@RpsAgainstTrump Are we still using "gay" as a pejorative?

@RachelBitecofer Swing district Rs already cast "career ending' votes before the 2024 election.

When will their careers end?

Waiting...

@JenniferEValent This is exactly what drove me crazy with the "inject bleach" episode.

He thought he could make a valid suggestion to researchers who have studied virology, etc. their whole lives.

Like they would smack their heads and say "Why didn't we think of that?"

@TheTNHoller @JohnFetterman @JohnFetterman is trying to get the swing votes in 2028 from his own swingiest state.

[Laurie @MeditationsinMo]

@TheTNHoller @JohnFetterman @Timodc I believe Fetterman is trying to position himself as the "Centrist" Democratic presidential candidate in 2028.

@ArtMcDonald420 Setting an awesome example for me right now

[Laurie @MeditationsinMo]

@JenniferEValent Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves.

[Laurie @MeditationsinMo]

@ChrisDJackson No question, but that's a pretty low bar.

[Laurie @MeditationsinMo]

@JaredRyanSears But...the guy who will replace him will be much, much worse.

@RadioFreeTom Don't forget polio!

[Laurie @MeditationsinMo]

@FPWellman This says a lot about the kind of man you are.

Wonderful story!

[Laurie @MeditationsinMo]

@ArtMcDonald420 Congrats! You did it!!!

[Jared Ryan Sears @JaredRyanSears]

If you're angry because:
-Inflation is high
-Crime is rising
-Migrants are invading
-Fentanyl Overdoses are rising
-The economy is bad

The truth is:
-Inflation isn't high, it is 2.6%
-Crime has been falling for years and continues to fall
-Border crossings are the lowest in over 4 years
-Fentanyl overdoses are dropping rapidly
-America has the best economy in the world

You're actually angry about the endless lies designed to keep you upset, scared, and willing to support those who will make your life worse and take your rights away to "solve" these issues.

Be angry at the people lying to you.

@brucemontejr @SteveRattner @Bloomberg Agreed. The US imports more than it exports to Mexico. That's what a trade deficit is.

[Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks]

In 2005, George W. Bush tried to privatize Social Security. The more he talked about it, the less popular it became.

Republicans are still trying to destroy Social Security, but now they want to do it sneakily, behind closed doors.

We won't let them.

[Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks]

If anyone tries to destroy Social Security and steal our earned benefits, they will pay a heavy political price.

[Laurie @MeditationsinMo]

@BettyBowers Love it that Mitch McConnell is a thorn in Trump's side.

[Laurie @MeditationsinMo]

@RachelBitecofer It gave Trump fuel for his negative ads.

Democrats are now perceived by the working class as elite out-of-touch snobs.

We must do better on messaging.
