Once again, Donald Trump is a liar.
He's the guy who redirected relief funds as president. We are moving heaven and earth to make sure that everyone affected by Hurricane Helene gets what they need.
Given the scale of tragedy and suffering #HurricaneHelene has brought to FL, GA, NC, TN it is astounding that @POTUS#Biden has to beg the #Republican House to do its job.
"I write to you regarding the needs of the Nation."
Following reporting that he's going to "extreme lengths" to dodge press, this morning Tim Sheehy skipped the MSU Homecoming Parade in Bozeman. He couldn't even be bothered to show up to his own float.
Guess who did show up? @jontester. #mtsen#mtpol
Sure, the internet is going to lay an egg inside our brains and SPOILER ALERT: It don't look good… But meanwhile, this is pretty fascinating: San Francisco's Mission District is now under 24/7 musical surveillance https://t.co/Rknk1e9I6o
North Carolina officials are begging MAGA to stop with their lies because it is crippling rescue operations.
MAGA doubles down.
Springfield, Ohio officials begged MAGA to stop with their lies because it was hurting the city.
MAGA doubled down.
MAGA knows they are hurting people and don't care.
He doesn’t want people to listen to one and another. He wants people to do what he tells them to.
And the Constitution wasn’t a fucking miracle for the people it enslaved.
Every politician I've ever covered will lie if put into a difficult situation. So will pretty much every human being, for that matter.
But I never envisioned or even imagined a political party so utterly dependent on lies, so devoted to the total repudiation of reality. Stunning.
Reporting from Bakersville,Mitchell county we @wckitchen landed to provide meals to @Bakersville to the city and @NationalGuard doing amazing work, and even under the circumstances and damage that their city and county had...they have water, food, medicines @fema support...etc...a community coming together. This is what I see all over...Let' do this!
Long gone are the innocent days when media outlets claimed the independence and nuance of the politics of Elon Musk.
Now, amid myriad X posts spreading far-right propaganda, it's obvious where one of the richest men in the world stands.https://t.co/n9nFWnr6x0
This Spanish city centre has been car-free for 20+years. 12k people have moved into the centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @WEF
Everyone in America has a perfect right to criticize the government. That’s not what we are talking about. We are talking about giving people bad info when their houses and possibly family members are gone. Do not pretend that you can’t tell the difference. Just be decent or get out of public life.
😳 @Thom_Hartmann lays out why red states especially ones with Republican supermajorities (like ours 👋🏽) are poorer, sicker, less educated— while we depend more on the federal government.
Not an accident. Policy choices.

There is literally only one Bible sold in America that meets this criteria & that is Trump’s Bible. So Ryan Walters is trying to send millions in tax dollars intended for school kids into Trump’s pocket. MAGA is an organized crime syndicate where they all kick up to the boss.
On January 6, Donald Trump incited an attack on our nation’s democracy because he didn’t like the outcome of the election. Armed with weapons and animated by Trump’s lies, insurrectionists invaded the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn a lawful election.
The January 6 Committee exemplified a bipartisan effort to safeguard our democracy and preserve our most sacred freedoms for generations to come—led by Republicans like @Liz_Cheney and @AdamKinzinger, who chose to put country over party—alongside Democrats.
The oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States is sacred and must always be upheld—never violated. The most fundamental question in this election is: Who will obey that oath?
I have sworn that oath to uphold the Constitution six times throughout my career—not only as Vice President or as a U.S. Senator, but also as the top law enforcement officer of the largest state in our country. I have never wavered in upholding that oath, and I have always executed it faithfully and without reservation.
Therein lies the profound difference between Donald Trump and me.
Anyone who, like Donald Trump, violates that oath—who recklessly tramples on our democratic values, who actively tries to overturn the will of the American people, or who has called for the “termination” of the Constitution—must never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States.
The vast majority of us agree that upholding the Constitution must be a basic requirement we expect of anyone seeking the highest office in the land. Regardless of our political party, we believe that we must hold sacred America’s fundamental principles—from the rule of law to the peaceful transfer of power.
If you stand for country, democracy, and the rule of law—our campaign has a place for you.
If the Paper of Record had any interest in self-reflection they should see how many people (including me!) tweeting out some version of this. I have that 10/29/16 front page saved as a reminder, every day, of their role in helping Trump win. Why the fuck are they doing it again?
County Clerk and election denier Tina Peters allowed MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to use her security card to breach Dominion voting machines in the 2020 election.
The judge just sentenced her to 9 years in prison after dragging her for FILTH.
“You are one of the most privileged people to ever sit in that chair. You are a charlatan and you’re going to prison.”
While Donald Trump makes up total lies about the Biden-Harris admin’s emergency response, I think it’s important to say that I have never seen a President—Republican or Democrat—delay disaster assistance in an emergency, EXCEPT Donald Trump.
Wildfires in Malden and Whitman County devastated the region—destroying or seriously damaging 80% of its structures. And Trump refused to EVER help those families & communities. There was no major disaster declaration until Joe Biden was in office.
