Tonight I heard a failed and desperate president who as war spirals and prices rise is as always focused on his grievances, his shame, and above all his fear of the accountability that will come with defeat.
I also heard a president signaling his unmistakable intent to attack these elections and our voting rights, just as he tried to throw out our votes and seize the presidency in 2020.
Our answer will be overwhelming.
Across Georgia a wave of defiance is building to rebuke him so decisively that no president ever again dares such brazen corruption and abuse.
The power of the presidency is nothing compared to the power of the people.
@John_F_kJr What piece of 💩 is pretending to be John F Kennedy Junior who has been dead for years and the opposite of this 💩 bag account. Of course it’s a MAGAT because they are liars and cheaters.
Epstein survivor: I'm asking the United States Senate to oppose the nomination of Todd Blanche as Attorney General. We are deeply frustrated. I feel that frustration boiling over personally as I consider the fact that Todd Blanche chose to hold private high level meetings with associates of Ghislaine Maxwell, quietly and behind closed doors. That is not how justice should be handled. To us that feels like a personal insult.
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
If it turns out Mitch McConnell was dead, in a coma, brain-dead or otherwise incommunicado on the day an analyst for CNN, Scott Jennings, claimed on national TV that McConnell was making calls and discussing issues of the day with colleagues, CNN must fire Jennings *immediately*.
“DERBY — A Superior Court judge has ordered Gene J. DiGiovanni Jr., chairman of the Derby Republican Party and a convicted Jan. 6 rioter, to pay more than $744,000 for physically assaulting a former employee six years ago.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) statement defending his constituent David Hearn, who is charged with damaging Reflecting Pool... (It ain't subtle)
"Davey Hearn would never desecrate a federal building or landmark by writing his name on it or affixing his name illegally to it or engaging in any other kind of political graffiti, vandalism or delinquency. He would never intentionally damage government property. Whether we are talking about the White House, the Reflecting Pool or the Kennedy Center, Davey would never try to alter, bulldoze or redesign federal property or buildings without explicit Congressional authorization and direction. Davey is an honorable and law-abiding citizen who has won real giant prizes, including eight world championships. He did so without any corrupt practices and only through his magnificent hard work and surpassing dedication to the team. He would never try to undercut or sabotage anyone, much less our entire community"
When you see people cheering for this remember that Trump and his allied criminal network paid someone to create those accounts and try to convince you they should be allowed to kill you and your neighbours. It’s not just propaganda but their way of normalizing their crimes.
