NEW: “The FEC is in receipt of a formal complaint levied against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) accusing of her using campaign donations to finance a lavish lifestyle that has nothing to do with the job voters sent her to Congress to do.” @RawStory

MAGA Republicans are still pushing their extreme budget proposal and would really hate it if you knew what was in it:
◦Eliminate 100,000 jobs for teachers and support staff
◦Cut thousands law enforcement positions
◦Put health insurance coverage at risk for 21 million Americans
◦Put food assistance at risk for nearly 1 million Americans
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: AOC DESTROYS Kevin McCarthy for the holding the national debt hostage and for suggesting Washington needs to “spend less.”
“Ok, then undo the yacht and private jet tax breaks the GOP passed for themselves,” AOC retorted.
“Why should single moms and veterans have to pay for the GOP’s giveaways to the rich?
Especially when you don’t even have the votes of your own caucus?” She added.
Let’s get this straight:
The Republicans want nothing more than to pretend that the debt ceiling needs to be lifted to accommodate next year's budget. They frame it that way relentlessly, and sad to say, lazy journalists buy into their framing. The debt ceiling needs to be raised to pay for all the spending the Republicans authorized in 2017 when they gave away a substantial chunk of the Treasury to their rich pals.
So now the time comes that we need to pay the country's bills incurred in the last several years and now coming due. But we're a little short on cash since we gave rich people more money, so now it's time for disabled and retired citizens to pungle up, and single mothers living close to the bone have to forego SNAP benefits. Because Kevin McCarthy couldn't possibly ask
mega billionaires to pay more.
The middle class should no longer carry the majority of the tax burden and the tax breaks for the rich. Let them pay their fair share for a change.
@lindyli Why did we hear about the red wave? Because the crazy extremists like MTG, Boebart, Oz, that loser in NH that lost, Trump, Cruz, Jordan, Cawthorn, etc… are clickbate. The loudest craziest politicians get the most press and make the most $ from speaking engagements & “donations”
Gen Z knows the Ted Cruz’s and old career politicians in the senate don’t care about them or their future. The GOP underestimated the power of pissed off potential young voters millions of followers and women who know how to fight for their rights.
@jazzercrafter@lindyli Pollsters/Politicians are clueless. No one under 55 answers an unknown phone number, clicks on a text or fills out a poll. Politicians place ads on TV & Facebook … 😝! They were oblivious to the voter registration campaigns (especially around abortion/human rights) taking place.

@juoslos@lindyli I know a few white middle age Republican men who were pissed off after Roe v. Wade was overturned. The GOP underestimated how unpopular anti-abortion, election denying extremist candidates were to most Americans, regardless of political affiliation. People voted for democracy.
@isobelks @MarySchlieder@ktkeeresists@Victorshi2020@dellavolpe Thank you for all that you do and have done to help others. Sadly, I think the original poster is stereotyping and has not been exposed to smart, compassionate, civic minded adults over his age. His only reference may be Mitch McConnell and family members like him.
@djcalgal@Victorshi2020@dellavolpe I love my older wiser friends and family who came of age when Roe v. Wade was passed and fought for my right to be treated as an equal in the workplace. This midterm was so important, every single one of my friends voted, some even crossed political lines to defend womens rights.
@KathieJuengling @VagabondaFFn @MysterySolvent Eh, money doesn’t buy taste or class. Did you see the photos from the rehearsal and dinner yesterday? The groom was in a faded maroon t-shirt and khakis at the rehearsal. The grooms family didn’t color coordinate. I’m not a fan of the brides family, but I preferred their clothes.
