Sad to say but the #GOP is too extreme. They pay vigilantes to report abortions, intimidate voters, lie about election outcomes, made guns common in public spaces, and rail against teachers, doctors, scientists … anyone with a different viewpoint. Let’s make it stop.

With only 100 Senators compared to over 400 congress people, Herschel Walker, if elected as a Senator for #Georgia, will be exposed as terribly unqualified. He’ll be an embarrassment to the great State of #GA. Please don’t vote for #Walker.

It’s a lie that #GOP is better than Dems at fighting crime. Republicans resist gun controls which police want and they ignore “white color” crime. They ignored many misdeeds by #Trump, and the Jan. 6 attack on Capital Building. At every turn, they evade criminal responsibility.

It’s a big lie that #GOP is better for #economy than Dems. By every metric, GDP, deficit, stocks, employment, Dems beat Republicans over past years. Republicans give tax cuts to corps and rich, spend on defense, drive up deficit, and use deficit as excuse to cut social programs.

Today, Historian #HeatherCoxRichardson writes of the absurd decision by Judge #AileenCannon to hinder our government investigation of Trump’s theft of secret government documents. She caved to the #MAGA base. She granted a privilege to Trump that no other law-breaker would get.

#MAGA #Republicans went nuts about “liberty” over government #mandates to protect all of us from covid. But wearing a mask and getting a vaccine pale in comparison to Republican mandates that pregnant women carry unwanted pregnancies to full term. That’s a real loss of liberty.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

The following #Republican dominated States have taken women’s rights to choose, and mandated that they carry unwanted pregnancies to full term without approving funding for needed support for the mothers and babies: ID, SD, WI, MO, KY, TN, AR, OF, TX, LA, MS, AL, ND.

#Republican legislators went nuts over government #mandates to protect ourselves and others from covid? Wearing a mask and getting a vaccine pale in comparison to Republican imposed mandates that pregnant women carry unwanted pregnancies to full term.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

3 more States initiated extreme #TriggerLaws banning abortion today, but without triggering corresponding laws for providing care for mothers and babies in dangerous or unwanted pregnancies, proving that #Republicans like the concept of “life”, they just don’t want to pay for it.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

Most of us are poorer and less safe with #Republican politicians in charge. #GOP policies favor tax cuts for the rich, undermine education, exacerbate climate change, endanger women’s health, facilitate gun violence, and are wrecking our #democracy. They don’t deserve our trust.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

Far right #Republican pol's engage in truly #deplorable behavior with egregious lies (election fraud), cheating (extreme gerrymandering), destruction (capital attack), and physical harm (gun violence, capital attack). Vote the deplorables out before they kill our democracy.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

Recall, Hillary made the mistake of referring to #Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables”. Turns out she wasn’t wrong about his most ardent supporters like those who maintain his “#big lie”, attacked our capital, and are subverting our #democracy.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

Today, #Trump could have asked #Putin to stop the killing, the human suffering, the destruction, the waste of billions, all caused by Putin’s war in Ukraine. Instead, he asks for dirt on Hunter Biden. That’s what Trump cares about. That’s his pathetic priority.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

#Ukraine. The war ends when Putin is deposed and in jail or dead, and his generals are on trial for war crimes. Sanctions will continue until Russia pays reparations. It will take a generation.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

Rep. Jim Jordan refused to cooperate in OSU sex abuse investigation. Now he’s copping-out of investigation of Jan. 6 Capital attack. He was involved in both incidents.
People were hurt, lives ruined. Jordan has a pattern of bad behavior. Hope Ohio voters hold him accountable.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

Tweeting again to protest widespread #GOP attack on our #democracy. By extreme gerrymandering, creating barriers to vote, and politicizing election administration, #Republicans are destroying the practices that really make the USA great. They are perpetrating the real #steal.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

No #BlueStatesBailout say #Republican lawmakers. OK, we could let States fend for themselves. But that means #RedStates need to pay for more frequent weather disasters, as they are exacerbating climate change and not investing to protect themselves from it.

[Dave Hostetter @racer2825]

#BlueStates & #RedStates both need Fed aid. BlueStates are saddled with union pension costs no longer supported by revenue from lost industries. RedStates are suffering from climate change and more frequent extreme weather. Let’s not politically favor one region without the other
