You cannot be a 'Conservative' and a Republican.

Not since Eisenhower, and not since Reagan invited in the Evangelicals; and, even the inventor of the Republican Southern Strategy warned against tying Neo-cons+Birchers to the BuyBull Cherry-pickers. Heritage and Reagan said hold our beers...

Glutamate is the primary molecule that neurons use to communicate with each other.

Previously, scientists have mostly recorded when neurons fire output signals, but now with a new glutamate indicator, they can record the many inputs that causes cells to fire. 🧵

No good Republicans.

Not those Never!Trumps, not those Republicans Against Trumpism, not the ones that frown and mutter about how maybe Trump isn't quite traditional.

Not a single one, all Republicans are Trump Trump is all Republicans as they keep reminding us:
Republicans let him do it.

Stop beating around the bush and BLAME REPUBLICANS EN MASSE!!!!

For millions of us, this was the first time we ever saw Rob Reiner. …When he became “Meathead” on “All in the Family.”

He was brilliant from Day One.

What an absolute loss.

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering.

Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed.

At least two suspects are in custody.

Putin bragged to foreign journalists that his forces had taken the Ukrainian city of Kupiansk. President Zelenskyy showed up instead and showed the world that Russia wasn't even there.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Tennessee Democrat Aftyn Behn fired back brilliantly at Trump's attacks, noting she's "living rent-free" in his head. While he obsesses, she's focused on the real issue: the affordability crisis he ignores. This energy is how we fight back.

Tn 7 will be a Ga 6.

I just do not see it flipping.

There has been ZERO DNC support of Red State grassroot Dems since...

All voting is local, and the locals are brainwashed w/out opposing views in local speak. That doesn't happen without support, which got pulled in the 90s for purple states.

Not understanding the Conservofascist Manifesto that is this document, is why we are in the position we are in today.

This is an enemy document. Treat it and its supporters as such.

I am so fucking tired of nearly 50 years of appeasement against Conservative Fascism and Apartheid desires.

I hope this doesn't end up like Georgia 6, but it is Tennessee.

Flipping this seat would speak volumes, because it is Tennessee.

Here's hoping.
