THREAD: Mitch McConnell endangers our democracy. From refusing to alert us about Putin's attack in 2016, to his racist obstruction of Obama, to blocking hundreds of bills to improve our lives and democracy. He must go. Here's how we take back the Senate...
newsweek.com/mitch-mcconnel…
Democrats need to hold on to two vulnerable Senate seats and win four more to gain a majority in the Senate. With all these strong candidates for Senate, there's a great shot at taking back power from McConnell. Let's get to work!

We are in the fight of our lives, and the media normalizes Trump like they did in 2016. Listen to this week's @gaslitnation, The Kremlin Convention, on the #RNC2024 and the "both-sidesing" of America's far-right driven political violence crisis🧵gaslitnation.libsyn.com/kremlin-conven…
"The ridiculous drone of bleating sheep from Animal Farm in the mainstream media call on 'both sides' to turn the temperature down." --@gaslitnation
"The media continues to fail the American public. The most dangerous people in America swear, finally, finally, Trump is going to see the light of Christ or something. Suddenly, he's going to become a normal human being, a human being who actually feels things."

Eighty years after countless people gave their lives liberating Europe, fascism makes a comeback in European elections. @terrelljstarr and I discuss the MAGA virus, its devastating impact on Ukraine, and how to resist it in this week's @gaslitnation gaslitnation.libsyn.com/why-is-fascism…
I asked @terrelljstarr, who's in Ukraine, the impact of MAGA deliberately delaying aid for 6 critical months, giving Russia the advantage. It's bad.
“Russia has been attacking Ukraine's critical infrastructure, causing scheduled blackouts across the country, especially in central and eastern Ukraine.”

Project 2025 is 900 pages long, because they don't want you to read it. Anne Nelson read every creepy page and breaks it down in the Gaslit Nation Project 2025 Super Special.🧵 Trump as a puppet of the Christian nationalism, Heritage Foundation, KKK and white Jesus holding an AK-47 with a Koch label on his robe
Project 2025 is the radical right's blueprint for dismantling American democracy. They want to eliminate the Dept of Education, turn the FBI/DOJ into the president's personal security forces to crush his enemies. It's straight out of an authoritarian playbook. #Project25
Project 2025 even aims to repeal Schedule F, allowing a president to replace thousands of federal employees with partisan loyalists. It's the ultimate cronyism, threatening the impartiality of our civil service. #Project25

What's Russia's greatest weapon in its genocide of Ukraine and fascist global war on democracy? Western corruption. Here's a thread of urgent solutions of how to fix this and ensure Ukraine wins🧵 Image
It cannot be overstated Trump/MAGA through Mike Johnson successfully delayed aid to Ukraine for six critical months, helping Russia’s military advance. This is treason. Trump and all MAGAs in Congress are traitors to our country and undermined our allies nytimes.com/2024/05/14/us/…
As Trump/MAGA deliberately delayed Ukraine aid, Russia was given much-needed time to innovate technologically, with the help of sanctions evasions and tech from Western companies

The threat to democracy is greater than Trump. Our Founding Father's made painful compromises to establish the Constitution🧵
James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, feared two Senators for every state would give too much power to smaller states, thwarting the will of the majority. He was right.
"A resident of Wyoming has 68 times the representation in the Senate as does a resident of California, the largest state by population. A state gets less representation in the Senate the more it attracts new residents." nytimes.com/2023/11/21/opi…

Russia uses our own weaknesses against us, to entrench their weaponized corruption. That's how they build power and take over countries from within, like in Georgia🧵
Corruption is America's biggest weakness and threatens our national security. Take, for instance, the Act 22 tax loophole that lets rich Americans buy up land in Puerto Rico to avoid paying federal taxes.

Yes, this exists.
The Act 22 tax loophole is based on Republican “trickle down theory,” but the locals call it gentrification and tax dodging. It exploded the housing crisis in Puerto Rico, driving up rent 600%. The island is now three times poorer than Mississippi, the poorest state.
