The U.S. Supreme Court left a discriminatory Jim Crow-era Mississippi law in place. The policy, originally enacted in 1890 with the express purpose of denying Black men the right to vote, currently disenfranchises tens of thousands of Mississippians. https://t.co/iLZQoxJIde

As clear as it gets….Justice Elena Kagan writes dissent in student loan case: “From the first page to the last, today’s opinion departs from the demands of judicial restraint. At the behest of a party that has suffered no injury, the majority decides a contested public policy issue properly belonging to the politically accountable branches and the people they represent.”
The same day I announced I was running against Lauren Boebert, the smear campaign began.
In 2022, I lost to Boebert by 546 votes. It was the closest race in the country.
I need your help so we don’t get drowned out by lies. Will you give now to help me defeat Lauren Boebert?
It’s not only that the Republicans were wrong about Ukraine and Russia, but just how breathtakingly wrong they have been in the face of undeniable evidence.
They bought and then sold Kremlin propaganda hook, line, and sinker.
They fought against American and western interests, eschewed the analysis of our military experts and rooted for Ukraine’s downfall.
Meanwhile, President Biden formed an international pro-democracy coalition and never wavered in his support of Ukraine. And for pennies on the dollar, he has weakened one of our greatest foreign adversaries, perhaps beyond repair, without putting at risk the life of a single American.
It’s been an absolutely historic stroke of strategic brilliance.
And while Republicans try to weaponize Kremlin propaganda to attack Biden as a war monger, they neglect the fact that he is overseeing a extraordinary time of peace for the United States. He dared to do what no other president before him was willing to do and brought our troops home from Afghanistan.
Republicans also used Kremlin propaganda to accuse Biden of neglecting our needs at home, while he gave aid to Ukraine. Meanwhile, the GOP voted against Biden’s historic investments in the US. Transformational change is underway with the passage of the CHIPs Act, the Infrastructure Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. Experts are calling this “manufacturing investment supercycle” the envy of the world.
Biden protected our veterans’ healthcare with the PACT Act as Republicans fist-bumped after voting against it.
Biden fought and continues to fight for women’s bodily autonomy, while the GOP celebrates stripping it away one year ago.
And Biden delivered for unions workers, aiding them in negotiations as he kept the supply chain open and the American economy thriving, delivering six times more jobs than the previous three Republican presidents combined.
All this, and Republicans still want to reject reality. They want to use Kremlin-style disinformation techniques and launch politically-motivated investigations into their perceived enemies. They have no interest in helping the American people. They just want to live another day on their cult leader Donald Trump’s good side. They strive to dismantle American democracy and take away the rights and freedoms of everyday Americans.
This contrast in leadership could not be greater. History will judge where you stood at this moment.
We stand with the United States. We stand with democracy. We stand with reality. We stand with the free world.
Prigozhin is wanted by the FBI here in the states for helping trump get elected in 2016. Mueller indicted him. The republicans wish you didn’t know that. They want you to believe Russian collusion is a hoax.
I and my team are following events in Russia and Ukraine closely. Here’s what I can share right now.
1/ Putin’s weakness has been exposed. He could survive, but power in Russia will be forever scrambled after this weekend.
From Tennessee to Montana, the expulsion and silencing of elected state legislators for their political expression escalates the MAGA attack on representative democracy and political freedom.
The pro-Bill of Rights majority of Americans stands tall with Rep. Zephyr.
FIRST: I led the impeachment against Trump.
THEN: Kevin McCarthy removed me from the House Intel Committee.
NOW: I’m running for Senate to represent millions of Californians (including McCarthy).
Will you donate now to help me become his Senator?
NEW: A Nashville Walgreens employee pulled out a pistol and shot a pregnant woman he says he thought was shoplifting. Doctors performed an emergency c-section; both the woman and her baby are in critical condition. The employee is claiming self-defense.

Meet 2022 REPUBLICAN candidate Joel M. Koskan of North Dakota.
He was just sentenced to 10 YEARS in prison after he plead guilty to 2 counts of Felony Incest with his then 13-year-old stepdaughter.
Koskan was NOT a Drag Queen
Koskan was not transgender
Koskan was not a 'Democrat Groomer'
Koskan was not a Biden supporter
Koskan is simply a straight, white, Republican who is a disgusting pedophile.
Reproductive rights are under attack nationwide. I’m in Albany with @GillibrandNY, @NewYorkStateAG, @AndreaSCousins & leaders from across the state to make clear: abortion access will always be protected in New York.

Holy shit. The convicted murderer who Greg Abbott (R) said he is moving to pardon for shooting a Black Lives Matter protestor just had his private texts released— they show him calling Black people “monkeys,” “animals,” and saying he wants to hunt them. https://t.co/1qecCzn04E
"The Memphis Police Department is introducing a unit that will arrest unaccompanied minors that sell food, play loud music, are inappropriately dressed or dancing in the street.”
This is a recipe for more incarcerations and police killings of Black teens. https://t.co/DtqOfB97mu
Today @WilliamLamberth, a Tennessee state representative, asked students protesting gun violence which gun they’d like him to use when shooting them: “If there’s a firearm out there you’re comfortable being shot with, please show me which one it is.”
