Does their "right to life" include protection from capital punishment? How about a right to life-saving health treatment? Are hospitals bound to keep humans on respirators indefinitely? Does it include a right to food, water, and shelter? 🤔

Someone should tell @Jim_Jordan @StaceyPlaskett and the rest of the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government about this.

Seems like it falls in their wheelhouse.

In the wake of the #TempleIsrael shooting, I just want to remind people:

Stop using the term "antisemitism" and start using "anti-judaism" or "judeophobia."

Calling hatred of Jewish people "antisemitism" is like calling hatred of Black people "antinubianism." Why do that?

A more accurate title: "GOP Senate makes non-committal gesture to negotiate healthcare if Dems agree to give up on all their demands and relinquish all their leverage right now to re-open the govt. GOP House says no."

There, I fixed it for you, @ABC

I asked Grok what it would do with $300B. Nowhere in its reply did it suggest buying elections for favorable politicians and destroying public services.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which held his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

The only DEI hire I wanna see get shit-canned is Clarence Thomas.

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

Yeah.... this is real.

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

@tbonier It's it possible to show the actual number of voters instead of percent? Curious how many of those likely switched from mail to early in person and how many just opted not to vote.

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

With all the bomb threats, ballot boxes on fire.... & no telling what else might have gone on backstage, rejecting valid mail-in votes by people with "Mexican and Black sounding names"?

But we're won't hear a peep from the right about "election security"... until 2026, I'm sure

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

I'm sure the bomb threats at polling stations in heavily blue counties had nothing to due with the lower turnout.

[Tom Bonier @tbonier]

A few observations - the mail vote in GA was almost identical to 2020, with Biden and Harris winning it by about 30 pts. The big difference? The state made mail voting more restrictive this time around and it went from 26% of the statewide total vote to only 5%.

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

Another thing... I don't want to hear another fucking word from MAGA/GOP about "election integrity" ever again. All these MAGA loyalist "poll watchers" to "make sure the dems don't cheat." And suddenly mail in votes disappear in favor of where MAGA are turning out more?

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

@mattgaetz4head @atrupar We got the records for me and my wife. Mine shows voting through 2016. My wife's shows that she didn't vote in the 2016 general. She was right there with me, on election day. We took our kids with us.

It does seem suspicious.

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

Maybe he's right. But Harris DID have policies for how to help parents, homebuyers, a path to citizenship for immigrants. She and Biden have presided over an amazing, booming economy, but no one believed that because corporations saw that citizens had more money and said GIMME!

[Team Idris @Team_idris]

Soooo, just like in the U.K. elections it won’t make any difference at all, because they aren’t in charge.

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

@tbonier No, they didn't. The polls consistently showed a coin-flip, which we got
Big Q: how he won the popular vote by so much, considering he's never polled at a majority and has always had a negative approval rating? Was there more cheating than just the threats against polling places?

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

Is this just massive fraud? Is that what we're seeing? Because he's got over 50% of the popular vote right now and that's literally never happened

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

@HC_Richardson this is a serious question. From a historical perspective.... Is this just the end of a liberal America? Are we going to need a new constitution after it all burns down?

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

How do we even keep fighting after this? If Dems can't win with booming economy, low crime, low unemployment, abortion rights in peril, against a whining, demented, lying rapist with no platform....

Is the lesson here that we're just too racist and sexist to do the right thing?

[Skip Ashseed @SkipAshseed]

If this doesn't turn around as a "red mirage* I'm never going to forgive @HC_Richardson and @tbonier for giving me false hope this whole week. You really had me believing "the polls aren't telling the truth" but so far they look like they were dead on.

@LakerFan1234000 Don't forget the supreme Court

[deray @deray]

Trump lied throughout this election. He had no policy platform, no fact checking and was racist, bigoted and xenophobic.

White supremacy is winning. That’s what is winning tonight. It’s not skill.
