Why do we think a criminal will stop crime?
And the funniest part, she was serious. So let me get this straight, governors have to be serious but felon don’t? Got it.

Moore: We were able to see historic drops in violent crime, and never once did I activate the National Guard to do municipal policing. This is not about performance — this is performative. They are now using the military as pawns in this process to feed into this military fetish
Another big show where we are going spill the tea and knock the pot over as we discuss, what's going on in this nation right now! Tune in Thursday 5 PM eastern. See you there.
Wondered over?! That’s probably the funniest explanation they’ve given yet for their uniquely unqualified picks
I wonder if he’s ever met with any of his constituents on these programs. I wonder if his mindset would change if he did. His privilege is tone deaf.

The Biden administration sued the Navy Federal Credit Union to refund $80 million to service members who were illegally charged overdraft fees. The Trump administration dismissed the case. Now, the service members will receive nothing.
For those just waking up: last night Republicans voted against an amendment put forward by Democrats that would have forced the public release of all the Epstein files

Everyone but little Mikey of course 😡
I blame you too
Reps are masterful at messaging. Less than 24 hours later and we forgot the Reps voted for this bill to move forward. We’re already back to blaming the Dems like they do. Stop misdirecting the blame!
We should start demanding an apology before F47 even opens his mouth because it’s going to be wildly offensive every time. It’s a waste of time hoping that one day he’ll finally realize he’s evil and apologizes. Our time is better spent strategizing and mobilizing.
Trump’s billionaires first bill is moving and they’re counting on us not paying attention.
The GOP has something to say about kicking 17 million Americans off their health care
Trump's Bill that just passed expands ICE x 20 ($2.2B to $45B). The GOP just voted to have 20 x more masked secret police descending upon America's streets stoking chaos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=566y...
Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

MUST WATCH: They didn’t just burn Tulsa — they burned proof. Black wealth. Black futures. Gone. And now they’re banning books so you never learn it happened. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they’re scared of. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Praying for President Biden, his family and care team. Having lost my father to an aggressive form of prostate cancer just 3 years ago, this hits home. The good news, there has been lots of progress in prostate therapy in the last few years. #cancersucks

They’ve already said that’s what they want. The puppet masters in the background have already shared their plan. For unmarried women with no male as head of the household, they expect that either the father or uncle play that role. This is not a game. They are serious.
If you love your library, listen up…
#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory Today in history, 1968: Just after 6pm, a woman lost her husband, children lost their father, and the world lost a hero. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, leaving us with a mandate to carry on his work for equality, economic justice and civil rights. /1
Riggs: My dad served 30 years in the military. He used his military ID to register to vote... My mom used her driver’s license when she went to vote this year.. And she doesn’t understand, and most people don’t, why a woman who showed her driver’s license is now being challenged..
Fear sells
Just half the people that voted
Jon Stewart, say it louder for the people in back! It's ridiculous that people who rely on SNAP can't use it to buy a hot meal, but they can buy the same meal frozen. My Hot Foods Act can change this. CC: @thedailyshow.com
Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration speech: “Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we did not turn back nor falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.”
The SAVE Act is a poll tax. Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money. As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1￠, no one should have to pay to vote.

So Speaker Johnson threw a tantrum today & canceled votes for the rest of the week because he couldn’t wrangle enough support to block new parents from voting in Congress. I guess when you don’t get your way, you just shut it down and send everyone home? The American people didn’t elect us to pout.
U.S. officials say the U.S. Naval Academy has removed nearly 400 books from its library after being told by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office to review and get rid of books that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.
The US spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. Yet 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured and 68,000 die each year because they can’t afford a doctor. Health care must be a human right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All.
I mean, I get it. Sometimes I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast but not remembering you participated in a discussion about taking 100s of ppl out is a bit concerning esp for someone in such an important roll. Ijs
Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security. They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

The GOP tore up the playbook, stomped on it, and lit it on fire… there’s no more “reaching across the aisle.” @michellekinney.com
We know and you’re part of the problem. Step down.

You have to dig into the numbers. You can always make data say what you want it to say. They decided to focus on the lower number of the, when in reality over 50% of those polled disapprove.
Today is a very important day in GA. VOTE!!! Your voice can make a difference.
Is it ok to call them racist now?

The House understood the assignment. The Senate ran scared.
This feels like a CLM (Career Limiting Move). You’re failing us!
CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
Let them. Vote No!
This is so exhausting. Let’s take the risk. Time for Chuck to go.

Tia Hamilton has owned Urban Reads Bookstore in Baltimore since 2019. But last month, she started getting bombarded by racist messages. Now the local community is rallying to support her, sales have increased, and a group of Black men from the Tendea Family have stood guard outside her store.

U.S. employers added 151,000 jobs in February, while the unemployment rate inched up to 4.1% from 4% in January.
Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of those who, 60 years ago, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, risking everything for the right to vote and the promise of true freedom. Their courage paved the way, and it’s on us to keep pushing forward.
The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.

I think the entire construct of alpha males and beta males is deeply stupid, totally contradictory to the science and a way for stunted men to make sense of the world. That said it's very funny that every man in Trump world is basically a beta male to Trump.
House Republicans plan to remove dozens of Democrats from their committee assignments to punish them for singing "We Shall Overcome" when Speaker Mike Johnson tried to read the House censure resolution on Rep. Al Green today.
