“...I predict that the dividing line...between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.” U.S. Grant.
This is absolutely horrific -- and absolutely what the @GOP wants the rest of America to look like.
Kate, CA has your back. We remain a safe haven from cruel policies like this. Women that are unable to receive reproductive care are welcome in the state of CA.
It's incredible how this always seems to happen, at the same polling places in Mississippi & Alabama, election after election. Almost as though someone wants to make it more difficult & time consuming for Black voters to exercise their rights. Stay in line, folks!
@ShaneGoldmacher@jonathanvswan I really question the methodology of these polls. How many people under 60 answer phone calls from numbers they don’t know?
Wow. A report by Roger Sollenberger from The Daily Beast reveals that the new Speaker, Mike Johnson, claims not to have ANY bank account or assets in his family worth $5,000. His financial disclosures for years have shown nothing. Is he really living paycheck to paycheck, or is he hiding his true net worth? I mean, the guy is in the top 12 percent of income earners. Something doesn’t smell right here.
Carlos Gimenez just voted to make Mike Johnson Speaker of the House.
Gimenez's vote is for a nationwide abortion ban, to overturn free and fair elections, and against everyday Floridians.
It's shameful. Mark my words: We will defeat Gimenez and flip the House blue.
Donalds has only served 1 full term in the House. His most recent work involved submitting falsified evidence in an impeachment investigation.
These people are not serious. 🆘
WARNING: Watching the internal Democratic infighting on Twitter over HAMAS’s mass slaughter & their responsibility for fighting in Gaza is hard to swallow. In ONE YEAR we are all going to be given a litmus test. Not on race or religion but to our own personal loyalty to America as it stood for 248 years. If we each turn into single issue (I didn’t get mine, so fuck you, Dems) voters, it could quickly bring about the end of the United States. How will YOUR personal Democracy end? Over Israel-Palestine? Over inflation? Over apathy bc you didn’t get your special interest du jour? The Hamas Israeli war could finish America as we know it. But only if you let this war & your own personal self interest override the good of the nation & the democratic world. Just Don’t. /That is all.
Four or Five Republican can literally change the future for America and the world. With so many collapsing into a heap of fear, are the 5 brave ones left? (I’m told there still are). Be a Churchill or resign
My rant:
Ukrainian diplomats, intelligence, and security forces keep working to assist our citizens in Israel and Gaza.
We have already evacuated over 200 people, mostly women and children, from Israel to Romania. There will be more flights.
There are almost 260 Ukrainians in Gaza. Exit from there has been blocked to citizens of all countries, but we are working together with partners to enable the evacuation of our nationals.
Make no mistake.
There was one BIG loser today and it wasn’t Jim Jordan.
It was Donald.
Donald today learned once again that his endorsement means nothing - or even better—spells doom for whoever accepts it.
His grip over the Republican Party is eroding faster than his net worth.
Donald is a cheap conman still charging for his cheap product, but a lot of people aren’t buying it anymore.
He’s a nothing.
He’s a loser.
To all Republicans criticizing Joe Biden and/or blaming Biden for what happened to Israel: Shame on you. I’m pro-Israel. I prided myself on being THE most pro-Israel Member of Congress when I was there, so let me be clear: Joe Biden is pro-Israel. Biden has always been a great friend of Israel’s. Biden will stand with Israel and make sure the United States does all it can do to help Israel defend herself. Always.
