Proud Tri Valley millennial, Biden OG and Obama/Clinton New Democrat that’s trying hard to bring Dems back to sanity in a world w/o Trump. Views are my own
David Perdue opposes Medicaid expansion, even though it would help sustain rural hospitals & help hundreds of thousands afford health care.
We deserve better.
On Fox, Chris Wallace shows video of Sen. Cotton accusing Dems of "sending [relief] checks to prisoners." He reminds Cotton, "Under two previous COVID relief bills that you ... voted for... prisoners also got checks."
"That was obviously never Congress’s intent," Cotton replies.
Michiganders like Big Gretch because she doesn't fuck around. This IDGAF attitude with that "fix the damn roads" slogan is what elected her in a landslide.
If we could hold an election in 1864 in the midst of a Civil War, we can and will hold one in 2020. It’s time for the president to get his priorities straight and work with Congress on a recovery package that protects our families, frontline workers, and small business owners.
My unpopular opinion on Harris being VP is that it would actually appeal to white voters on the fence for 1 reason. She and Joe look like the local news channel together and to many voters who don’t pay much attention to national issues but vote that matters.
Everyone Trump insulted who’s an icon from a certain state is using their power of revenge from the heavens. Insult John McCain, lose AZ, insult John Dingell, lose MI and insult John Lewis, lose GA
This is why Thomas and Alito dying under dem control will be a bigger deal than Breyer or anything Trump did. They’re right wing hacks who will not be missed
Breaking News from AUNT GLORIA: "After what has happened this weekend, the only way to unite the country is to have a person of color as a the Vice Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. This may be the only way to start healing the wounds. The pain is real."
Iranian women are sick and tired of forced hijab and want their hair to flow freely while walking down the streets of Tehran which in almost every other country ppl take for granted
An Iranian chess player competed at an international tournament without a hijab – the latest athlete from Iran to appear without one since anti-government protests began.

Sorry to break it to you, but the Holocaust was not prevented by US entry into WWII. It was upon US entry in Dec. 1941 that Hitler declared, "The world war is here, the annihilation of Jewry must be the necessary consequence," and then initiated the full-scale mass extermination
"When they jettison Liz Cheney on Wednesday, the Republican Party will send a message to whatever sane conservatives remain inside its circus tent: You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here."

47% of workers in Georgia make less than $15 an hour and 71% of voters in Georgia support increasing the federal minimum wage.
If Democrats take back the Senate, we will increase the minimum wage from a starvation wage of $7.25 an hour to a living wage of at least $15 an hour.
The only good thing abt Trump becoming prez is the fact that Holcomb replaced Pence in Indiana. Holcomb seems to be able to run shit and that alone is what most ppl demand in an executive
Wearing a face mask is one of the simplest, most effective ways to slow the spread of the virus, but we need everyone to do their part to keep our state safe. That’s why we are asking all Hoosiers to mask up and speak up about how wearing your mask can save lives.

Remember this moment: Josh Hawley expressing solidarity with an insurrection of domestic terrorists that he himself egged on by denying the results of a free and fair election to raise his profile for his own presidential run in 2024.
I’ve finally gone over the edge but I’ll say this. For every Jewish person in the world the last month has been pure psychological terror, especially because we’ve felt betrayed by close friends we thought we knew who we’ve seen post lies on social media despite my impassioned…
With the coup PowerPoint in the news, it's worth revisiting the thread I did documenting the speeches before the Jan 6 insurrection. We've known all along that Trump's desperation plan was to bully Pence into refusing to certify the election. It was as clear then as it is now.
@NoahShachtman
Obama did this twice and won back to back landslides. A shitload of former Republicans including many in my family will vote for Biden and are more than enthusiastic to do so
#BREAKING
Cuomo accuser Boylan abruptly resigned her state job following scrutiny of her own conduct-including allegations of harrasment.
Three black women went to state HR officials accusing Boylan of being a bully & treating them like children
Florida has certified its 2020 election results:
Trump 5,668,731 (51.2%)
Biden 5,297,045 (47.9%)
That's a 2.2 point margin swing towards Trump vs. 2016 and a 17.5% increase in votes cast. ?
Reminder the only candidates who took one for the team were Eric Swalwell and Kamala Harris. Theres a reason we turned a competitive state into an overwhelmingly dem state here in CA
Biden Republicans are like my hardworking almost 90 year old grandpa who worked hard to be the family patriarch, joined the GOP under Ike as a new American but found Palin and later Trump abhorrent
The Rise of the Biden Republicans
The pollster who identified “Reagan Democrats” in the 1980s sees the emergence of a mirror image voting bloc. And it spells trouble for a GOP dominated by Trump.
What is the evidence that Black Americans, all 42 million of them, wake up knowing that they could be murdered just for being Black? What is the evidence to justify this proposition?
The reason Nina Turner's "bowl of shit" comment was as bad as it was is because the context was that this was said after Trump had been in power for 3 1/2 years and had tear gassed protestors as well as completely fucking up COVID response
"What sparked the war in Ukraine? A country on Europe’s eastern edge heard our rhetoric about democracy, freedom and national self-determination, and had the temerity to take it seriously," writes
@jkirchick
I’ll say this again but I legitimately believe John Katko intervened to save the 1/6 commission once he realized McCarthy wasn’t worth anybody’s time and reached out to Bennie Thompson. The reason why I do is the fact that John Katko voted to impeach and is a former prosecutor.
It never ceases to surprise me how extremely stupid David Sacks is and remains. Does he not realize that he’s spewing Russian propaganda and that their occupation of Ukraine undermines his second point.
So I'm getting swatted by leftists atm and being called racist because I criticized Nina Turner, Keith Ellison and Cori Bush. That's how low they've sunk
The Democratic Party is more like Joe Biden, Shontel Brown and Eric Adams than Elizabeth Warren, Nina Turner and Maya Wiley. The fact that some still can’t accept this fact says a lot more abt them as ppl frankly
@TheObamanista
These were the same guys who uncovered Edwards affair and the Jeremiah Wright speech, they would have drooled over smth like this. Especially after Sarah Palins piss poor performance, I happen to know that GOP operatives wanted anything but her in the news in late 08
Half of WI voters believe Barnes supports defunding the police — and few want elected officials to support less funding for police. These voters are especially likely to say Barnes would support policies that would make them less safe from crime.
NEWS: Big endorsement for
@JoeBiden
in NEVADA with Lt. Governor
@KateMarshallNV
announcing her support and saying that Biden will “put people over party, build consensus, and get big things done.”
🚀 GOLDMAN SACHS: "We have raised our GDP forecast to reflect the latest fiscal policy news and now expect 8% growth in 2021 (Q4/Q4) and an unemployment rate of 4% at end-2021—the lowest among consensus forecasts—that falls to 3.5% in 2022 and 3.2% in 2023."
Tucker just shot himself in the foot. If you’ve ever been to a Legion meeting you ought to know that many respect vets no matter what background for serving the American Flag. Don’t ever insult a veteran personally

enlisted in ‘90. Lost both her legs in Iraq in ‘04, when the chopper she was piloting was shot down.
Now
@TuckerCarlaon
says this highly decorated veteran who has devoted her life to service “hates America?”
What have you sacrificed for your country, Tucker?
Pete is truly one of the smartest and most eloquent men in US politics and why so many mocked him or belittled the history he was making is beyond me. The fact that America just seems to accept a married gay man in cabinet is what America is all abt.
NEW: President Biden tells
@CapehartJ
that he regrets using the word "illegal" during his State of the Union speech to refer to the alleged killer of Laken Riley.
“I shouldn't have used 'illegal.' It's undocumented."
Tune in at 6pm ET on MSNBC for the full interview.
I hope that Biden's admin withdraws its signature from this awful letter within minutes of taking over. The powerful signature of the United States does not belong on a list like this, especially when the other signatories are places like Saudi Arabia
The US has joined 32 illiberal or authoritarian countries in declaring that women have no intrinsic right to abortion.
We believe all women should be able to access abortion care easily, without fear of penalties or harassment.

Lindsey Graham was just photographed with prominent white supremacist Geert Wilders: Dutch far-right leader
But the picture was taken down fast!
You all know what to do
Carville is correct, if dems moderated just a little bit on cultural issues they'd win because Biden's economic agenda is popular but a lot of dems' other stuff is not
My aunt, who is in Northern Tehran, says she has seen many women walking around today without a hijab.
These aren't protestors...just women going about their day.

Ukraine has requested the delivery of Soviet S-300 long-range missile defense systems from NATO states.
- Slovakia operates 1 battery S-300PMU and 48 missiles type 5V55R.
- Bulgaria has 10 S-300 launchers
- Greece has an S-300 PMU1 system with 32 launchers and 175 missiles.
Methinks the silent voter is a lifelong conservative who hates Trump, is voting for Biden, but lives in a very conservative part of this land and can’t express his/her opinion in public
@beyerstein
It was the US army entering southern Holland in late 1944 that likely guaranteed I would be here today because both my grandparents spent 2 1/2 years one raid away from death hiding in different houses.
The amount of Bush judges retiring is a positive surprise and likely while not completely making up for the egregious behavior of Trump/McConnell rebalances it enough to turn the tide.
