You’re looking at the reason I became a Democrat.

In 1999, when I was 15 years old in Brooklyn NY, I volunteered to help a local campaign for City Council.

My parents were Republican and so I just went along. I was naive back then, but I always viewed government as the best way to help people.

On this fateful day, I followed the candidate around with a stack of campaign signs and we began our neighborhood walk.

Trump’s new Cabinet picks keep coming in and they aren’t just unconventional—they’re dangerous.

These choices will shake Washington to its core and set America back decades. Let’s break this down. 🧵 Rubio for State:

"Little Marco" now holds one of the most powerful positions in the world. Why did Trump appoint a former critic?

Donald Trump announces he'll impose a 25% tariff on ALL products coming into the United States from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office.

This is going to be a disaster of epic proportions for the cost of goods.

We break it down here: 🧵 Automobiles and Auto Parts

Why: Mexico and Canada are integral to the North American auto supply chain, producing a significant share of vehicles and components (e.g., engines, transmissions, and electronics).

Impact: Cars, trucks, and repair parts would see price hikes, making both new and used vehicles more expensive.

If we uncovered some really embarrassing information about JD Vance, would you like to see it? In 2017, JD Vance wrote what can only be described as a love letter to Barack Obama called “Barack Obama and Me.” 🧵

Nikki Voters tell her to F - off.

Today I talked to former Nikki Haley voters. What they told me will fill you with hope.

Nikki Haley’s endorsement of Donald Trump raised eyebrows, especially since she spent almost a year talking about how he’s wholly unqualified. 

As a lawyer, I believe endorsements should reflect a candidate’s commitment to justice, the rule of law, transparency, and upholding our democratic principles. Haley’s decision completely contradicts these values and has been a tremendous disappointment for her supporters.

While the news of her endorsement of Donald Trump showed her true colors, you’ll see by the end of this Tweet that her vote is exactly that – just one vote. Because the “Haley voters” I talked to aren’t buying it. I used the Call to Activism Facebook page to reach out to Haley voters, and I was overwhelmed by their unified message: Haley betrayed them, and they will NOT vote for Trump.

What her supporters told me:

Rebecca D. from Michigan:

Rebecca says she will be voting for President Biden in 2024:
“Just proves (Nikki Haley) is another politician that puts party over country and therefore isn’t fit to hold any public office. And I voted for her. 😔”

Diane B. from Illinois:

“Terribly disappointed! Nikki Haley has lost all her integrity and credibility. Where is her character? Politics has gone down the tube, you just can’t trust anyone anymore. I will not vote for her and I want my money back that I gave to her campaign, the only one I trusted, that I ever gave to a campaign fund. I got fooled and swindled. She’s no better than Trump.”

Here’s an incomplete list of athletes with the same height and weight as Donald Trump who said he was 6’3 and 215 Pounds.

A thread. 🧵

First up is quarterback Aaron Rodgers who is 6’2, 223 pounds. Next is defenseman Derwin James who is 6’2, 215 pounds.

This is absolutely wild.

Conservatives are completely losing their minds after it was revealed Fox News has been making charitable donations to Planned Parenthood and the Satanic Temple.

The reason is pretty hilarious. 🧵1/5 Turns out the Fox Corporation created an app called “Fox Giving” where employees are encouraged to donate to verified charitable organizations.

In return, Fox will match their donations. 2/5
