1/ Will Biden and the Democrats take on the biggest challenges of this generation? Tens of millions of Americans are going hungry right now. Today. But Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans don’t give a damn, because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
2/ Almost 20 million Americans will lose all their unemployment benefits the week after Christmas, but Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans don’t give a damn, because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
3/ Over 12 million Americans have Covid and millions of them will suffer long-term consequences like strokes, heart damage, dementia, and chronic fatigue, but Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans don’t give a damn because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
4/ Millions of young people have had their futures destroyed by the Trump Depression on top of their student loans, but Mitchell O’Connell and the Senate Republicans don’t give a damn because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
5/ All of America is facing a climate crisis, from wildfires to derechos to hurricanes, droughts, and floods, but Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans don’t give a damn because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
6/ America’s CEOs and business fat-cats continue to outsource jobs to cheap labor countries, devastating the American working class, but Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans don’t give a damn because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
7/ Insurance companies aggressively promote privatized “Medicare Advantage“ plans that can leave seniors high and dry when seriously ill, but Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans don’t give a damn because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
8/ Pharmaceutical companies are ripping off Americans – we pay more than twice of any other developed country in the world – but Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans don’t give a damn because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
9/ Mining and drilling companies are ripping up and ruining our public lands, wild areas, and sacred Native American sites, but Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans don’t give a damn because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
10/ Trump tore thousands of refugee families apart and 666 little children are facing Christmas knowing they may never again see their parents again, but Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans don’t give a damn because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
11/ Millions of Americans in red states will miss early, treatable cancer, diabetes and other diagnoses because their states refuse to expand Medicaid, but Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans don’t give a damn because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
12/ While China and Europe build world class high speed rail infrastructure, new hospitals and schools, and state of the art research facilities, America continues to crumble because Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
13/ Americans continue to live in fear of mass shootings as assault weapons of war proliferate and wannabe abusers and mass murderers can easily buy guns, but Mitch McConnell and senate Republicans don’t care because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
14/ Conservatives on the Supreme Court continue to gut union rights, environmental protections, civil rights, voting rights, and protections against big money owning our politicians, but they don’t give a damn because they only exist to serve their billionaire donors.
15/ America has gone from being “the land of the free“ to “the land where if you want to be free you have to be rich.“ We’ve been here before, and courageous politicians like FDR and LBJ took up the challenge and fight back against the rich predators.
16/ Conservative Republicans have done so much damage to this country over the past 40 years of neoliberal Reaganism. Step one is winning Georgia, and step two is pushing the new Biden administration to restore America with bold actions like the New Deal and the Great Society.
17/ As the monster leaves, the real work begins. The election was important, but restoring the American working class and rebuilding our nation over the objections of greedy billionaires and their Republican lapdogs will be the biggest challenge of this generation.

1/ We must stop Republicans from helping Trump “poison the wells“ and “salt the fields“ of America.
2/ Donald Trump‘s treason extends far beyond his efforts to damage Americans belief in our form of government, our elected democratic republic, that Trump’s oligarch buddies in Saudi Arabia, Russia and China also regularly disparage.
3/ Trump’s also actively damaging the ability of the incoming Biden administration to aid Americans during the Trump Depression, and to get the virus in check. In this, he has help from Steve Mnuchin and Mitch McConnell.

1/ The GOP is no longer a legitimate political party: it’s a cult. It’s becoming increasingly clear to Americans that the Republican Party only stands for one thing: the privilege and power of wealthy white men.
2/ Over the last 40 years they have devised increasingly byzantine rules to prevent low income whites and people of color from voting and are now trying to outright throw out ballots in Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta.
3/ They’ve worked for decades, at both the state and federal level, to make it harder for women, particularly low income women, to get access to birth control, women’s health services, and abortion.

1/ America is confronting a crisis like we haven’t seen since 1930, and, just as happened during the Republican Great Depression (yes, that’s what they called it in the 1930s), the GOP is committed to making it worse.
2/ The Republican Party’s latest 2020 scam gives Trump a tiny chance of hanging onto the White House while doing massive, permanent damage to American democracy and, as if they consider it a bonus, kneecaping and, in some cases, killing working class and poor Americans.
3/ Covid diagnoses & deaths are exploding across the country; millions of Americans will lose unemployment benefits, eviction protection, & a pause in student loan payments the week after Christmas; & all Mitch McConnell will do is push through more unqualified rightwing judges.

1/ The “freedom“ America’s billionaires are selling is killing us.
2/ America’s rightwing billionaires comfortably hang out on their massive estates, giving instant Covid tests to their live-in servants, while using the word “freedom“ to describe their lifestyle in the rightwing media they own or support.
3/ The headline yesterday over at Newsmax reads, “No Masking Biden’s Disdain For Freedom” and one at RedState references “Covid Tyranny.”

1/ Racist Billionaire Grifters: It’s time to call the Republican Party what it is.
2/ All across America today, millions of people are terrified. And it’s not just fear of getting a deadly COVID illness that often leads to strokes, dementia, long-term heart disease, and kidney failure.
3/ Over 30 million Americans are unemployed, and because of repeated Republican cuts, the unemployment benefits for many run out at the end of the year. Since early summer, we’ve been adding another 700,000 or so people to those rolls every month.

1/ It turns out that Donald Trump was right: the election was rigged. He would know, of course, because he and Lewis DeJoy were the ones who rigged it.
2/ Historically “conservative“ (e.g. “white racist”) efforts to rig the vote were almost entirely focused on preventing people of color from voting. For a century, this involved literacy tests, guessing the number of jellybeans in a jar, and other low-tech, blatant strategies.
3/ In the 1960s, William Rehnquist and friends launched “Operation Eagle Eye“ in the Southwest where they would send “poll watchers“ to threaten and intimidate Native American, Hispanic and Black voters.
