Donald Trump is still spreading lies about the election and states are still introducing voter suppression bills -- I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: it’s time for a national voting rights bill.

Please watch this. This is the world we have been trying to leave behind for the past fifty years, and it is the world the radical right wants to bring back. Think of all the smart voices that will be silenced in favor of smug white male fools if we allow this to happen. #BTDT

@elvislver56 @BaddCompani The GOP is running Republicans for Office, who pretend to be Democrats, and switch parties after election. The voters (taxpayers), “hired” them to represent THEIR interests. It’s actually theft of the intangible right of honest services, a crime.

READ ALL ABOUT IT: Jim Jordan was a major co-conspirator in Trump's effort to mount a coup. Yet it's not an issue in the speakership race. @dfriedman33 & I have all the ugly details. Jim Jordan Tried to Help Trump Mount a Coup. Now He Gets To Be Speaker?

The vast majority of the theft occurred in 2020. Worth noting that the Biden administration put into place the watchdogs Trump rejected.

Thread. Personally, I am wondering how much of politics now is only about super rich folks determined to sink Biden because he wants to raise taxes on the extraordinary fortunes they’ve amassed under the low-tax regime of the past 40 years.

1/ Good morning. If any of you are still bamboozled by Nancy Jacobsen and Mark Penn's @nolabelsorg 's actual intentions let me hook you up. They claim to be moderate, centrist problem solvers who are running a 3rd part effort to "give Americans more choices."

Shocking. Trump's lawyers' brief (p. 2) reads as if it came straight from Reconstruction. It says Ds are using Americans' horror and confusion over January 6 to gain political advantage. In 1866, white supremacists said the same about those trying to protect Black lives.

One thing Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan have in common— both had calls with Donald Trump during the most violent moments of the January 6th attack, and both refused to tell the American people or investigators what Trump said on those calls to the point of defying subpoenas

@tedcruz Your tweet is a reckless and dangerous lie. Biden has made it crystal clear that US troops ARE NOT fighting in Ukraine- hence his opposition to Ukraine entering NATO right now. Why are you deliberately lying to your constituents? Do you think they’re stupid?

In the '30s, the Nazis launched a propaganda campaign in America to shift public opinion on the war in Europe. Today, Russia is using these same tactics to influence U.S. support for Ukraine. I asked Secretary Austin if he sees this campaign as a threat to American interests.
