@ActiveRetirees @NastyOldWomyn Running SSA and IRS competently and efficiently is not the goal. Destruction is. That he may do successfully.

@gtconway3d Trump and his MAGA minions inflict such an excess of 💩 on us they had to find another way to dump it.

@RonFilipkowski Joe is indulging in Trump variety gaslighting. I expect he’ll repeat the lie often hoping his audience will eventually believe it.

Joe Biden pulled off perhaps the greatest oil trade of all time and in the process broke OPEC's grip and basically no one knows about it. We did a long segment on it last night and it's fascinating and worth your time.

@harrylitman His handlers probably have him heavily sedated so he doesn’t lose control before the jury starts deliberation.

Wow. No wonder Trump is raging over on Truth Social.

Watch this ad. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

When I taught at Haltom, Cynthia was my next door neighbor in my portable. She was expecting with her first child, Johnny, and informed me that she would soon be having him. She asked that I help the substitute who would be replacing her while on maternity leave.

Did you know that there will be a cost-of-living raise for retired educators on the November 7 ballot? Prop 9 is a much-needed pension increase for retired educators! We are asking everyone to vote FOR Prop 9! #FORPROP9

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the CHIPS Act, which I voted for, have helped create over 86,000 new manufacturing jobs in Texas.

Ted Cruz voted against all 3.

Ted Cruz is bad for manufacturing, he’s bad for jobs, and he’s bad for Texas.

[Colin Allred @ColinAllredTX]

Just as I’ve done in the House, as Senator I’ll work to create bipartisan solutions that:
☑️Lower costs
☑️Make health care more accessible
☑️Defend Social Security & Medicare
☑️Protect our communities from gun violence

Because that’s the kind of leadership Texans deserve.

I have a question for MAGA —
You say you want trump back in office.
You say you liked his “policies”.
That things were “better”.
That he “fought for you”.
And I want to know why you think that.

Because he told you he would lower the cost of your prescription drugs, and didn’t.
But Biden did.

He said he’d bring back manufacturing, but he didn’t.
Joe Biden passed the CHIPS Act - allocating tens of billions in incentives for companies to construct & expand manufacturing facilities in the US.

For four years straight, he said every week would be “infrastructure week”, only that week never came.
President Biden signed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill into law during his first year in office.

He said he would boost economic growth by 4 percent a year. Nope. The economy stalled, and unemployment soared to the highest levels since the Great Depression.
Joe Biden has created 13.2 million jobs and unemployment has been under 4% for 17 months in a row—the longest stretch in over 50 years.

He promised to eliminate the federal deficit. He increased it by more than 60 percent.
Joe Biden cut the deficit by more than $1.7 trillion in his first two years – the largest deficit reduction in American history.

He said he would hire “only the best people.” He’s since called his AG a “gutless pig”, his National Security Adviser “one of the dumbest people in Washington, his Sec. Of Defense “the world’s most overrated general” and he’s said that people were right to want to hang his VP.
Joe Biden has seen very little turnover in his cabinet and hasn’t so much as criticized anyone in his administration, let alone wanted to see them hanged.

He promised he’d build a wall and that Mexico would pay for it. He then took $15 billion from our Defense Department’s budget to pay for less than 500 miles of construction.
Joe Biden got Mexico to pay us $1.5 billion for border security.

He promised to lock up Hillary Clinton for using a private email server. He’s now been federally indicted with 37 charges related to his intentional mishandling of national security documents.
Joe Biden… hasn’t.

He said he would “unify America”, and then told his supporters to attack our Capitol.

He was impeached twice, lost re-election and has to date been indicted 71 times, with more charges likely to come.

Oh, and that money you’re sending him for the 2024 election… that’s being used to pay his personal legal bills.

So, given all of this… my question remains the same — what was “better” under trump? What “policies”? If it wasn’t healthcare, infrastructure, border security, American manufacturing or the economy, what was it?

And if he’s “fighting for you”, why is he using your campaign donations on his personal legal woes?

I would really love to know.

@gisdnews @MPA_Jaguars @nytimes I would love to read the story, but it’s paywalled. Can anyone gift the article?

Here are *7* cases from 2017 to 2023 in which an obscure citizen was convicted and sentenced to prison time for having classified material at home -- under the exact same Espionage Act "willful retention" provision Trump is charged under: https://t.co/UuA4a4G0nR
