of the Donald Trump immunity decision by the Supreme Court. We’re going to highlight the blaring dangers of this far-right ruling for the American people," Durbin added.
The ruling in question has been lambasted by legal scholars and threw up a major road bump for Special Counsel Jack Smith's prosecution.
Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has correctly warned that the right-wingers on the court have now put the president in a pedestal above other Americans. They quite literally want him to be above the law — an idea that would have horrified the Founding Fathers.
If this disastrous ruling is not overturned America could find itself sliding into a full-blown monarchy, which increasingly appears to be exactly what Republicans intend.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you believe that even presidents should not be above the law — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

So, VP @KamalaHarris has posted her official policy agenda on her campaign website. The healthcare section includes, among other solid items, making the enhanced #ACA subsidies of the IRA permanent.
Here's an idea of how important this is for over 21 MILLION Americans: 1/
My duty - and that of every election official in this nation - is to rise above the noise and continue to ensure our elections are fair, secure, accessible, and that the results are accurate. No amount of lies, delusions or threats will distract us from that purpose.
Our friends Elon and X have been throttling our posts the past 48 hours. 👎
Retweet this if you’re seeing it and want Kamala Harris to be the next President. 👍🙏
Three days ago, we exposed @JohnJamesMI for setting a congressional record in stock trading law violations, he filed a record 143 trades that violate the STOCK Act.
His trading volume has soared to over $1,193,000, with a staggering $1.01 million in purchases and only $176,000 in sales. What a shocking disconnect from everyday people!
While he talks about respecting workers and the rule of law, his actions reveal he’s completely out of touch with the struggles of normal folks. It's a hollow charade.
If you're trying to figure out how to plug in to do more this election than in '22 or '20, talk to your local electeds and local party! We need help talking to voters (face to face, phone, text) and delivering voter guides, postcards, and more!
Half of Americans: Climate change isn't impacting me.
The same Americans: It's so hot! Food prices are so high! They doubled my insurance bill! My kid is sick again! They cancelled school because of the heat?! Wait... the power is out?!?

Hillsdale College helped author Trump’s dangerous Project 2025. It’s an extremist plan that poses significant threats to all of Michigan’s hard won gains, from protecting reproductive freedom to enabling Trump to turn into a dictator. We made a sign to expose the truth across Michigan. Once you see what’s in it you will know to vote against Trump and these policies that are written for him.
Spread the word! And to whomever did this with this signs… well done sir. 😂

Thanks to @JocelynBenson's leadership, Michiganders can go to the polls this year knowing that every eligible voter will be able to cast a ballot freely, have it handled securely and counted fairly 🗳️🇺🇲🦅 #election2024
🇺🇸 It was an honor to have President Biden visit our district to talk about record investments for America! He is the most pro-union President in American history, and the Biden-Harris administration continues to build the middle class from the bottom up and the middle out 1/2
We are *so lucky* in Michigan to have a literal voting rights expert as our Secretary of State!! It was fun to discuss the important role higher ed plays in a democratic society, and challenge attendees to step up a little more than they did last election #AFTVotes@aftmichigan
