It's almost as if these Democratic Senators want to lose 👀
We had them.
Republicans had shit all over themselves from top to bottom, and they knew it. Now they're all cleaned up, and lickety-split they are off to the races and the parties and the tax cuts and we can kiss the ACA goodbye.

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

What crap.
We turned out in the millions last Tuesday to show Republicans the Democrats are not happy at all..and there were landslide victories across the board.
For what?
So you can bend over and say, "Thank you sir may I have another"?
Thanks for nothing, Tim.

I think Mike's been takin' notes from the Young Republican Kids..😳 if this is how these folks wanna "tone down the hate rhetoric", somebody needs a Mr. Roger's timeout.
Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."

Diane Keaton is gone, dammit to hell.
There's not a moment of her on film that isn't perfection and I thought she was going to keep giving us all that until I drew my last breath.
I watch movies she starred in every month to keep me sane, First Wives Club is my comfort food.
She was brilliant.

If you don't know this man and his reporting, you are missing something special. He's fucking brilliant.
His spectacular moderating of a debate with Lauren Boebert is prize-winning stuff.
I'd say he needs to be on national news platforms, but they're so corrupt, I don't think he could stomach it.

You'd think with all the folks with keyboards and opinions, there'd be someone or a few someone's offering up a daily tally of how much all of this 'keeping us safe' bullshit is costing the American people.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

This isn't the first time people have spoken like this in the history of this country. It's their playbook and they play it over and over and over again. It's successful for them, for a while. The difference between now and 1920, however, is social media algorithms and AI..burning the house down.
Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat
Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

It's always been clear to me..and frankly, it amazes me that he hasn't done it yet.
It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
