First @JermaineDupri, the President sets policy in EVERY administration. The VP helps that person fulfill THEIR agenda. In no other time, even when the VP was running have we required that person to have spoken up about THEIR policy while still VP.
So yes, @KamalaHarris’ and EVERY other VP’s hands are tied in that regard. It’s not their time or place to talk about what THEY want to do, would’ve done, or hope to do.
They serve the President in virtual obscurity. We rarely hear from them or about them. Think back and realize that.
What was Dan Quayle’s take on anything? Or Mike Pence’s? Even @JoeBiden’s when he was VP?
I’ll wait…

Second, NO President can pass laws or implement their agendas that require funding without the House and Senate approving a Bill first and then sending it to the President’s desk for them to sign.
Congress holds the #PowerOfThePurse
There are executive orders — that a corrupt Supreme Court can and HAS struck down — but to get a bill signed into LAW, it takes Congress. In our case a DEMOCRATIC Congress.

As we continue to support & CELEBRATE the two #JoyfulWarriors we have fighting their way to the White House, please remember that trump is not running just to become #DictatorOfAmerica, he’s running to stay out of jail.
That’s a level of desperation we’ve never seen from him.

We have not yet seen the levels that beast will sink to or the lies it will tell to try to regain the levers of power in this country… its literal freedom depends on it.
That thing was willing to send an angry mob to the seat of government to hold onto power.
Remember that.

This is not to scare you. ❤️
When you’re on the right side of history you have nothing to fear. The good “guys” — who care about others — will win.
Throughout time that has always (ultimately) been true. ❤️
This will make some of you uncomfortable. I’ve decided to post it anyway because I’ve spent my whole life uncomfortable in this country. You’ll survive.
Don’t hit me w/a #NotAll, either. Use that energy to work on the white women in your life this 100% applies to. YOU know them.
If you are upset or offended by this thread ask yourself: Where the lie resides about white women as collective?
If you don’t like the tone or language, ask yourself: What’s more indecent…the turn of phrase or the voting statistics that caused the original poster to say it all?
This is no longer about your feelings or discomfort or your tears.
We have seen them all weaponized on camera for years — that Karen name just rolls off y’all these days.
You’ve leaned in like the folks stealing porch packages right in front of ring cams in broad daylight.
What this disgusting piece of 💩 is too dumb, greedy, complicit or hateful to realize is that people using these BENEFITS are UNABLE to work or DO but don’t make enough to survive. 6M of OUR tax dollars went to their latest 🗑️ investigation. I’d rather it go to those in need.
Further, raising the debt ceiling is about ensuring that our country pays the debts it has ALREADY accrued. Tying the @GOP goal of making sure no one who needs help gets it — besides billionaires & corporations — to the debt limit is evil. But that’s what they all are. #Evil.

Our tax dollars freely go to fund wars and to bail out corporations. No one bats an eyelash at that. But somehow using our money to help the poor, young, elderly and sick among us is somehow a step too far?
Who are we if we don’t care for those who are in need?!

If you want to see a PERFECT example of a Karen attempting to weaponize her tears to get what she wants even if it ultimately causes bodily harm to a Black person, watch this.
