Fun trivia.

The people who wrote our Constitution weren't sure whether they were going to include a procedure for impeaching the President. Benjamin Franklin made the final argument to convince them.

Want to know how he changed their minds?

Chapter 47: The defining story of the 2024 election is the defining story of American history: White voters have consistently chosen white supremacy over democracy.

[James Medlock @jdcmedlock]

Dems need to build a bigger tent with white people the way the GOP did with latinos. A few lessons from their approach:
• call white areas trash
• say they’re importing white voters to end democracy
• run in an anti-incumbent environment where everyone is mad about inflation

RFK was a miserable crank idiot yesterday, and still is today. Elon Musk is a deeply unfunny overgrown 4chan racist yesterday, and still is today. Elections determine who is in office not the quality of their ideas or character

[. @MustBeCharm]

This shit wild, cause they gave Trump credit for Obama’s economy then blamed Biden for Trump bad economy & ultimately won because of it

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

This will happen

[John Sides @johnmsides]

I cannot say this enough:

- Early exits are not suitable for demographic analysis or comparisons.

- AP/Votecast is still preliminary -- should be adjusted for final vote counts.

- We don't have Catalist. Or Pew validated voters.

It's just too early to have confident takes!

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

NO. Because people were never reacting to inflation, or food prices, or housing costs, or any of it! It's all just a memelike social phenomenon, and now it'll switch to "I can afford food again" and everyone will believe it.

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.

And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.

When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.

What then?

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?

You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.

You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.

You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.

You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.

You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.

You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.

You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.

You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.

You just made women less safe and less free.

You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.

You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!

You just ushered in Fascism.

Because your cereal costs more.

Congratulations.

#CovidIsNotOver This is my 15th semester teaching RN and NP students about Covid 19 pathophysiology. Not a lot has changed except for how much damage we now know the virus causes. It still baffles me that people don’t know it’s airborne, don’t know the risks. 1

Hey u guys know Trump put tariffs on Chinese goods as president & in response China put tariffs on American goods in retaliation. Chinese buyers started getting soybeans from Brazil & US soybean prices dropped 20%.

His policies have been a lasting nightmare for Iowa farmers

“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of is.”

This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.

[Stuart Stevens @stuartpstevens]

Republicans, what you forgot about Faustian bargains with Mephistopheles is that not only he takes your soul, he doesn’t deliver.

Donald Trump won one race with 46.1% and you folded on every value you claimed to believe.

You deserve this.
