Jon Stewart's message to Democrats after Hunter Biden's pardon: Either live by your professed values and stop rigging the system for your people... or rig the system a little for everyone else, too.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Lindsey Graham just blamed Donald Trump for the border security legislation not passing. Retweet so all Americans see this and know Donald Trump is to blame for any border security related problems
A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.
As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.
It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.
Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.
When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.
The civil suit against Connor Goodwolf for sharing data from the Rhysida ransomware attack on Columbus is a misguided attempt to punish good faith security research. 106cybersecurity experts urge City Attorney Klein to drop the lawsuit, refocus on public safety, and prioritize transparency. Protecting the public from the real threat—the ransomware gang—should be the priority. #cybersecurity #GoodFaithResearch (cont)
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the DNC.
“I, for one, am tired of hearing about how a two bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day to lift working people out from under the boots of greed trampling on our way of life.”
BREAKING: Tim Walz just spoke at Aliquippa High School’s Football Practice. That Walz can walk into a football practice and communicate like this makes him one of the strongest communicators in the Democratic party. Retweet so all Americans see this
During the day, I am running for Congress.
At night, I wait tables. I know what working class Wisconsinites need and I am tired of us lacking true representation in D.C. That’s why I’m running.
Can you retweet this, give me a follow, and help me defeat Derrick Van Orden?
Seriously the double standard here is incredible. For all the yapping on interviews, it would be great for people making these decisions to be accountable to the public. Do they now admit they were wrong in 2016 or is the rule hacked materials are only used when it hurts Dems? There’s no in between.
In Minnesota, just like here in Wisconsin, we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make.
Because we know there's a golden rule. Mind your own damn business.
@MuellerSheWrote Exactly. They themselves have argued in their own briefs (meaning in their court documents, not in their underwear) that they are entertainment, and no reasonable person would argue they're speaking pure truth. Hosting a debate on Fox is like hosting one on the Cartoon Network.
Second Gentleman @DouglasEmhoff was asked what he thinks about attacks on his wife, Vice-President Kamala Harris, by former President Trump.
Emhoff: “That’s all he’s got?”
Emhoff goes onto say: “You heard the Vice President yesterday making the case against Donald Trump. Very clearly laid out the case, directly and in a compelling fashion. But she also laid out a vision for the future. A vision where there's freedom. Where we're not having to talk about these issues of today in this post Dobbs Hellscape that Donald Trump created.”
“…We're gonna prosecute the case against Donald Trump and his lies, his gaslighting, during COVID, the dereliction of duty, inciting an insurrection and all those other things.”
“We're gonna make that very clear. She's gonna be able to make that case. We’re also gonna move on from this type of environment, this Dobbs, where freedoms are taken away, where autonomy is taken away. Where they're telling you, you can't read this book. They're telling you you can't learn these facts. They're telling you can't vote. All that is gonna change and it must change. You see the enthusiasm, you see the excitement. You saw the money raised, you saw the party coalesce. You saw the broad base of support that she had in just one or two days because she's talking about an America that we all have a place in. And that's why Kamala Harris, who I'm so proud of, I'm also so proud of the president. I got choked up yesterday in Wilmington when he called in. All of us did. What a great man. Love Joe Biden. But, Kamala Harris has united the party. She's gonna unite the country. She’s gonna earn this nomination. You see that happening and she's gonna win this election.”
