Wow‼️ Instead of attending hearings where his own constituents are testifying about their miscarriage horror stories attributed to Texas’ extreme abortion ban — @tedcruz has been busy selling himself to the highest bidders.

A reporter found documents left at a food kiosk on the first floor of the US Capitol. They detail information about a series of meetings between Cruz and big donors.

According to @PabloReports, the reporter who found them Tuesday afternoon, Twitter/X took down his posts with the documents because they included the donor’s personal contact info. Private info has now been redacted from the docs included here and in the🧵

There’s more…

All right here…

I attended the Biden event in Los Angeles last night. Fantastic, but it made me think about a few things.

I’ve been around a minute. Lived through several Presidential races. I remember not being excited about the candidates, but I have never in my life fixed my lips to say, I’m not voting because of it. Neither did my grandparents who survived Jim Crow and were not always welcomed at the polls.

I don’t understand folks who are saying that today.

Your top issue isn’t being talked about enough or going the way you think it should? Let’s survive now and live to fight another day. But first, look beyond what you’re seeing covered by the media, because Biden is not getting the same coverage that Trump is getting. And much of that coverage is skewed. It’s likely your issue is being worked on and you have been heard — so look deeper!

We don’t have to invite the candidates over for tea and crumpets, but staying home when we have the Supreme Court that we have, is short-sided and a disservice to those of us who see Trump as the number one danger that he is promising to be.

NO CHOICE — IS A CHOICE FOR TRUMP!!!

The Biden fundraiser event in Los Angeles last night was so well done! The highlight was the conversation with Biden, Obama and Kimmel.

One thing struck me above all — Biden and Obama spent a fair amount of time addressing the Supreme Court crisis.

Biden basically said, the only way out of this is to re-elect him. Agreed! We keep hearing this, but Biden said there will likely be two new appointments for the next President. No quick fix.

I think that’s up for interpretation. Definitely conjecture.

My take — Justices Thomas and Alito will only resign under Trump, but they are up there in years so anything can happen.

What’s certain — we need to think in terms of prevention. NO MORE TRUMP JUDGES. We are fucked as it is. Also, picking up a seat on our side or theirs is not all this is about. It’s generational. Can we survive two 40 year-old, upside-down, flag flying, Alitos?

Whichever president has the opportunity to nominate, they will nominate YOUNG.

My photos and videos suck. I wasn’t far back but at a bad angle. I really soaked it up. Sharing a couple here and in the 🧵

Milwaukee duo SistaStrings performed the Black National Anthem at the Biden event last night — Lift Every Voice. Stunning performance. I’m guessing this was no coincidence 🔥

Clearly there’s work to do, but I don’t believe for one second that Black voters are going to vote for Trump in significantly larger numbers than we did in 2020, which was minimal.

However, there is a valid concern about Black voters sitting this one out that should be raising alarm bells. There’s a lot of important points made in this segment, and I’d like to add a few….

Sitting this one out hurts us and helps no one. If you don’t think the Biden-Harris administration is tuned into the issues the community cares about, or they’re not helping with the issues that affect us, get curious and look into what they’ve been doing on your own because the media is not going to tell us about it.

Look for resources that have been put in place that will benefit you, your families and let folks know. They’re out there, but aren’t waiting at our doorstep.

Also the media is the same as just about everything else in life. The negative is an essay, the positive is a sentence. The negative catches our attention more and Trump is a master at that. He’s playing us.

Many don’t think we should vote for a candidate because we’re against the other candidate. I get it, but opposition is one huge reason why our vote has been so powerful for generations. Remember, Republicans don’t want us to vote for a reason. Not only will Trump not help us, he will harm us with intention.

Sharing some things in the 🧵 that the Biden-Harris administration have done. Things that we don’t hear about on the nightly news.

Speaking of Detroit. Check out this separate thread of #KamalaHarris’s remarks highlighting what the Administration is doing to help businesses and folks in the community.

Student loan debt — I personally know folks who had debt forgiven. This happened because of Joe Biden. Republicans fought against it, even after having their own PPP loans forgiven. Trump is against student loan forgiveness.

Rita Palma, NYS director for RFK Jr’s campaign, gives away the playbook for the campaign’s mission — it’s shady AF‼️

@ritamollerpalma openly admits the plan is take electoral votes from Biden in blue states, in order to force a contingent election so that the Republican controlled House elects our next president — Donald Trump.

Rita Palma’s X post mirrors her remarks on video.

There’s a lot to be disgusted by here, but do not overlook the fact that Christian nationalist language is being used to justify the death of a non-binary student — with absolute authority & confidence.
———

During a public legislative panel forum, Oklahoma State Sen Tom Woods (R) said:

“I represent a constituency that doesn’t want that filth in Oklahoma. You know we are a religious state. We are going to fight and keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we’re a Christian state…”

This was in reply to a constituent calling out that a 16-year-old (Nex Benedict) died after being beaten at Owasso High School. She also linked Nex’s beating to Oklahoma’s anti-LGBTQ legislation.
🧵

1/ There is no such thing as a Christian state in this free country of ours.

2/Tom Woods is no stranger to violence himself…

Christian nationalism is rising, and we should be alarmed by it. Trump as president will use it in his policies. Not because he believes in it, but because it will give him the authoritarian support he requires to expand and maintain power.

History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

JANUARY 30, 1933
#Project1933

Our friend @thetonymichaels sees what’s coming. Do you?

But the more important question is, what are you going to do about it?!

We can’t just beat Trump in November, we have to destroy him at the ballot box in numbers too massive to deny. No big lie in 2025‼️

Folks, @RachelBitecofer @MPLSKerrBear @MamaSissieSays @cardon_brian and I are collaborating on the #Project1933. Over the coming months, we will show you the danger ahead by shining a spotlight on the past.
