WOW - Why in the world would the GOP block the democrats' attempt to put a $35/month cap on the price of insulin? Corporate corruption. It is sick. Truly despicable.

GOP: We are in a recession.

Reality: We are mathematically in the strongest labor market since 1969 - unemployment is at 3.5%.

GOP: Joe Biden is to be blamed for inflation.

Reality: COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, and other global factors have caused inflation across the world. GOP: Joe Biden is to be blamed for BP, Shell, and Chevron charging high gas prices.

Reality: We live in a country in which free market capitalism governs - which, you know, the GOP only touts when it is convenient.

Guess who wants to abolish NATO: Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. Why? A fundamental battle between democracy and fascism has been building again for years. I hope this is the moment that stops the rising tide of autocracy.

WOW - Ulysses S. Grant nailed it: “The dividing line will not be Masons and Dixons, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.” I would add corruption, avarice, greed and zealotry to the nefarious side of the equation. (Of course the usage of the word "ambition" was intended to capture some of these traits.)

Mitch McConnell will intentionally let the United States default in order to advance his partisan agenda. He really is one of the worst senators in our republic's history. His motto: power above all.

George Washington kicked officers out of the army if they refused to get inoculated against small pox. It was a key decision that helped our country defeat the British. Vaccination is a patriotic duty - to protect our spouses, children, parents, siblings, and friends. Take your "Don't Tread On Me" flags and read a book you imbeciles.

The United States has a massive domestic terrorism problem, and the rhetoric has only ratcheted up the past few days. Federal and state authorities need to intervene on active threats.

FACTS - Never forget that Donald Trump negotiated an agreement with the Taliban to withdraw all U.S. forces by May 1, 2021. And he tweeted in October 2020: “We should have the small remaining number of our BRAVE Men and Women serving in Afghanistan home by Christmas!”

Let me be clear: in the GOP's perfect world, the middle class suffers; our infrastructure crumbles; Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are terminated; corporate taxes are lowered even further; billionaires profit; and only wealthy white voters have the right to vote. The GOP also wants to undermine public education, make Christianity the national religion, discriminate against the LGBTQ community, regulate women's bodies, and ignore the existential climate crisis.

BREAKING: The Manhattan DA has officially obtained Donald Trump's financial records. A grand jury indictment likely is near. Donald Trump fought tooth and nail to stop this moment from happening.

Joe Manchin's daughter is behind the EpiPen greed. Neera Tanden rightly criticized her for stealing Americans' life savings to stay alive. Chicago Tribune: "According to SEC filings, [her] total compensation went from $2.4 million to $18.9 million from 2007 to 2015. A 671% increase. That period coincides with the time when Mylan acquired the rights to EpiPens and hiked the wholesale price from about $55 to $320."

Merrick Garland is set to be confirmed as the 86th U.S. Attorney General next week. Buckle up - indictments are coming. As John Adams famously wrote in the Massachusetts Constitution: We are “a government of laws, not of men.”

Given that Joe Biden will receive his first intelligence briefing today, I highly recommend that he receives information on why Jared Kushner is flying to Saudi Arabia to meet with MBS. Asking Saudi Arabia to illegally hack the Biden administration to aid Donald Trump's 2024 campaign would be a federal crime.

The Texas bus incident qualifies as domestic terrorism. In other words, the President of the United States retweeted and praised DOMESTIC TERRORISM. That is the conduct of a fascist. Terrorism: the unlawful use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

WOW - @BarackObama at Orlando rally again shreds Donald Trump’s utter incompetence.

This morning I cast my ballot in a key swing state for @JoeBiden. It felt wonderful to officially repudiate the Trump administration’s corruption, lawlessness, incompetence, racism, misogyny, and hate. And dishonesty. How could I have left that off the list? My apologies, I was momentarily disabled by pure joy.

It is official: my parents, registered republicans who voted for Donald Trump in 2016, cast their ballots for @JoeBiden! To say that I am full of joy would be an understatement. Asked what kind of government was created after the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Ben Franklin famously exclaimed: “A republic, if you can keep it.” For the second time in our nation’s history, there is a real chance that we may lose it.

WOW - @harrisonjaime is demolishing Lindsey Graham in their debate tonight. He is relentlessly highlighting Graham’s unbounded hypocrisy.

BREAKING: The N.Y. Attorney General just filed a lawsuit against the Trump Organization, Inc., DJT Holdings LLC, DJT Holdings Managing Member, LLC, Eric Trump, and others. The petition is sealed, but appears to relate to the enforcement of subpoenas. Ignore the misinformation that this is a RICO suit - it is not. The case type is listed as: "Special Proceedings - Other (OSC to compel disclosure)."

We must flip the Senate BLUE in order to guard against Donald Trump's coup. @AmyMcGrathKY v. Mitch
@harrisonjaime v. Graham
@SaraGideon v. Collins
@Hickenlooper v. Gardner
@CaptMarkKelly v. McSally
@SenDougJones vs. Tuberville
@ossoff vs. Perdue
@GovernorBullock vs. Daines
@GreenfieldIowa vs. Ernst
@CalforNC vs. Tillis

BREAKING: Volume 5 of the Senate Intel Committee’s counterintelligence report - nearly 1,000 pages - has finally been released. "The Committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president."
