When a President with his own plane claims it's too hard for him to vote in person, would GOP politicians and Fox News like to explain why, for example, a working mother or someone working two jobs to pay the rent should have no problem waiting in line on election day?

Just fwiw

This free documentary is a MUST SEE. Shuffling people around the US, away from their attorneys and family, away from their Habeas Corpus filings, on a merry-go-round of extremely expensive tax-payer funded charter flights, is a key part of the ICE death machine and hardly anyone is talking about it.

Let me guess, Congress thinks this should be left to the states to decide.

Removing safeguards, planting the seeds of skepticism.

If theres one thing DJT knows how to do, it’s how to keep lawyers in business.

Ever the relentless liars….

Idk why, but I found this really charming.

Even worse than the prior poll omg

Not even remotely close to the next level evil sorts of posts, but holy cats, is this really REALLY what the pres of the United States does with his waking hours?!

thetarawire Either Trump hates Obama so much that he was willing to tear up his deal & settle for much worse or Israel has been calling the shots the whole time & Trump is powerless. Probably both. Regardless, it’s a perfect illustration of Trump’s weakness, incompetence, and lack of good judgment 🚩

SEN. CASSIDY: “.. the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.”

Presidential Pardons Must Be Ended.

Don’t host a World Cup if you don’t want people to come to your country. Ok?

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

WALTER BAILEY: “Dr. King took a bullet in the neck. They were shot. Killed. Murdered. Advancing voting rights… it’s an insult to their legacy. To their deaths.” @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn SenJohnson BrentTaylorTN #Memphis

That's a Ballroom Republican if ever there was one.

What republicans want is for everyone to accept this kind of rhetoric and be quiet about it.

How is Jonathan still in this f-ing game smh #survivor50 Farewell @chubicki.bsky.social you’ll always be #1 in my book

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

If you paid federal income taxes at all last year, then you paid more than at least 88 of the biggest corporations in America. Over $105 Billion of profits went untaxed, in part thanks to Trump's corporate tax breaks in the Big Ugly Bill. It’s so backwards.

Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

I know it’s crazy, but as an alternative, White House staffers could simply choose not to commit any crimes.

Corporations/CEOs donate $ to politicians. Politicians make tax laws. Oh! I get it!!

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

Holy cats I can’t believe she actually thought he would do those things. She knew he was a con man, loved Putin and Netanyahu. He was never going to anything good for the people.

That's because MAGA is afraid of strong women. Just like they are of minorities, immigrants, LGBTQ folks, diversity, equity, inclusiveness, other religions, doctors, scientists, books, libraries, textbooks, colleges, protesters, protest signs, Epstein files, feelings, emotions, and counseling.

Ozzy and Christian making fire, on the beach, with only sun and an eye glass is all my #survivor50 dreams come true.

Abigail Spanberger: He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There’s the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over

Trump and the GOP cut $1 trillion from Medicaid and handed $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1%. Dollar for dollar. That's what Donald Trump calls “winning.”

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

In Woke Seattle, it’s fine to read The New Yorker during the Super Bowl.

Remember when the US kidnapped the president of Venezuela? Anyone still tending to that?

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"
