These two headlines are 5 days apart

•Alabama rejects school lunches for hungry children
•Alabama rules embryos are children

Alabama: Where a 16 cell grain of sand has more protections than an actual born and living child.😐

So if Biden said it, it’s proof of mental decline, but if Trump said it, he misspoke?

God, I hate these people.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Oh my God. Joe Rogan tried to say Biden is unqualified by claiming he said something that TRUMP said.

He got fact checked in real time. This is amazing.

Damn….. I was 18 years old and fresh out of high school when I recorded this album.

A pregnant Texas corrections officer had contraction-like pains while she was on the job.

She asked to leave, her Supervisor said that she could not.

By the time she was allowed to leave it was too late.

She subsequently delivered a stillborn baby.

Radical Republicans spend their days and nights saying that life begins at fertilization.

The woman is suing; Texas’ defense is that the fetus didn't have rights.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

🚨Gotta tell you, when Joe Biden comes to your district to highlight the millions in infrastructure Democrats have brought to your district and to highlight the fact that your GOP opponent voted no, you should be there with him.

Unless you’re in deep red KY or another red state, you should be begging for a Biden visit.

The advice to stay away, advice taken by swing races candidates to our detriment in 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2020 is bad advice.

You are tied to Joe Biden via your party label, which every voter will see on the ballot, ultimately, no matter how you try to minimize it in your messaging.

You cannot run from it.

You cannot hide from it.

The only thing you can do is make it more popular.

Avoidance is the opposite of that strategy.

This was in a hearing about overtime pay — a hearing literally about people working more than 40 hours a week.

“If it were not for the accident of my birth, I would be antisemitic. Any people who has been persecuted for two thousand years must be doing something wrong.”

— Henry Kissinger

“Mr. Kissinger is heard telling Nixon in 1973 that helping Soviet Jews emigrate and thus escape oppression by a totalitarian regime —— a huge issue at the time — was “not an objective of American foreign policy. And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union,” Kissinger added, “it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.”

[Billy Baldwin @BillyBaldwin]

This whole Biden thing’s been a real rollercoaster ride: 🎢

Stock market up.
Inflation down.

Job growth up.
Unemployment down.

Wages up.
Gas prices down.

401K up.
Crime down.

GDP up.
Prescription drugs costs down.

Manufacturing jobs up.
College loan debt down.

Union strength up.
Racism, misogyny, intolerance down.

Infrastructure investment up.
Impeachments & indictments down.

Democracy up.
Fascism down.

Hostages released.
Ceasefire extended.

Not sure how much more of this I can take!!

Thanks Joe. 🇺🇸

My vote for reminder of the day.

[I Smoked Lindsey Graham @BlackKnight10k]

Biden: made Hamas release civilian hostages

Trump: made Afghanistan release 5k taliban soldiers

Vote for Joe Biden.

[I Smoked Lindsey Graham @BlackKnight10k]

Sure. Here's a photo of Trump's Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo in 2020, reaching an agreement to release 5k Taliban soldiers and quietly surrender Afghanistan to the Taliban once American forces are withdrawn.

[I Smoked Lindsey Graham @BlackKnight10k]

Man, all those people ready to impeach Biden for not calling for an unconditional ceasefire got real fukcing quiet today after he not only got your ceasefire, but he got the hostages back too.

Y'all ok? Or did you just die from shame.

[Justin LaLiberty @jlalibs]

evergreen reminder for today and all days

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

You know what though, Fox got some badass ratings during the 4-hour window where they said a disgruntled KISS fan from western NY was an Islamic jihadist, so mission accomplished.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

He ... literally just helped negotiate a cease fire.
