@POTUS@JoeBiden@ABC@CBSNews@NBCNews@CNN@MSNBC@nytimes@USATODAY@WSJ Why do you insist on ignoring the fact that this administration has accomplished more in 1 year than any other president in history & certainly more than #TFG did in four years: American Rescue Plan; Infrastructure; Economy booming; Unemployment at an all time low; 75% vax rate.
And he has accomplished this with little to no support from the obstructionist @GOP, whose sole public policy is to cock-block everything the President wants to do to help the American people. THAT should be your story.
And since when did "left" become an evil word? How are any of these things evil?? All-inclusive healthcare; child care; pre-K through college education; financial assistance & family leave for hardworking parents; and green jobs to ensure a habitable planet for our children.
Regarding the many questions about #COVID19: Biden rolled out free vaccines, test kits, & masks. Every policy he has implemented, despite #Republican obstruction, is intended to keep our communities safe. #TFG pedaled horse de-wormer, Clorox, & snake oil and killed 800K+ people.
Regarding the endless questions about inflation: This is a WORLDWIDE issue. Both supply AND demand were decimated after #COVID19 hit. Now that the economy has rebounded, the worldwide supply chain is struggling to catch up. When demand > supply, prices rise. It's basic Econ 101.
To the "reporter" who had the audacity to suggest that Biden was not doing enough to "stand up to #Russia," are you even aware that it was #TFG and the entire #Republican party that were apparently OK with Putin placing bounties on the heads of U.S. soldiers??
And, finally, to the #moron who asked the President about his mental acuity, he conducted the longest presidential press conference in history, speaking articulately and cogently for 90 minutes. #TFG couldn't construct a single grammatical sentence if his life depended on it.
Wisely, the President devoted the precise amount of time to this stupid question as it deserved. About 3 seconds.
For those who missed it, the press conference is here:

2/ 2000: Bush v Gore. Nationwide, Gore defeats Bush by 500,000 votes. But Bush "wins" Florida (and therefore the @WhiteHouse) by 537 votes. Prior to the election, Bush's brother, then FL Gov. Jeb Bush, purged 58,000 voters from the rolls, most of them African American.
3/ A court case and investigation by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission later concluded that thousands of voters were wrongly purged, costing Gore at least 4,752 votes — 22 times Bush’s supposed 537 vote margin of victory. #VoterSuppression
#Afganistan vs. Vietnam (Thread by @IndivisibleSF leader & Vietnam vet):
It's infuriating to watch horrific scenes from Kabul & hear TV talking heads dutifully regurgitate official talking points while ignoring the corruption--the giant dung heap at the center of Afghan reality.
For weeks, pols and pundits have been steadfastly ignoring reports that Afghan soldiers hadn't been paid in weeks, were out of ammunition, and were subsisting on starvation rations. What happened to the funds for their pay, bullets, and bread?
Siphoned off into foreign accounts of Afghan political elite and military brass.
Where were the arms and ammo paid for by American taxpayers? Sold on the black market to the Taliban by Afghan colonels, majors, and supply sergeants.
1/ My newly placed “Stop the Recall” sign was ripped in half and left on my front yard. It’s a crime to do such a thing. Lawlessness and race baiting, like fake ballot boxes and hydroxychloroquine COVID cures, will not help #California.
2/ A very vocal and well-funded minority of discontents is raging to get the duly elected @CAgovernor recalled and replaced. They claim @GavinNewsom is responsible for everything wrong with how their lives are going.
