agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Just. Ask. Them. The. Damn. Question. Again. And. Again.

"You swore an oath to the country & Constitution. The president is breaking the law & violating the Constitution & appears mentally unfit. Why haven't you fulfilled your oath yet by voting for impeachment (implementing the 25th amendment)?"
people seriously underplay the strength of elected leaders, influential people and the like just saying a thing.

just... like... say a thing and repeat it. its the core of politics and communications. you say a thing and say it over and over and it becomes the story. it works.

The GOP called protestors "terrorists" and "Marxists" and that didn't stop retired moderates in small towns from coming out today dressed in frog costumes because they're tired of this obvious bullshit.

Two million more than in June. Seven million total.

The GOP should be very worried.

It really is like Nixon live blogging Watergate and the journalism establishment saying eh, what can you do
There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Big tennis fan here, but any broadcaster that practices actual journalism will tell the USTA to F off.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.

Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.

Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

Don’t print lies in the newspapers.

Don’t keep platforming the lying liars to performatively lie on your teevee shows.

End the interviews immediately if you’ve messed up by inviting them anyway & they once again performatively lie in public.

What is journalism, anyway?

Absolutely zero leadership from these two; time for a Dem groundswell to kick them out
I can’t believe a party led by Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries is struggling to excite or motivate voters.

They’ve tried nothing and they’re all out of ideas!

Dems support fair, independent districting. Why don’t Republicans?

For the same reason they want to ban mail-in ballots, and make it harder to regain your voting rights, and on and on.

They have made voter suppression an art form. They want minority rule. 🇺🇸

Tens of thousands of Israelis are protesting today for an end to this horrific war, for an end to the destruction, starvation & mass slaughter of Palestinians & for the return of all hostages.

So many Israelis want the war to end, for all hostages to come home & a path toward peace. 🧵

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not.

He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.
