"MAGA Mike Johnson is calling on #SCOTUS to interfere w/ a local NY case of falsification of business records, just bec it involves his boss, Trump,"- former Chi Trib editor Mark Jacob. "When the system works, Republicans hate it."
"We are rushing down a dangerous road," -Brian Pearson. "Members of Congress now want to overturn rule of law all 4 a charity thief, admitted sexual predator, a university con man, & now FELON. I fear for this country."
Since I have you here, please remember that "the economy" is NOT on the ballot in 2024.
Ever since I've been alive (50+ years), the GOP has destroyed the economy, and Democrats have come in and fixed it.
EVERY GOD DAMNED TIME.
It's a pattern, so don't let the #CorruptGOP fool you into thinking that inflation, unemployment, and the GDP are "the Democrat's fault".
It just ain't so. #RidingWithBiden #VoteBlue
Douchebag Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, squinting and pinching his eyes in defeat and humiliation, because he's a lame-duck, ineffective, soon-to-be ousted Speaker, as American citizens realize that he does not represent their enlightened self-interest, and only works for corporations and the wealthy. And even his evil Republican colleagues hate him. #KevinMcCarthy #McCarthy #McCarthyMustGo #CorruptGOP #BidenImpeachment
Justice is served in Texas: A federal judge just ordered Texas to take down buoys from the Rio Grande River🚨 -state has to pay for moving them by Sept 15. The decision by US District Judge David Ezra of TX is likely to be appealed by the state, which for the past two years has aggressively pushed legal boundaries to curb the the flow of migrants under a sprawling mission known as Op. Lone Star. *Gov Abbott & his cronies should be ordered to pay. #GOPRascism#CorruptGOPhttps://apnews.com/article/texas-immigration-barrier-border-d2a98fd0d9d9c65be1dcdd42a3a150f5
"American authoritarianism is more than just Trump.
Increasingly, it's a police state that kills too many civilians and arrests those who dissent."

McCarthy & GOP MOC will likely force a govt shutdown -withhold funding for FEMA, UA, IRS, DOJ... When more disasters hit the US (we've had 2 in the last 4 weeks), the$ may not be there bc of the #GOPDeathCult: Pres Biden called on Congress Thurs to pass $12B in additional funding for the disaster fund next month, at the latest, when hurricane season reaches its peak. “We’re going to need a whole hell of a lot more money to deal with all you’re taking care of." #CorruptGOPhttps://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/31/fema-is-down-to-its-last-3point4-billion-as-maui-wildfires-storms-idalia-slam-us.html
The IRS is compromised. Hopefully Sen Warren & Rep Jayapal can urge MOC to help end the conflicts, fraud & abuse: The TIGTA found 496 employees who received paychecks from lg. accounting firms or cos.“ either prior to joining, during their time at, or after leaving the IRS.” The report comes after Sen Warren & Rep Jayapal asked TIGTA to look into the “revolving door” b/w the IRS & the accounting IDU. #IRSCorruption#CorruptGOP#CorporateCorruptionhttps://thehill.com/newsletters/business-economy/4177908-the-irs-revolving-door/
Well, look at that, Mike :Coffman trying to buy himself a position of authority. And being too cowardly to admit it ...
The largest donor to a November ballot initiative asking voters to move Aurora to a strong-mayor system is a conservative dark-money group that has previously supported Republican candidates and causes.
Colorado Dawn paid $144,000 to collect signatures for the measure, according to a campaign finance report released Monday evening.
The political nonprofit based in Colorado Springs was one of just two donors to Term Limits and Empowering the Mayor for a Better Aurora, the committee supporting the measure, from May through July.
The other donor was Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman
Mike Coffman, conservative dark-money group have been only donors to strong-mayor ballot initiative in Aurora
Given that it's Mike Coffman leading the charge, I'm going with what the opponents expect to happen ...
The measure, now publicly supported by Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, would move Aurora to a “strong mayor” system in which the city’s leader could pick department leaders and veto ordinances passed by the City Council.
Supporters of the proposal say it will give more Aurora residents more accountability over the direction of the city and its agencies, such as the police department.
Opponents argue the system is more likely to cause corruption because it consolidates power with one person.
Coffman, a Republican and Aurora’s current mayor, is running for reelection in November. He would be the first mayor to lead the city under a strong-mayor system if the measure passes and he is reelected.
Big news is this wasn’t just an interview: it was a proffer session. Rudy is trying to avoid an indictment.
