@SpeakerJohnson@hakeemjeffries@LeaderJohnThune@SenSchumer Congress could really benefit from some old-fashioned team building. Trust falls. Challenges where Republicans and Democrats are mixed at a table, competing against other Republicans and Democrats. And then the real meat — "let’s sit down and identify what we all agree on - and build." We can't go on like this 🙏
@BarackObama Thank you for responding with diplomacy. Now use your influence to champion ideas over anger, policy over contempt for those who disagree. Inspiring helplessness always leads to violence. This will make a difference.
@FaulknerFocus Today��s @HarfMaria segment was hard to watch; her constant interrupting undermined the Olympics ruling debate. Better vetting would help too: supporting women’s sports fairness isn’t “transphobic” and we’re done with that facile framing. Flipping the script is a red herring. There are Dems who argue in good faith — platform them.
You’re coming across as retribution-focused and, frankly, not very credible. If you want people to take this seriously, name the corporations you’re referring to and provide factual support for the claims. I’m open to understanding your position, but vague accusations—especially after a public falling-out—aren’t persuasive.
First of all, you’re wrong—and I know because I have firsthand experience. I am an election judge in Illinois. In the last election, I personally had to register over 40 people in one day who all claimed they had moved from one county to another. They all presented brand-new Illinois driver’s licenses or state IDs, all issued the same day, all listing the same apartment address. It was obviously coordinated, and there was absolutely nothing I could do to stop it. This was in the suburbs.
Requiring ID alone won’t eliminate this kind of fraud—but it will slow it down, create friction, and make large-scale coordination harder. And the idea that large numbers of lawful citizens are being disenfranchised because they “can’t get ID” is preposterous. If the effort spent tweeting and posturing were redirected toward actually helping the rare edge cases obtain documentation, we could solve that problem entirely. Those same documents are required to work under an I-9, so this isn’t some impossible barrier.
What does disenfranchise people is a system designed for convenience over verification—one that allows coordinated abuse and dilutes the votes of lawful citizens. I’m not okay with that. Hold your party accountable. Help people do better. Stop defending a system that makes cheating easy and honest voters expendable.
Would you feel the same if you found out those 40+ (squeezed into one apartment) voted for Trump? Maybe they did. Either way... it's wrong.
What if, instead of liberals actively fighting to keep our voting system insecure, the focus were on helping people obtain the documents required to participate?
You can’t legally work in this country without documentation—anyone who’s completed an I-9 knows that. Yet there’s fierce resistance to voter ID and very little effort put into making IDs accessible.
The claim that it’s “too hard” for citizens to get documentation is largely baloney. I conducted a full I-9 audit (legal to work in US) for an extremely large multinational company with a significant Hispanic workforce. While a small number of people had real issues, those cases involved individuals who were not here legally. There was not a single case where a lawful citizen was unable to obtain ID.
If disenfranchisement were the real concern, the solution would be helping the rare edge cases—not keeping the system insecure.
You are dangerously obtuse and pushing talking points that perpetuate fraud! Most "grandmas and grandpas" support voter ID (because they grew up with this). Stop creating convenient demographic carve outs to create a smoke screen for fraud. If you would be willing to HELP people who need the help to vote instead of using them I would be right there with you. Go work at the polls like others who genuinely care. You're a liberal pawn.
Are you kidding me? She’s supposedly so traumatized, yet the very first thing she thinks to do is post one of those pathetic “sobbing in my car” videos. It’s not processing anything — it’s performative. Turning on a camera to cry for an audience cheapens real distress. This whole trend will be looked back on about as fondly as the mullet haircut.
@LangmanVince I think Republicans welcome anyone. We don't agree all the time, we embrace diversity of thought and we are bonded through values and principles. I can't imagine being a part of a party that will shame you if you disagree with them.
@GavinNewsom Focus on something important to the people you buffoon! We've got a lot going on as you fight for obstructionism. You are such a politician!
@catturd2 First I cannot tell what gendrr this person wants to be. Crying like an overly emotional woman but dressed like a male hobo. How can we know????? Make it easier!
@GovPritzker How about for the people? As a taxpayer in Illinois I have always counted on you to do the opposite of what is best for our state. Stand down!
