THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE: Ron DeSantis is leading the charge by radical and authoritarian Republicans to ban books across America. Illinois Secretary of State Alexi @Giannoulias has figured out a brilliant way to FIGHT BACK, and has put forward the first-in-the-nation against such bans.

“Under the new bill, Illinois libraries would be required to either issue a statement that they will prohibit banning controversial materials and books or show they follow the ALA Library Bill of Rights, which says “materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.”

The best part about Alexis bill? If they don’t comply, the libraries will NOT be eligible for state grants.

Drop a ❤️ if you think Democrats across America should follow Alexi @Giannoulias lead on this issue by doing the same in their states.

@krassenstein Insanity.

BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says.

The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.

The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.

The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.

The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.

This is what we need to scream everywhere:

If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.

We have the answer. It’s the guns.

BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.

As Senator Fetterman Checks himself into Walter Reed Medical Center for Clinical Depression, here are some FACTS:

- 10-27% of post-stroke patients get depression.
- 8-10% of Americans Report having Depression
- 20% of Americans experience Mental Illness
- 21 Million adults in the US had an episode in 2022
- 1.9 Million children have diagnosed depression
- 1 American dies from suicide every 11 Seconds

Instead of attacking John Fetterman, let's work together to fight this illness that impacts so many of us.

@JoeNBC say it ain’t so. You blamed Mika because Christopher Miller was obfuscating??? She was crystal clear in her question and you steamrolled. Let the woman speak!

[Art Martin @gartmartin9]

@CharlotteAlter Dr Oz lied...about 1000 times tonight. Do you care? of course not.
Fetterman had some vocal processing issues. so what.
read the actual transcript of the debate and please point me to his specific errors...seriously. I dare you to do it.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

John Fetterman: "I've had a stroke. He's never let me forget that."

"I might miss some words during this debate, it might knock me down, but I’m going to keep getting back up."

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I don't want to hear it from MAGA Republicans.

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

Fetterman’s aware he has auditory & processing issues as a result of stroke.

He could’ve refused to debate like some candidates have. Instead, he went out there and let voters see his challenges and healing process.

Support him or not, that takes courage, humility and honesty.

[Colin Gubbins @RitleySammich]

last night my gf's dad asked me who i was voting for in the midterms and i told him i will be voting for the party who is not trying to overthrow the government and does not have the full support of the Nazi's & the entire room got quiet and looked at me so i said it again

[Tessa @TessaDurbey]

@JoeNBC Come on, guys. Stand up for the candidate who has a heart and guts, not the glib con man. It’s more than about his speech. It’s about what’s inside.

[Tessa @TessaDurbey]

@jk_rowling No we find it appropriate and touching.

@DanRather Correct. Actions define character.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Dear GOP: The de facto leader of your party is a dangerous criminal. And you know it.

[Tessa @TessaDurbey]

@gtconway3d They are bad people. Actions define character.
