Holy shit. Fox News just acknowledged on air: “Regulations regarding train safety were changed under Trump. This particular railroad & others lobbied Trump to dismantle an Obama-era rule that would have required railroads to update their braking systems.”

Republicans see opioids as the biggest threat to Americans' public health. Democrats say it's guns, according to Axios-Ipsos. Democrats are nearly nine times as likely as Republicans to say access to guns is the nation's biggest public health threat.

Guns are the leading cause of death among kids and teens in the US.

Every. Single. Day, someone in the Missouri GOP thinks they'll own @piper4missouri

And,
Every. Single. Day,
she wipes her 100-year-old farmhouse floor with their tears and fundraises off their incompetence 🙌🏽

@piper4missouri Will bishops in Missouri call for a holy communion ban for all Catholic politicians supporting the death penalty? @archstl

Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed?

Ohio has a GOP Gov, GOP Senate, GOP House

Norfolk Southern train derailed in a GOP county

CEO is a huge GOP & Trump donor

GOP Gov set toxins on fire

GOP Gov didn’t call Biden back for days and delayed declaring a disaster & asking for fed help

DON’T YOU DARE pin this on Dems

When my Republican detractors call me “woke” for sharing Native history, it only determines me to provide you every single shred of Indigenous content — that I possibly can.

There is a dearth of democratic voices in rural spaces.

Thus, the GOP sets the narrative.

3 simple ways to make this better:
➡️ Radio
➡️ Op-eds in local newspapers
➡️ Billboards

If we want Democrats to win rural areas, we need to go back to the basics.

Twitter critics are lining up to demand Australian-born right-wing media fascist Rupert Murdoch be stripped of his U.S. citizenship and deported after undermining American democracy with a cascade of revealed Fox News lies about the presidential election.

Let’s review some of the governing principles of America, @mtgreenee:

Our country is governed by the Constitution. You swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution.
Secession is unconstitutional. No member of Congress should advocate secession, Marjorie.

New: Ron DeSantis is now repeating Russian propaganda nearly word-for-word, saying Russia won’t go after NATO countries. https://t.co/7Vv8Xg1Q7g

[Rep. Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman]

Please explain to me, @SpeakerMcCarthy and @RepStefanik, how giving 40,000 hours of sensitive surveillance footage solely to one tv commentator is consistent with “transparency.”

Transparency for thee but not for me.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Let’s be clear. If you call for a “national divorce” you are calling for secession. It’s dangerous, disloyal, and the GOP should censure those who call for it.

[Claire McCaskill @clairecmc]

Shouldn’t a Putin apologist (@TuckerCarlson)and his minion(@SpeakerMcCarthy ) have to explain why public video of J6 goes EXCLUSIVELY to Fox, who was just exposed for gleefully participating in lies and coverups? Let’s go public interest lawyers!!!

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

McCarthy giving 40,000 hrs of Jan. 6 tape to a pro-Putin journalist is an astounding ethical collapse. What security precautions were taken to keep this from becoming a roadmap for 2024 insurrection? Why isn’t it available to all media & public? Smell the MAGA propaganda coming.

When Republicans ban abortion, aren’t they forcing women to “co-parent with government”?

[Mueller, She Wrote @MuellerSheWrote]

DID YOU KNOW: The Florida Republican who wrote the Don’t Say Gay bill has been indicted by Merrick Garland for federal criminal money laundering and wire fraud?

Happy Sunday!

Jimmy Carter shows that it’s the whole of your life that matters, not just what you do in your time of power and fame. He devoted his post-presidency to helping others, defending the rights of oppressed groups despite blowback, and loving his wife. A good man, a good American.
