When they offer school “choice” or health care “choice” or social security “choice” or Veterans “choice”- that’s privatization. You pay taxes, and instead of giving it back to you, Republicans give it to their rich CEO friends. Then they cut CEO taxes.

Just a quick note here in advance of Trump and Musk crashing the economy in 2025: Trump voters are going to blame Democrats for that too.

Read up on fascism and cults and stop assuming we have a rational electorate that’s actually looking at economic indicators. It simply isn’t.

Leaked recording of GA county election official Julie Adams, on possible post-Nov 5 plans: “Maybe we all find discrepancies & we file an immediate injunction. Maybe we go to the press. Maybe, when we’re certifying, we say we’re certifying under protest.” https://t.co/xYCQqMPhvd

*TRUMP DOESN'T WANT TO WIN THE ELECTION*

Trump is going to:

Coachella in LA County, California (Oct 12)
Madison Square Garden in New York (Oct 27)

The election? November 5

None of it makes sense, until you think about it the way he does.

This is an absolutely must-watch. All of it. Five minutes. Imperative.

BREAKING: Trump and Putin have had at least SEVEN one on one phone calls since Trump left the presidency.

Private citizens are forbidden under the federal Logan Act from engaging in foreign policy undercutting America.

So we have 7 new potential violations to investigate.

🧵 One of the things that genuinely pisses me off regularly is the absolute non-coverage of the fact that everything the Biden administration has had to deal with for 4 years are specific, unambiguous examples of Donald Trump's intentional sabotage of this country.

Since Hurricane Helene made landfall, there have been false claims and misinformation regarding the federal assistance available to survivors, from former President Trump, Congressional Republicans, and others.

These claims are not true. 🧵

Hey Iowa - did you know the voucher program passed with only GOP votes here includes an unlimited appropriation? Unlimited.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Over the past 20 years, Republican counties have become increasingly reliant on the government assistance. Those voters seem not to be aware that their party is trying to cut the programs that they rely on.

#desantis has turned down over $11 billion in infrastructure funds, which would have gone a long way to update drainage issues, as well as rejecting flood insurance regulations.
But he'll take that free emergency money! #Florida

According to The Des Moines Register, only 16 percent of sexual assault kits were tested in Iowa last year. Despite this shocking figure, AG Bird’s office has declined “repeated requests to interview experts in her office.”
