Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Now Virginia has a chance to help level the playing field. If you live in the Commonwealth, early voting begins March 6, and Election Day is on April 21. Vote YES.
@InsiderWire It saying I condone this (I don’t. I understand it but don’t condone it), but according Trump’s Jan 6 standards this is peaceful protest.
Just sayin…
@RpsAgainstTrump@grok@grok, let’s try again. I asked would Donald Trump be considered at this point one of the worst and or corrupt leaders in American history?
Embarrassing and shameful response from an American President. This is sick stuff.
@SpeakerJohnson will you condemn these comments or just say you have not seen or heard them?
Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered. I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it.
Rob Reiner and his wife were tragically killed at the hands of their own son, who reportedly had drug addiction and other issues, and their remaining children are left in serious mourning and heartbreak.
This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies.
Many families deal with a family member with drug addiction and mental health issues. It’s incredibly difficult and should be met with empathy especially when it ends in murder.
Got my Irish going this week fighting for answers.
Elon Musk cut cancer treatments for kids. He went after veterans' services. He took an axe to Social Security.
He thinks he can run back to Tesla and hide from us. He needs to come before Congress and the American people!
Marga, you won’t see this in your echo chamber or Fox News. Turns out that Trump did the exact same thing that he’s accusing Tish James of doing. “Oops!”
Actor Michael Keaton on Trump supporters: “When Trump said ‘I could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and they’d still vote for me,’ basically what he’s saying is these people are so stupid, they’d still vote for me. They have no respect for you, trust me”
We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.
But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.
Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.
🚨HOLY SHIT: Dick Durbin asked Pam Bondi point blank if she consulted with the White House about not releasing the Epstein files AND SHE REFUSED TO ANSWER: “I'm not going to discuss anything about that with you.”
THROW THEM ALL IN PRISON.
Collins: You do have people in your district who are in the Obamacare marketplace. I think it's about 36,000 of them. Do you believe that the subsidies should be extended so premiums don't go up?
Jordan: Let's not keep subsidizing, expanding, and extending Obamacare
Collins: So, you’re against the subsidies?
Jordan: I think we should look for other ways to improve health care for Americans, for families, and do it at a cheaper cost
Collins: What could you do in the next 3 months? Republicans who have wanted to get rid of Obamacare for so long, you're one of them. You said the subsidies before you believed were illegal. They have never introduced a comprehensive plan to replace Obamacare. So I think most Americans who are saying open enrollment starts November 1st don't have faith that you're going to change
Jordan: I tell you what the Democrats want. The Democrats want health care for people who are non-citizens.
Collins: Don't change the subject
Sen. Mark Kelly: "Mike Johnson has to get Republicans back to Washington, D.C....He doesn't want to deal with this. He doesn't want to deal with Epstein issues. He doesn't want to swear in Adelita Grijalva...The Speaker of the House just doesn't want to do his job."
