Trump says we lost 38k lives building Panama Canal.
False. 5,609 of 56k workers -mostly from Barbados, Jamaica, and other Caribbean islands- died during construction.
Trump says Chinese soldiers running the Canal. False. It’s run by Panama Canal Authority, staffed entirely by Panamanians.
Trump is musing about using military force against Panama. Panama is our strong friend and ally.
Yup. Perfectly normal.🤦🏻♀️
I'd just like to remind everybody that trump INHERITED President Obama's excellent economy and fucked it up, and he's about to inherit President Biden's excellent economy and fuck it up too.
He's the Bankruptcy Baron.
He's NOT good at business.
MARK MY WORDS: If Trump moves forward with imposing 20% across-the-board tariffs (60% for Chinese goods!), consumer prices will rise immediately. Americans will instantly feel the inflationary impact, and Trump’s approval numbers will plummet.
Buyer’s remorse will set in fast.
Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory. And I assured him that I would direct my entire Administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.
That’s what the American people deserve.
DEMS HOLD #NV03!
Nevadans know that @SusieLeeNV puts their needs and best interests first, no matter what. That’s why they're sending her back to Congress where she will continue to work across the aisle to deliver real results for Nevada. Congrats, Congresswoman!
Thank you to the people of the Bronx and Queens for re-electing me to another term in Congress.
As a waitress, I never thought serving in Congress would ever be a reality.
It will always remain the honor of my life to serve our community.
Thank you Vice President @KamalaHarris for putting your faith in me, and selecting me as your running mate. Campaigning at your side was the honor and privilege of my life.
The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too.
Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as immigrants flee. Your daughter dying of sepsis because the lawyers feel it’s too risky to perform that D&C.
No more FAFSA for your kids college because you didn’t know that was part of the Department of Education. Veterans having their benefits cut because they rolled back the PACT Act as too expensive. That factory in town that was going to build chips and employ your kids never breaking ground because of the repeal of the CHIPs act. The bridge that was going to cut your commute in half being canceled because of the repeal of the Infrastructure Act.
That sweet government job that you’ve loved because you can work 8 hours a day and fish on the weekends has been slated for a MAGA Schedule F slot because it controls funding for contracts that will go to Republican donors, so you’re fired without cause or any union protections.
You’ll blame Biden or the local Democrats probably. But it will be fine because Elon promised it would be uncomfortable at first but it will get better. You were just so sure it would be uncomfortable for…you know…”those people.” Not you.
But that’s leopards for you. They eat whatever is available.
Anyone blaming Harris or Walz today has utterly lost the plot & missed the point.
This is fundamentally about America, toxic masculinity, & white supremacy.
Blaming Harris would be part of that problem, not the solution.
She deserves our thanks.
Thank you, @vp@KamalaHarris
I see a lot of trump bots and slack-jawed clowns in my replies telling me that I should pack up and LEAVE America because we've experienced a setback.
First of all, fuck you. Clearly, you don't understand what PATRIOTISM means.
Patriots who truly LOVE their country don't just pack up and leave when we experience adversity; we fight.
Patriots don't love their country ONLY when we win; I proudly voted for Kamala Harris, thought she ran a fantastic campaign, but while votes are still being counted, it appears we fell short.
You won't see me storming the Capitol over it.
But we're now facing a situation where many Americans now face the risk of losing healthcare, losing Social Security and Medicare, and many other hard-earned rights, and I will not be silent in the face of it.
And you fuckers clearly don't understand the meaning of the word DEFIANT. Look it up.
It means I'm not going ANYWHERE.
It means if you don't like what I have to say, tough shit -- I will be using that Freedom of Speech you're so fond of touting when it comes to YOUR right to shitpost and threaten and spread disinformation.
It means fuck you, I'm Brooklyn Dad DEFIANT, bitches.
Deal with it. 🖕🤨🖕
Wisconsin voter: I voted for Trump before. I was gravely disappointed. I would never vote for a convicted felon for president of the United States. We need younger people
Three polling locations in major blue areas of Fulton, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties are going to stay open later because of bomb threats originating from Russia.
MAGA clowns were celebrating the disruption until they found out folks will now be able to vote even later. #gapol
Republican Mayor of Mesa, Arizona John Giles: John McCain always taught us to put country over party. So tomorrow, this lifelong Republican is excited to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because I know that they will put the country first.
Donald Trump likes to claim that he’s done more for Black folks than any president since Abraham Lincoln. But as this piece outlines, that is another one of his shameless lies. On Tuesday, let’s make the right choice and elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! https://t.co/KY7Ffe8mxY
