@BoardGameArena Maintenance is good. but you did it without warning. what happens to games in progress?

[MarkWolfinger @MarkWolfinger]

Seems obvious to me. From Reuters: "President Joe Biden's chances of re-election are jeopardized by voters' concerns over his age, the economy, and crime, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, creating an opportunity for Trump to return to the White House." Please, Joe, do not run.

@AmandaTylerBJC @RepRaskin Indoctrination. They accuse others of "indoctrinating our kids" -- but Christian Nationalists represent the largest group of indoctrinators in the country. Indoctrination into White Supremacy & hatred for others is the mantra. Amamda -- do not stop talking about this. Thank you.

@AaronParnas The truth is that people may own these guns, but they almost NEVER use them for defensive purposes.

[MarkWolfinger @MarkWolfinger]

Because they believe the lies originating with Donald Trump. They believe -- and there is nothing that we can do about it except to be certain that Democrats and Independents know the truth.

1. The unemployment rate is 3.5%

The U.S. has added an average of 312K jobs every month for the last year

GDP growth has been 2.0% or higher for a year

Inflation is down to 3.2%

If the U.S. economy is doing well, why do so many Americans say it's terrible?

Congress must quickly decide a national rule under which a candidate for office is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. We cannot allow any election official in any state to disqualify someone.

Parents argue that LGBQ content in the classroom amounts to indoctrination and conflicts with their religious beliefs. However, what they cannot understand is that THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS REPRESENTS the INDOCTRINATION of children.

[MarkWolfinger @MarkWolfinger]

@jackiekcalmes We can all agree that the 14th Amendment bars Trump from the presidency -- if he is a resurrectionist. But is he from a legal point of view? He has not yet been convicted of that crime and his supporters would argue that he is not a resurrectionist.

What is the most important quality you want in an elected leader?

[MarkWolfinger @MarkWolfinger]

What a waste of time.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Twice this century, the loser of the popular vote has won the presidency.

Here's a plan to make sure that never happens again.

[MarkWolfinger @MarkWolfinger]

Maybe, but the cost will be Trump's re-election and that price is unthinkable.

Wow. In 4 minutes, former U.S. Marine Marksmanship Instructor and Arizona Sec. of State @Adrian_Fontes dismantles the right's Second Amendment lies. Watch this till the end.

[MarkWolfinger @MarkWolfinger]

Agree, but CNN obviously believes they can control the conversation and get answers to the hard question.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

How to cover a fascist in 2023? Don’t. LP chief of staff @Ryan_N_Wiggins explains how major news outlets just have not learned from the missteps of 2016 and 2020.

[MarkWolfinger @MarkWolfinger]

@PastorSJCamp @coachG61 Defend yourself. Sure. But not with an assault weapon -- unless you are being attacked by an army.

[MarkWolfinger @MarkWolfinger]

@kurtbardella @thereidout Bad idea. Slippery slope.

[MarkWolfinger @MarkWolfinger]

You miss the point. The Republican party does not care about saving any lives. They only want to save the right to own assault weapons.

[Nathan @NathanBrown2345]

I was born and raised in Texas.

I learned to shoot a gun when I was in elementary school.

I went dove hunting for the first time in middle school.

I was taught how important it is to support the 2nd amendment and the rights of citizens to own guns.

But most importantly, I learned that you can protect the 2nd amendment while implementing common sense gun reform outlined in this powerful video👇

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: A First responder in the Texas mall shooting pours water over the bullsh*t GOP narrative:

“It wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle with bullets,” he said.

“Prayers and condolences won't bring these people back. We need action in the federal and state legislatures for better gun control,” witness Steven Spainhouer told MSNBC.

“I’m saying this as someone who loves guns….I'm a former police officer. I’m a former Army officer.”

Spainhouer rushed desperately to aid those wounded and dying after shots rang out a little after 3:30 p.m. May 6.
He said the victims had such horrific injuries that they had to be loaded into police cars because ambulances would not have gotten them to nearby trauma facilities fast enough. 

He also said he also found a child, who survived while covered by his protective mother who had been killed.

Ultimately, Spainhouer says what he witnessed Saturday will haunt him for the rest of his life. 

Now, he’s calling on Congress to DO SOMETHING.

Thank you former officer Spainhouer for speaking out! 💙

[MarkWolfinger @MarkWolfinger]

Why do we protect the right of law-abiding citizens to own assault rifles, but do nothing to protect the law-abiding citizens who are killed with these weapons?

[Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi]

We are devastated by the deadly toll that gun violence continues to take on America’s families. I say again to my colleagues, we must overcome pressure from the gun industry and act to save lives.
