Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

What the actual fuck??
Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin.

You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰

#VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍

This is super important.

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!”

@USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?”

NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY*

Omg. In a shocking moment, Nancy Bolan, a fired USAID worker and tonight’s guest of Rep. Ritchie Torres — reveals that Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. from the global polio eradication initiative — which threatens its spread to the U.S. Every single American should see this.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

And it reinforces socioeconomic barriers to “respectability,”, i.e., bullshit signifiers of competence and belonging. Hard agree here.
The biggest reason why I dislike the idea of respectability in dress is because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable, just as wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you rugged.

Depraved and horrifying.Does he actually think this is a solid, attainable, human goal? It’s putting a social media glam filter on ethnic cleansing. This is the most evil thing we’ve seen from him so far, imo
Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Every accusation is a confession, every time.
Not only is this fraud, waste and abuse … it’s also what people like Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin do

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff.

Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

“It’s easier to be angry than well-informed.”
Truer words were never spoken. We are all reaping the consequences of that.
Farmers overwhelmingly backed Trump—now they’re feeling the pain and speaking up.

Here’s the thing: If you got grants and contracts under Biden, why vote for Trump—who did nothing for you? It’s easier to be angry than well-informed. Harris voters chose their self-interest.

It’s like the DeSantis debacle sending folks to Martha’s Vineyard was a test balloon for greater evil. When you think the people in power can’t get any lower, they pull shit like this.
Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste.
