Do not normalize him. He lies as he breathes. He’s the only president in American history who lost an election and refused to concede. He tried to overthrow an American election. I don’t care about his debate strategy. I don’t care about his VP pick.

Do not normalize him.

Fun Fact: every single state that voted for Donald Trump received more $$ from the federal government than its taxpayers contributed. That’s right. Every red state is a federal “welfare” state requiring the generosity and largesse of blue state taxpayers.

My history may be a little foggy on this, but didn’t the people who founded this country come here to escape a place where religious zealots were in control of everything?

The DOT regulated junk fees. Airlines are suing.

The CFPB capped credit card fees. Banks are suing.

Medicare is negotiating drug prices. Pharma is suing.

The FTC banned noncompetes. Business groups are suing.

Corporate America can't stand government working for the people.

Sotomayor calls out *every* *single* *one* *of* *her* *Republican* *colleagues* for abandoning their textualist "principle"

In just the last few days, Senate Republicans have KILLED:

- protection for IVF
- protection for contraceptives
- an ethics code for the Supreme Court

Ye shall know them by their fruits.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

40 out of 44 former members of Trump's cabinet, including his own VP, refused to endorse Donald Trump.

Let that sink in.

Garland could have fired Weiss. POTUS could have pardoned Hunter. Left wingers could have doxxed the jury. Hunter could have attacked the judge and her family every day on the courthouse steps.

None of that happened.

50 billionaire families have already poured $600M+ into this year's elections — mostly in support of Trump.

That's only 0.6% of their total wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in dark money.

[Tom Bonier @tbonier]

I thought I'd feel happy to see Trump finally face justice, but I don't. I just feel anger at the Republicans who enabled him, and the media who normalized Trump, despite all of us knowing all along that this is who he is and who he has always been.

[Russell Moore @drmoore]

The question is what it has always been- fit or unfit. And the answer was obvious all along. Character matters, still.

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas have succeeded in trashing the last shreds of respect and credibility of the US Supreme Court. The thought that either of these individuals are able to rule on presidential immunity or anything concerning the J6 insurrection is appalling.

[Jennifer Schulze @NewsJennifer]

Pro-tip: the biggest story in the country today should be that a US Supreme Court justice flew an upside down "stop the steal," pro-trump American flag outside his home within days of Jan6th...AND while the court was debating 2020 election cases.

The Biden Admin's rule limiting credit card late fees was set to begin tomorrow.

But a Trump-appointed judge blocked it at the request of the Chamber of Commerce — costing U.S. families an estimated $27 million a day.

MAGA and corporate interests want to keep ripping you off.

I find it weird that newspapers characterize students as being “pro-Palestinian” as opposed to anti whatever you call this.

Senator Sanders: “When we talk about college campuses, I want everybody to know there are no protests on college campuses in Gaza. You know why? Because every one of the 12 universities in Gaza has been bombed and destroyed.”
