Dear MAGA, friends & family.

RFK Jr. wants to immediately stop the development of new drugs for cancer, Alzheimers & other illnesses for eight years.

Hope your family stays healthy.

Is this what you signed up for when you voted?

This is AWESOME: These young folks are dropping pro-Kamala Harris messages in Home Depot.

Classic: "Your dad won't know you voted for Harris." 😂

You can’t make this up. 😂

These Epstein Grand Jury files were released the day before MAGAs staged Trump’s attempted assassination.

The files reveal unequivocally that Donald John Trump is a pedophile who rapes little girls & boys.

Donald Trump belongs in jail. Who else agrees?🤚 https://t.co/Z8vq55Gs1l

I’m an ardent school choice supporter.
I’m an ardent supporter of free speech.
I’m an ardent supporter of tax cuts & limited government.
I’m an ardent supporter of free markets & free trade.

This year, I’m an ardent supporter of @KamalaHarris. Why?

Because I’m an ardent supporter of democracy & the rule of law. And without democracy & the rule of law, none of the other stuff matters.

Trump’s Project 2025 plan includes ending the Department of
Education.

Yes, ending it.

There have been 0 front page stories about it.

My son is one of millions of disabled kids that will lose access to education when the Dept of Education is destroyed.

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

This is from the Epstein Grand Jury court documents which were recently released. They have been sealed for 16 years. This is just one page out of 176 pages. Trump is a rapist and pedophile. The media is not talking about this. 😡

[Shawn Harris for Congress @ShawnForGeorgia]

WHY ISN'T THIS A BIGGER STORY?

Yesterday, Marjorie Taylor Greene proudly bragged that she was the one who organized to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power on Jan. 6, 2021.

This isn't a Democratic or Republican issue. It's assaulting our democracy in broad daylight.

As the shortest kid in school, I was an easy target for bullies. When I was about eight, I befriended a kind teenager who looked out for me. 60 years ago this week, he was murdered by the Klan for registering Black voters in Mississippi. Let me tell you about my friend, Mickey.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Why are Americans so misinformed about our economy? Are we stupid, are we being mislead, or what is the cause?

56% of Americans incorrectly think were are in a recession, according to a Harris Poll conducted for the @guardian.

49% incorrectly think the stock market is down this year.

49% incorrectly believe that unemployment is at a 50-year high, when it's actually been at a 50-year low.

BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez obliterates the Republicans' hack witness during a hearing for the sham Biden impeachment inquiry.

This is one for the books...

"I have a quick question. Simple. Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?" AOC asked Tony Bobulinski, a former associate of Hunter Biden who has been doing MAGA's bidding.

"I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together a business deal..." began Bobulinski.

"Did you witness the president commit a crime? Is it your testimony?" interjected AOC.

"Yes," said Bobulinski.

"And what crime have you witnessed?" asked AOC.

"How much time do I have to go through it?" he responded, evading the question.

"It is simple: you name the crime," she responded. "Did you watch him steal something?"

"Corruption statutes, RICO conspiracy, FARA..." he rambled, without offering any details.

"What is the crime sir? Specifically!" she said.

"You asked me to answer the question, I answered the question," whined Bobulinski, who had not answered the question. "RICO, you're obviously not familiar with, corruption statutes..."

"Excuse me sir! Excuse me sir. Excuse me sir," said AOC. "RICO is not a crime, it is a category. What is the crime?"

Bobulinski then whined, rambled, and dissembled without providing a specific crime. As usual, Republicans want to rely on vague assertions to do their dirty PR work. AOC reclaimed her time and then tore into the entire inquiry.

"Clearly, what we are seeing here today is a continuation of the fifteen month saga of the Republican majority lost in the desert," said AOC. "Impeachment 101, the majority party or whomever is raising impeachment must accuse the president of a high crime, a specific high crime or misdemeanor."

During another stretch of the hearing, AOC voiced the same issue—

"At this point, the story isn’t the fact that the basis of this impeachment inquiry is wrong. The story is, ‘Why it is proceeding anyway?’" she asked, pointing out that there are "no charges" on the table.

"I have yet to hear in the chairman’s opening the allegation that they are specifically charging the president of the United States with," she went on. "I am hearing about the ‘Biden family.’ I am hearing about this and that. I am not hearing the specific allegation by this committee. What is it? It is not here. And that is the problem."

“The story is when this committee knew they were working with falsified evidence? That is the story," she added.

Well said congresswoman! This impeachment inquiry is an utter disgrace and a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. All that it proves is that Republicans have nothing to hit President Biden on. The sooner it concludes, the better.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that AOC nailed it — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

[The Proud Blue Texan 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 @ProgressiveTex]

I live in South Texas. I have watched our border for years. The one thing that really pisses me off is when some MAGA cult member who has been drinking from the right-wing propaganda hose for years tries to tell me what I have experienced, what I have lived. Here’s the reality…

Under Obama/Biden the border was its most peaceful in 20+ years. When Trump took office everything blew up, caravans, disgusting detention centers in shopping centers, horrific child separations. A paper quagmire that the Biden administration is still sorting out. Nobody working for Trump was serious or had a plan. They just escalated cruelty and didn’t do any of the paperwork. Like everything Trump did it was inept, incompetent, more harm than good.

Trump’s entire administration was a series of incompetent missteps. Covid, body bags, billions in misplaced or stolen stimulus, 8 Trillion added to the deficit, stock market crash, rising inflation, security breaches, loss of classified documents, fake electors scheme, the ridiculous, violent, seditious insurrection at the capitol. All of the above while his corpulent ass golfed over 365 days out of four years.

Don’t come on my timeline trying to impose your artificial reality that Obama (Black man bad!!!) caused the border crisis and the fantasy that the border was secure under Trump. There’s a difference between what Trump says and what he does. He has always been all talk and no action.

Right wingers today are manipulating the gullible, using footage that was taken months ago and screaming “invasion!”. It’s important to remember that Republicans want it to be crazy, they need it to be crazy. That’s why they blocked the most significant border reform legislation in decades. They can’t complain about Joe Biden if we fix the problem. I for one am tired of our border culture being used as a political piñata by hacks that don’t understand it.

The border can not be closed. If it is closed it has a negative impact on US GDP of $2 Billion a day. Families live on both sides of the border. People cross the border everyday, each way, to go to work, school, volunteer.

Right wing ignorance supposes that the Mexico side of the border is a no-man’s land. It’s not, our border cities are half in the US and half in Mexico, divided only by a checkpoint. They are communities. Unfamiliar to some, but a way of life for us. Non-nuanced black and white thinking is why Republicans keep losing elections. Ignorance about the border, ignorance about women’s health, ignorance about the fascist threat that they are so hellbent on putting back in the White House so he can do more damage to our economy, security and standing in the world.

Do me a favor. Understand that reality is nothing like the Russia-fueled disinformation that is constantly spewed by Fox, Newsmax, OAN and all of the fear monger podcasts. It’s all nonsense. Life here isn’t perfect but it isn’t a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie either. Life in South Texas is peaceful and pleasant and nothing like the hellhole depicted on Right-Wing Propaganda outlets. Neither is the rest of America.

Don’t be like this guy below, a “Christian” that has the nerve to call me a liar, when his entire worldview is built on a steady diet of lies and fear from the media puppet masters that control him. If you want to comment on the border, come see it with your own eyes. When the drunken MAGA “take back our border” people came down here they couldn’t find any migrants to threaten. So after making a mess in our yards and our streets, they left. And we cleaned up after them. Migrants aren’t as messy.

If you want to make a difference, call your Congressperson and tell them to support the bipartisan border security legislation. Get these National Guard members back to duty and out of our streets, hotels and coffee shops… end the congestion caused by Greg Abbott’s desperate audition for VP.

Quit spreading the Republican lie that the border is in crisis.

Given that Brett Kavanaugh is about to rule on whether Donald Trump is eligible to be on the 2024 ballot, now would be a very good time for him to tell us who it was that paid off his $200,000 credit card debt, $92,000 in country club fees, and $1.2 million mortgage.

[Eric Idle @EricIdle]

All dictators wish to bring the world down so no one survives them.

[Smindi @SmindCrypto]

So @JoeBiden forgot once/ few times.

👉Trump lied 30,573 times in just 4 years- report: WP. Do your math and find out how many times on average did Trump tell lies in a day. That is about 20 times a day- almost 1 lie per hour.
👉Trump said he could not remember 35 times during Muller investigation and 1 time during E. Jean Carrol rape case- when he was found guilty by a jury.

Would rather elect a decent president who admits forgetting a few times or a liar who can't stop telling lies?
