Let it be known, Georgia GOP Senate candidate @MikeCollinsGA proudly supports Trump's $1.8 billion "weaponization" slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists. When asked if he supports it Mike says "that's easy, yes".

Share this with a Georgia voter you know today.

Ossoff: “Yesterday we heard Congressman Mike Collins unacceptably and disgustingly call for taxpayer-funded payouts to the violent thugs who ransacked the United States Capitol to try to overturn the 2020 election.

Congressman Collins needs to immediately come out and publicly retract his support for these taxpayer-funded payouts to violent insurrectionists. Furthermore, the congressman needs to publicly retract his false and disgraceful continued insistence that Donald Trump won the 2020 election, which Donald Trump lost decisively here in Georgia and across the country.

Let me again be very clear. There is no place for taxpayer-funded payouts to violent insurrectionists who ransacked the United States Capitol and tried on January 6th to overturn a free and fair election, and for a sitting congressman and a candidate for the United States Senate to come out and call for taxpayer dollars to go to those violent thugs who attacked the Capitol is disgraceful. Congressman Collins needs to come out and hold a press conference today. He needs to retract his unacceptable support for taxpayer-funded payouts to the violent mob who sacked the United States Capitol.

And furthermore, he needs to retract and apologize for his continued indulgence in the lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 election.”

MAJOR BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt will be permanently leaving her position at the White House as Press Secretary within weeks.

THANK GOD!

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Fun Fact: Karoline Leavitt is closer to her baby's age than her husband.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Karoline Leavitt was the worst White House Press Secretary in American history.

Zohran Mamdani, "We’re not running away from the Democratic Party. We’re going back to what the party used to be. You think about FDR and LaGuardia. You think about the New Deal. That’s what the Democratic Party once was. That’s what it could be again."

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: EXACTLY! Hunter Biden enrages MAGA world by defending Democratic Socialism in terms so simple that even a Trumper can understand them.

Big political changes are quickly sweeping this country...

"You know, and I hate these labels, Democratic Socialist, you know, what's a Democratic Socialist?" asked Hunter. "All a Democratic Socialist is somebody who believes the same thing that Teddy Roosevelt believed and his cousin FDR believed. It's the same thing that Lyndon Johnson believed and JFK believed. It's the same key thing that George Herbert Walker Bush believed to some extent..."

"I look at Democratic Socialism as meaning that we should have a safety net in this country, that we should take care of the vulnerable when they cannot necessarily fully take care of themselves, and that it is all of our responsibility to make certain that we provide for the safety and security of our neighbors," he added. "That's the socialism that— I don't know why we have to label it within the party."

It really is that simple. Democratic Socialism is the very simple idea that the American government should help working-class people instead of funneling more and more wealth to the oligarchs.

It's the idea that you should be able to get healthcare without going bankrupt.

That you should be able to afford a house for your family.

That your kids should get a good education.

That we should spend our money here in the U.S. instead of wasting it overseas in support of genocide.

Predictably, the MAGA loons came out of the woodwork to attack Hunter as a "communist," which is the reheated, pathetic narrative that Republicans are desperately trying to push ahead of the midterms. They can't argue policy and have nothing to offer the American people beyond more corruption, more wars, and more shielding of pedophiles. So they're resorting to lazy red-baiting.

Politicians like Mayor Zohran Mamdani have proven that not only can Democratic Socialists win, they can thrive once in power. He's incredibly popular and is reminding his city what it looks like when a leader actually cares about improving his constituents' lives instead of enriching himself.

We're done playing their games. It's high time that America rose up and started demanding the things that every other civilized nation provides to its citizens.

Please ❤️ and share if you support the policies of Democratic Socialism!

She was literally handed her brother’s seat and is sitting in that seat as we fucking speak.

[anyone_want_chips @anyonewantchips]

So the people who voted for Darline Graham because she’s Lindsey Graham’s sister - are the ones who called Kamala Harris unqualified.

[Nancy Sinatra @NancySinatra]

Yes please.

@TheJFreakinC I cannot wait for Nuremberg 2.0 in 2027.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

They keep pointing guns at U.S. citizens, putting everyone in danger, and violating the constitution. https://t.co/GYo4KR84nZ

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent POINTED A GUN at a U.S. citizen, through her car window, while threatening her, in Falls Church, Virginia.

And the excuse?

They claimed she “almost ran them over.”

Except… she had a dash cam recording the entire thing.

She immediately called their bullshit:

“You are so full of shit. I didn’t almost run anyone over.”

The agent tells her, “You aren’t funny.”

She responds, “You aren’t funny.”

Then he threatens her… “Keep it up, I will arrest you.” While he has his gun aimed inches away from her.

She says, “I’m a legal citizen, for what?”

And they keep threatening her with arrest.

Then, the agent repeats the accusation that she tried to run them over.

So, she tells him, “Run you over when? I have dash cam recording. That’s a lie.”

And suddenly… they WALK AWAY.

Because if she had actually tried to run federal agents over, why did they just leave after she called their bullshit, and said she had video proving them wrong?

And just to emphasize the seriousness of what happened…

An ARMED federal agent had his GUN POINTED AT A WOMAN, through her car window, while threatening her with arrest.

Pointing a firearm at someone is an enormous use of force that should NEVER be treated casually… especially when the supposed justification is an accusation they apparently couldn’t… or wouldn’t… back up.

She wasn’t arrested.

They didn’t show her evidence that she committed a crime.

They just threatened her, pointed a gun at her, and repeatedly told her they would lock her up if she continued following them.

And the SECOND she says, “I have it on dash cam,” they WALK AWAY.

Because apparently the threat disappears when there’s a camera that can prove what actually happened.

This is exactly why people need to DOCUMENT these encounters.

Because when armed federal agents can point guns at citizens, and make accusations with seemingly no consequences, the public needs cameras.

And when they threaten you for asking, “For what?”

keep recording.

Pete Buttigieg wants to scrap the Electoral College for a national popular vote.

He asks: “What if everybody’s vote just counted the same?”

I’m with Pete. Each and every one of our voices should be heard and counted 💯

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

Wow, you mean the person with the most votes wins the election? What a crazy idea.

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

We need a system where every election isn't decided by the same 7 states.

[Texas Democratic Party @texasdemocrats]

NEW: Ken Paxton has raked in campaign cash from the data center industry, while he stalls decisions as AG on data centers. This is corruption.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Bombshell new reporting just revealed Ken Paxton has taken hundreds of thousands from data center interests while slowing down local efforts to stop them. He’s unbelievably corrupt.

[Pablo Manríquez @PabloReports]

Another high stakes video by a courageous immigration attorney running off cowardly ICE agents.
