Hey, Hey, NRA, how many kids did you kill today?
@MaryLTrump “Donald’s entire life is a RICO case.”
@JoeBiden United States government official
If extremist governors try to block a woman from traveling from a state that prohibits her from seeking the medical help she needs to a state that provides that care, we will act to protect her bedrock rights.
@POTUS United States government official
Imagine working 40 or 50 years. Working hard. Doing everything right to provide for your family. And your pension goes insolvent through no fault of your own.
I did something about it.
The Butch Lewis Act will keep multiemployer plans solvent for decades to come – until 2051.
Why is the majority being held captive by a minority in this country? The decent people in this country are suffering from learned helplessness. We have to break the cycle! You can be decent and ASSERTIVE and LOUD at the same time.
Trump’s order to Meadows to call Stone and Flynn is significant because it shows the former president seeking to have a channel to two figures with close ties to the leaders of the far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers groups.
Trump seeking to contact Stone and Flynn on Jan. 5 is also notable since it was Trump himself who initiated the outreach — this was Trump seeking their input, not them freelancing to him things like strategies to overturn the 2020 election results.
DSRW Dirty South Right Watch
Hi. We’re Dirty South Right Watch. We’re a small team who got pissed off at under-reporting and poor reporting about extremism in the US South, this is us trying to help fix that.
@DWUhlfelderLaw
The ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill has gone into effect in Florida. I will immediately be challenging this discriminatory bill once elected as Florida Attorney General.
You might not know this, but Charles Rettig, the Trump-appointed IRS Commissioner who refused to release Trump’s tax returns, made hundreds of thousands of dollars renting out Trump properties while in office.
Has anyone seen Dr. Oz? You know the grifter who loaned himself $12 million in the PA senate primary? Well, wherever he is, it’s not in Pennsylvania. He hates that place.
SCOTUS
Litigants allegedly holding prayer circles with SCOTUS justices who are reviewing their cases.
This is incredible. @RollingStone has hot mic audio of a right-wing evangelical activist bragging about praying with Supreme Court justices.
The majority cited the organization (whom they prayed with) when they struck down Roe.
Supreme Court justices prayed with conservative Christian group the Liberty Counsel
America: where separation of church and state doesn’t mean judges can’t pray with litigants of a case they’re about to hear.
The leader of a right wing religious group whose amicus brief was cited by the majority in Dobbs, says the group prays with the justices. An earlier leader of the group says he did too.
“The Supreme Court did not respond to a request for comment”
@AmoneyResists
The party that claimed lying under oath was an impeachable offense during the Clinton administration and defying a subpoena was a resignation-worthy offense during the Obama administration has confirmed 6 justices who committed perjury and backs its senators flaunting subpoenas.
@itsJeffTiedrich
I’m so old, I remember when mainstream Republicans were basically reasonable people with differing views on economics, and not a festering fucktangle of democracy-hating book-banning forced-birth fascist grievance-baby shitweasels
It’s weird that when we cite mass shootings that moved the needle, no one even really mentions the 2017 las vegas massacre… the guy killed 60 PEOPLE and wounded over 400 and it’s almost erased from our collective memory
Big Oil is getting away with highway robbery. Tax its windfall profits. The fact that these economists are trying to blame inflation on the tiny survival checks and meager wage hikes working and poor people have received in the past 2 years and not the massive bailouts and concomitant wealth redistribution upwardly is peak class warfare.
@BillPascrell
If you just paid a fortune at the pump thank republicans. When we recently tried to crack down on gas gouging every single republican voted no.
A group of Pennsylvania Republicans formed a super PAC to support Josh Shapiro, the Democratic nominee for governor, against anti-democracy GOP nominee Doug Mastriano.
Arizona Dem ready to help boot Sinema
@mammylovesc
I just learned that Q, Maga, election denier Congress woman @DebbieLesko is running unopposed in District 8 in Arizona. (My District) allowing these people to run unopposed is not acceptable. Who thinks I should step up and run against her? Any advice?
Rep. Carlos G Smith @CarlosGSmith
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if Republicans flip this seat, Democrats may fall into a super minority in the Florida Legislature. I am running against a radical Republican who is ready to ban all abortion in our state. We can’t let her win.
@TristanSnell
Any sitting Senator who won’t comply with a subpoena shouldn’t be a sitting Senator anymore.
Dan Froomkin/PressWatchers.org @froomkin
The Washington Post claims to be independent of Jeff Bezos.
Bloomberg News is ostensibly “independent” of its billionaire owner, too. But its two top opinion editors quit to work on Bloomberg’s campaign — then came right back after it imploded.
Bezos just hired one of them. So @JeffBezos hired himself a white guy who had already sacrificed his journalistic ethics by working on a billionaire’s presidential campaign.
Lindsey Graham attempted to have votes of Black Georgians thrown out because they are Black Americans who he believed voted in support of Joe Biden. Lindsey Graham got caught. And his time in the barrel has come.
@TonyHussein4
Trump, the Republican Party, and the extreme right-wing Supreme Court, are a national security threat to democracy.
With support from Rupert Murdoch, they have embarked on a mission to reduce voter rights, and want state legislatures to have unbridled power!
Actor James Caan, famous for his roles in The Godfather, Misery & so many others, has died at age 82.
ELON MUSK has nine children, two of whom are twins and were secret until yesterday. Those two were born “weeks” before his second child with grimes, which was also a secret until it wasn’t.

It is time for the global public health community to recognize a growing reality: #Monkeypox is now a pandemic—unless we declare an emergency & act quickly to combat it, we risk repeating the same mistakes we made with covid.
In the real world, the Democrats’ midterm poll numbers keep rising. Political Twitter is an imaginary world.
U.S. officials who invest in crypto are now barred from working on crypto-related policies.

Moral of the Story: Don’t Trust Verify
I feel like this should tell you all you need to know about trusting 25 year old financial advisors. Or any financial advisors. Do your homework and don’t put your savings into something you don’t understand.
