Obama: When I was president, I had been talking to scientists for a while so during my last year in office, we put together a pandemic playbook for how to deal with the eventuality of a pandemic.. When Trump came in, we gave over this playbook and he threw it out. I want to be fair on this, no matter who was going to president, this was going to be a problem… But if you look at a country like Canada, their per capita death rate was 40% lower than here. So just do the math. That’s more than 400k people. People’s grandparents, people’s fathers, people’s moms who would’ve been alive if Trump had just paid attention and tried to follow the plan that we gave him. It might have been somebody in your family that could’ve been impacted. So, if somebody tells you that this doesn’t make a difference, having somebody competent who cares about you.. it does matter and at some point, it will make a difference to them

Isn't it ironic that Republicans are now applauding JD Vance for his mother's battle with addiction while they have spent six years belittling Hunter Biden for his struggles with the same issue.

With about 60% of the vote in, Haley had about 20% of the GOP primary vote in the crucial national battleground of Bucks County, PA. https://t.co/yeoUh6sUGK

So far this week...

The FTC banned the use of noncompete clauses.

The DOL strengthened overtime rules.

The FCC restored #NetNeutrality.

The DOT expanded protections for airline passengers.

This is what it looks like when the government works on behalf of the people.

Can you imagine if a state prohibited doctors from treating your heart attack until just moments before you have a cardiac arrest? No? Well that’s what Idaho’s abortion law does to women experiencing a severe complication during pregnancy.

Don’t inject bleach.

And don’t vote for the guy who told you to inject bleach.

Are you better off than you were four years ago?

To all MAGAT's using Laken Riley, where were you when my daughter was killed by a teenage American male? Where were you when Trump lied about the Parkland murder? You don't give two f-cks about Laken or her parents, just as you don't about victims of gun violence by Americans.

We could have had her as president. She should have been president. Listen to this entire thing.

'Crime family!' Ivanka Trump jeered on arrival at NYC courtroom.

People yell “fraud family!” at Ivanka Trump as she enters the courthouse.

You do remember my post a few days ago about there being at least 1,000 active Russian spies in the United States, yes?

In September of this year, FBI Director Christopher Wray told an audience at the Spy Museum in Washington, D.C:

“The Russian traditional counter-intelligence threat continues to loom large. The Russian intelligence footprint-and by that I mean intelligence officers-is still way too big in the United States and something we are constantly bumping up against…”

When you see these silly ass polls showing “Trump leading Biden” considerably….I want you to immediately think “Russian influence.”

Don’t you think…even for a minute…that Putin’s sophisticated networks of people who are dedicated to influencing the 2024 election…don’t have the people in place, or the means to shape the polls you are seeing. Do not.

To think that isn’t possible…or even likely, would be an exercise in gullibility, ignorance, or lack of imagination.

Most of the things you’re going to see about the election over the next 12 months….that scare you the most…have a very high likelihood of being the result of Russian influence.

Watch the peripheral events even closer.

While the war with Israel-Hamas might not seem like “election interference,” I would argue it is some of the most potentially potent election interference there is.

How? It induces fear and anger about the very kinds of issues that studies have shown to trigger people turn to domineering, power house candidates in an election year.

In short, rather than try to shape the man to what they know you want, they seek to shape the world events…that shape you….so that you’ll want…. the man.

The most important thing, every day, is to remind yourself, “Russia seeks to scare me, anger me and motivate me…and have me think it’s being caused by ANYTHING other than Russia.”

Look at EVERYTHING that scares you, angers you or motivates you in directions that are different than usual…and ask yourself, “Who benefits most from me being scared of this, mad at that, or motivated to do this?”

If how you’re feeling isn’t driving you harder towards voting BLUE, the answer is almost certainly “Russia/MAGA.”

It’s safe to say that the world’s largest covert election interference in history….is happening right now. We’re all part of it.

We have to keep our shit together and our head on a swivel.

I’m going to be helping you do that.

Kentucky just reelected their pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ Democratic governor and Ohio enshrined a right to abortion in their state constitution. Here's why that's bad for Joe Biden...

Let ‘em know that the KY Governors Race has predicted the Presidential election in the previous 5 cycles.

Nearly four million seniors and others on Medicare started to have their insulin costs capped at $35 per month this past January – saving some seniors hundreds of dollars for a month’s supply.

And it’s because of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

By the way, every single Republican in Congress voted against the law that made this possible.
