It is *fact*, not feeling or opinion, that when you don't know anything about what's happening in this country, you vote Republican. If you're informed, you vote Democratic.

That's been true for nearly the whole of my lifetime, not as a matter of rhetoric but a matter of *fact*.

[Jared Ryan Sears @JaredRyanSears]

Which of these reasons was why you voted for Trump?

🔸Gas prices! - are higher than when Trump took office

🔸Drill, Drill, Drill! - There were zero bids for drill leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Cook Inlet. Fewer rigs are operating than before Trump took office.

🔸Crypto President! - Bitcoin has lost 34% of its value since Trump took office.

🔸Tariffs will create jobs! - Manufacturing has lost 115,000 jobs since Trump took office. There have been over 1.3 million layoffs, and the overall unemployment rate has increased.

🔸Tariffs will make us rich! - Tariffs cost the average US household $1,000 last year. We pay them, not other countries.

🔸DOGE will make us rich! - DOGE hardly cut anything and cost us more than it saved.

🔸No More Wars! - Trump started a war with Iran after invading and deposing Venezuela’s leader.

🔸A Better Economy! - Job creation dropped from over 120,000 each month to 15,000 per month. GDP growth slowed from 2.8% to 2.2%. PCE, the Fed's preferred inflation metric, increased in 2025.

🔸Fix the National Debt! - It increased by $2.2 trillion last year

Everything is getting worse.

@allenanalysis Except Crenshaw was defeated by a more MAGA opponent? Doesn't quite fit the narrative.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

@3rdAndDegen @samstein Are you a bot? Surely no human can be so callous and ignorant. Because of DHS, he wandered around the streets lost for up to 5 days in freezing temperatures, and died.

@KristiNoem One day your descendants will have to change their last name because of the stigma attached to it. You will go down in American history books as one of the country’s biggest villains.

[Jordan @TweetsByJRy]

@JDVance It is so disappointing to see someone as smart and talented as you use their platform to mislead and gaslight the American people.

[Jordan @TweetsByJRy]

@TriciaOhio You are a liar, and have no shame. Your profile says you are Christian... you must be terrified of the fate that awaits you.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable.

That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was both unlawful and unwise. We’ve seen this movie before. Wars for regime change or oil that are sold as strength but turn into chaos, and American families pay the price.

The American people do not want this, and they are tired of being lied to.

This is not about drugs or democracy. It is about oil and Donald Trump’s desire to play the regional strongman. If he cared about either, he wouldn’t pardon a convicted drug trafficker or sideline Venezuela’s legitimate opposition while pursuing deals with Maduro’s cronies.

The President is putting troops at risk, spending billions, destabilizing a region, and offering no legal authority, no exit plan, and no benefit at home.

America needs leadership whose priorities are lowering costs for working families, enforcing the rule of law, strengthening alliances, and — most importantly — putting the American people first.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

President Trump did a whole lot of lying on "60 Minutes." Here's a fact check of 18 of his false claims to Norah O’Donnell, the vast majority of them previously debunked:

- It's not true grocery prices "are down"; Trump told this lie even after O’Donnell told him they're up
- It's not true there is now "no inflation" (it’s at 3%) or that it's "less than 2%" (it's at 3%)
- It's not true it was "my idea, which nobody, frankly, had thought of," to have AI facilities generate their own power on-site (they were already starting to do that while he was out of office, with Biden administration encouragement)
- It's not true “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now" (this fictional figure is nearly double the White House's own wildly inflated "announcements" figure)
- It's not true each alleged drug boat "kills 25,000 Americans" (this figure plainly makes no sense given US overdose death totals)
- It's not true some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act "28 times" (Ulysses S. Grant has the record because he invoked it on six occasions)
- It's not true Trump has ended "eight wars" (among other issues, his list includes two situations that weren't wars at all, one war still going full tilt in the DRC, and the Gaza conflict where killing also continues)
- It's not true the Kamala Harris interview Trump sued "60 Minutes" over aired "two days" before the election (it was more than four full weeks before Election Day)
- It's not true Biden gave Ukraine "$350 billion" (inspector general says the US had disbursed $94 billion through June 2025 and appropriated $93 billion more, including funds spent in the US)
- It's not true foreign countries pay his tariffs (US importers make the payments and often pass on costs to consumers)
- It's not true Trump inherited the worst inflation of all time (it was 3% the month he took office, same as now, and even the 9.1% Biden-era peak in 2022 was not close to the all-time record)
- It's not true the 2020 election was "rigged and stolen" (his usual lie) 
- It's not true the Presidential Records Act says he was allowed to have classified documents at his home post-presidency (it says all presidential records are to be in government custody the moment a president leaves office)
- It's not true Trump never instructed the Justice Department to go after Comey and James (he explicitly pressured the head of the department to do so in a social media post we all saw)
- It's not true Democrats are trying to give $1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants in the shutdown battle (even the White House's own disputed figure is a small fraction of that) or that Biden let in 25 million migrants (it's well under half that even if you count millions who were rapidly expelled)
- It's not true foreign leaders have emptied their prisons to somehow insert criminals into the US as migrants (Trump's own team has never been able to corroborate this story experts say is baseless)
- It's not true Nancy Pelosi flipped out after finding out his controversial 2019 call with Zelensky “was taped” (there remains no known US tape; what Trump released was a rough transcript, which bolstered rather than undermined Pelosi’s move toward impeachment)

Unfortunately, Republican Leadership denied my ability to vote remotely after giving birth to my son, Sam, but that’s not stopping us from showing up to vote NO on this disastrous budget proposal.

They want to rip away health care from 400,000 CO kids, take food off the plates of seniors & veterans, and make life more expensive for hardworking Coloradans – all so they can give tax breaks to corporations and billionaires like Elon Musk.

Imagine for a moment what it would be like to have all the money in the world. Being able to buy anything you want, eat what you want, spend your time how you'd like, travel wherever you'd like to go, and live anywhere on earth. Think of what it must be like to spend millions of dollars a day and not even think about it. Money you'll never spend and that can't be taken with you when you dìe.

Now consider how many ways in which the world's richest man could make people's lives better. Instead of buying another yacht, mansion, or rocket, he could build housing for families, hospitals for the sick, or nursing homes for the elderly. He wouldn't even feel it. If he really cared in the slightest and made the smallest amount of effort, he could do amazing things in this country.

But instead, he spends his weekend figuring out ways to mock the world's most vulnerable people while deciding whether or not they deserve food and healthcare.

This is no longer about left vs. right, Democrats vs. Republicans or liberals vs. conservatives. This is the ultra rich vs. everyone else, cruel vs. humane, and good vs. evil. This isn't funny and it isn't ok. The world deserves better ❤🤍💙

@KamalaHarris We as a country just proved that we don’t deserve you. Thank you so much for giving us hope, and showing us true honest leadership. You are the best of us.

Focusing for a moment on the POLICIES at play.

Voters were asked whether they supported 100 different policies, but weren't told whether the policy was from Trump or Harris.

Nearly all of Harris' policies got majority support from the public, and... 🧵

"This election is a choice between law and criminality." Great summary from a centrist law professor and legal commentator.
