Graham Platner is the Dem Senate nominee in Maine, and the choice is now between him and Susan Collins, a proven shill who will confirm more judges that will gut the Voting Rights Act. It’s either Graham or more seats lost in the South. I’m with Graham.
Well, would you look at that. Seven of the top ten presidents ranked by handling of the economy are Democrats, with @BillClinton and @JoeBiden taking the #2 and #3 spots.
Funny how the party constantly smeared as “bad on the economy” keeps producing the presidents who clean up the mess, create jobs, lower deficits, and leave the country stronger than they found it.
Facts are stubborn things.
-------------
1. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Inherited the Great Depression and rebuilt confidence through the New Deal, banking reforms, public works, and relief programs that helped pull the country out of economic collapse.
2. Bill Clinton
Presided over strong growth, low unemployment, rising incomes, low inflation, and budget surpluses. His economy was one of the strongest and most balanced in modern history.
3. Joe Biden
Inherited the COVID economic crisis and delivered a historic jobs recovery, major infrastructure investment, a manufacturing boom, and low unemployment while guiding the economy toward a soft landing after global inflation.
4. Dwight D. Eisenhower
Oversaw broad middle-class prosperity, low inflation, strong postwar growth, and the Interstate Highway System, one of the most important long-term economic investments in American history.
5. Harry S. Truman
Managed the difficult shift from a wartime economy to a peacetime economy, avoided a postwar depression, and helped build the foundation for the modern American middle class.
6. Lyndon B. Johnson
Delivered strong growth and low unemployment while expanding Medicare, Medicaid, education funding, and anti-poverty programs. Vietnam-era inflation keeps him from ranking higher.
7. Barack Obama
Inherited the Great Recession, stabilized the financial system, saved the auto industry, restored job growth, and left office with a much stronger economy than the one he inherited.
8. Ronald Reagan
Helped end the stagflation era and oversaw a strong expansion after the early 1980s recession. His record is weakened by rising deficits and growing inequality.
9. John F. Kennedy
Promoted a pro-growth agenda, restored confidence after a mild recession, and laid the groundwork for the 1960s expansion, though his presidency was cut short.
10. Theodore Roosevelt
Modernized the government’s role in the economy through trust-busting, consumer protection, and regulation, proving that capitalism works best when powerful interests are held accountable.
Jake Tapper: “Democrats just want Joe Biden to go away.”
Reality: At a crucial moment for Democrats heading into the midterms, state parties in blue states and red states alike are not running from @JoeBiden.
They are embracing him.
He is selling out fundraisers, raising real money, and helping Democrats organize for the fight ahead.
The press has never understood Biden because he was never part of their elite class. He wasn’t built for their cocktail-party approval. He was built for working people, and real Democrats know it.
So why do we keep letting losers like Tapper, Thompson, and the rest of the failed political media lie when reality is plain as day?
Democrats love President Biden.
@HunterBiden
🚨 The situation is completely getting out of control.
Albania is erupting for the second consecutive day in angry mass protests against the Kushner land seizure deal worth $4 billion. 🇦🇱
The Albanian people refuse to become a new Palestine. 💥"
Kyle Kulinski: “Jake Tapper wrote a motherfucking book about Joe Biden and his cognitive decline and the massive cover-up. Well Jake, why don’t you get to work on your Trump book now because I guarantee you the cover-up that’s happening with him is way worse and way more severe and they’re covering more extreme stuff. His body is failing and his mind is failing on a regular basis”
This remains one of the few times a journalist stood up to the orange fascist with a simple question: “Do you regret all the lying you've done to the American people?"

The thing about Hunter Biden is that America loves a comeback story.
His mom and sister killed. His brother killed. Ravaged by addiction. Pursued on all fronts.
Comes back a stronger and better man.
Attacking this guy is just gonna play badly.
For everyone questioning Hunter Biden’s qualifications, maybe try doing five minutes of research first.
Unlike the Trump boys, Hunter actually built a résumé outside of his father’s name. Georgetown. Yale Law. Senior roles in banking, commerce policy, Amtrak, the World Food Program, national security organizations, Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service, and a major law firm.
You don’t have to like him. You don’t have to defend every choice he’s made. But pretending he was some unqualified nobody while ignoring the Trump family’s decades of grifting off Daddy’s corrupt business empire is laughable.
The double standard is the whole point.
Jake Tapper’s obsession with the Biden family is truly deranged.
Trump and his family are out here pillaging the country in broad daylight, cashing in, cutting deals, and treating the government like their own private ATM, and Tapper wants to keep attacking you guys?
This is exactly why America is where it is. The corporate media held Joe Biden to impossible standards while giving Trump endless oxygen because chaos gets clicks and ratings.
When the history of this country’s decline is written, people like Tapper and Thompson won’t be remembered as journalists. They’ll be remembered as willing accessories who helped normalize the corruption, the cruelty, and the collapse.
They saw the danger. They just chose the ratings.
OMG. Kellyanne Conway just called Jill Biden a "repulsive, grifting gold digger" on Fox. Jill. Biden! What???
Fuck all the way off Kellyanne.
I can't even with this.
This is brutal.
A new Harvard/Harris poll shows Americans now say the economy was better under @JoeBiden by a +12 margin.
But among Independents?
Biden is up a massive +40.
The media spent years lying about Biden’s record while giving Trump endless free passes. Now Americans are living with the consequences, and they know the truth:
Joe Biden was a damn good president, and this country was stronger, safer, and better off under his leadership.
Jake Tapper is going after Jill Biden because Jake Tapper is a pussy who will happily attack a woman while being too afraid to criticize Trump.
Jake is a bitch.
