"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Many are talking about Greenland, Panama, and Canada right now, which means we're not talking about Gabbard, Hegseth, and Kennedy.

PSA to my friends in California near the fires: breathing in wildfire smoke is really bad for you (even if it’s not super thick where you are) but if you have face masks (N95, KN95, etc) those can help a lot

It's Election Day, Virginia! If you're a voter in SD-32, SD-10 or HD-26, YOU have the power to determine control of both the state House and Senate.
Kannan Srinivasan, JJ Singh, and Jack Trammell need our help to keep the legislature blue. Links below to phonebank ⬇️

As much as MAGA wants to make it so, Hunter wasn’t pardoned for anything related to their fantasy that Joe got money from Ukraine. Comer held years of hearings on it and wouldn’t even hold a vote on it because he knew it would fail. Don’t let them rewrite the history of this too.

When Will Trump Voters Be Asked To Reach Out & Understand The Rest of Us?
We have been scolded & told to reach out & understand the "economic anxiety" of Trump voters, but when will that sentiment be reciprocated? I'm done being in an abusive relationship.

so is anybody even going to bother to go through the motions of calling for Trump to divest from his businesses this time around, or did we just give up on that one too?

Trump's team is in "preliminary discussions about making significant changes to Medicaid, food stamps & other federal safety net programs to offset the enormous cost of extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts next year.”
Medicaid, food stamps are now on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Thread: Republicans won the Senate in 2024 despite Democrats winning more votes & representing more people nationwide.

I feel like the important context for RFK, Jr.’s brain worm has been lost:
He claimed a worm ate his brain while in divorce court in order to prove that he was too MENTALLY DISABLED TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT.
Trump wants to make this man the head of the largest health organization in the United States.
