📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Last night, I was able to get a few pictures from an auroral substorm that hit around 11:30 pm. Although not as strong as Tuesday night, it’s still pretty. Franklin County, NC. #photography #franklincountync #aurora #nature #NorthernLights

The White House is in panic mode because word’s out that multiple Republicans will break from Trump on the Epstein vote.
But remember, MAGA screamed “pedophile” at Dems —to hide the monster in their own house. The spell’s breaking, and the truth’s catching up.

Watch the below thread for more emails. A pox upon the electorate that re-elected a known dementia-addled abuser because "OMG! We can't have a woman leading this country..."
BREAKING:
House Democrats just released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims — among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. tinyurl.com/5yj3dfpx

More governors need to push back on this clearly illegal nonsense that’s being pushed by an increasingly incompetent (and dangerously authoritarian) administration. #nc #ncpol

Yeah, and look how well that worked! We need to get rid of the corporate lobby PACs. In short, Citizens United has got to go!
Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

I don’t think the squishy Democrats have truly realized just how much they’ve angered their constituents. The ones brave enough to hold town halls are going to get their butts righteously reamed. In the meantime, primary these jackholes with people that will fight! Eff ‘em!

#ncpol The open corruption that’s going on at the NC Board of Elections is ridiculous. One can only hope the electorate comes out in force to try to stop this.
NEW: Republicans added a slew of party insiders to the North Carolina Board of Elections, including a former aide to the legislator behind the state’s new gerrymander. The appointments mark the latest sign of the GOP’s board takeover as it prepares for next year’s election.

Trump: "What the Democrats will do is make Puerto Rico a state, make DC a state, they're gonna pack the Court. They're gonna end up with more electoral votes. They're gonna end up with 4 senators. And they're gonna do this 100%."
