I truly believe this guy is in, like, the bottom tier of intelligence among human beings. like that's an astronomical idiot talking. I don't even think I *know* anyone who is this stupid. he is living proof that making money does not make you smart or interesting.

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?

AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.

So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.

The trans athlete debate is one of the biggest political distractions of our generation. The NCAA president testified that there are fewer than 10 openly transgender athletes out of 510k NCAA athletes. Yet this small issue dominates headlines.

Tonight, America watched the ramblings of a mad king.

Donald Trump’s address was not about the last election — it was THIS one.

Before a single vote has been cast, he’s already laying the groundwork to rig this election and convince YOU not to trust the results if they don’t go his way.

This is what authoritarians do. Don’t fall for it.

Organize. Mobilize. SHOW UP and VOTE in November!

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe Democrats were capable of stealing the 2020 election while out of power, but somehow incapable of doing the same in 2024 while in power. That is a categorically, phenomenally dumb thing to believe.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."

They're literally criminalizing dissent. Being liberal or leftist will get you labeled a terrorist.

[NKY Lefty @NKY_Leftist]

We do want voter ID though. Go ahead. Issue every citizen a free ID that's easy and free to update/replace and require bringing that to vote. Oh? That's not what you meant? You just want everyone to jump through hoops to vote? Gotcha, stfu then.

Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.

ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

He was a legal, tax paying immigrant — and ICE killed him.

Abolish ICE.

[ꪝe @_wej01]

My UBER driver in Baltimore told me he just got out of an ICE facility, that he spent 8 days in Washington and 51 days in a facility in Arizona. His wife reported him missing, cops had no idea ICE had taken him. He said, “She thought I was dead.” He’s an American citizen. Took them that long to realize it. This is just one guy. There’s thousands...
