Bad politicians are elected by good people who don't vote.

BREAKING: In a shocking maneuver, Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a Democratic effort to BAN federal troops from entering polling stations or seizing ballots or voting machines. Makes you wonder what they’re planning this November…

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII.

His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General.

Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

🚨 Jan. 6 rioter Kene Brian Lazo was charged with the rape and aggravated sexual battery of a 13-year-old.

Trump pardoned him anyway.

Mind you, Obama already paid them, with their own money. So Trump is paying them a second time, this time with taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile social security is about to be insolvent

Elias: Why does California have signature matching? They have it to satisfy the same right-wing zealots who claim there’s fraud, right?

So they do this whole kabuki theater that takes all of this time in order to contend with the fact that people say that if you don’t do signature matching, there’s going to be fraud. And then they get attacked for taking the time to do that very thing.

The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

How are we supposed to give a flying fuck that Elon is a trillionaire when the guy literally used his power to END programs that fed the poorest people on Earth?

Fuck that selfish asshole, and fuck his trillion dollars helping nobody but his damn self.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Taxpayers paid for over $38 billion in subsidies and government contracts for Space X, and Elon Musk gets to be a trillionaire off of our tax dollars.

FACT: Elon Musk could've ended
world hunger for $6 billion but he
bought Twitter for $44 billion instead.

Elon didn't stop there, he killed
USAID that will lead to more than
14 million avoidable deaths by 2030,
including over 4.5 million children under the age of five.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

Some thoughts on the new Epstein Files revelations:

I’ve now read everything that’s come out from the new Haberman and Swan book, and the thing I keep coming back to is the Situation Room. They held multiple meetings in the Situation Room about the Epstein files. That room is for war. It’s for national security emergencies. It is not for figuring out how to spin a scandal you’re telling the country is a hoax.

While the President was deflecting or calling this old news, his own Vice President and Chief of Staff were huddled in the most leak-proof room in America because they knew how bad it really was.

You don’t take a nothingburger to the Situation Room.

And I have to be honest, reading all this brings back a lot of frustration about what happened in the House of Representatives. I sat there and watched Mike Johnson send the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing these files. I watched him refuse to swear in a duly elected colleague for months just to stall the discharge petition. Month after month of excuses, arm twisting, and procedural games, all to keep this information from the public. We only got the files because survivors, families, and a handful of members in both parties simply refused to let it go.

So when people ask me why I talk so much about transparency and accountability, this is why. The truth eventually comes out. It always does.

The only question is whether your leaders helped reveal it or helped bury it.

Everyone who voted to keep these files hidden should have to answer for that.

Finally, notice what’s missing from all of this is any sign that Trump’s DOJ will actually investigate the powerful men named in these files.

Draw your own conclusions about why a Justice Department run by the President’s former defense lawyers might not be eager to pull that thread.

The irony is that CA's vote count takes so long because of stringent verification rules. You know, the very stuff the White House complains don't exist.

If a mail ballot signature looks different from the one on file, the voter has to appear in person to validate it.

[vic13 _ @vic_113_]

@Republicans Checking signatures, post marks, looking 4 names taken off voter rolls, & ensuring no double votes (mail-in and in-person) takes a long time when you have tens of millions of ppl who voted. It's what you @Republicans want right? Fair elections with no illegal votes right?

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

Hell yes we are. Americans shouldn’t have to sacrifice our cherished public lands to subsidize a corporation run by the richest man in the world.

[DulceBiatch @BiatchDulce]

We have a Trump problem, not a voter fraud problem.
Don’t let them gaslight you with their lies.
