I continue to believe that no one should want to be #vicePresident this badly, but just as notably, it’s unsettling to see a congressional "leader" engage in such tactics. We are talking about an episodic campaign in which #EliseStefanik is targeting those who are engaged in administering #justice — not because they’ve done anything wrong, but because they might play a role in holding one of her #partisan allies accountable.
🔕: Surge in migrant “encounters” at the border *a way for the agency to request a⬆️enforcement budget.
An “encounter” is any person who's Q'ed by agents, or anyone whose doc is run thru the system. The aver. BP agent apprehends 6-7 ppl/mo. *suspect has a criminal record... not an everyday occurrence for maj. of agents. Apprehensions⬇️over time,⬇️83% from 1990’s to just 21/agent.
#RWMedia, & most of MSM #media, have helped poison the brains of voters. The outlets have bashed Pres Biden, eclipsing what they did to HRC, while giving #TFG & Republicans undue credit:
"That’s right: A flat majority says that economic conditions in our country are “poor.” Even though they simultaneously say that their own lives are going pretty well."
Rs are broadcasting their sinister plans. MSM isn't sounding the alarm:
Evidence is everywhere: the right is planning to end representative govt if it fails to legitimately return #TFG to the WH -clear a few months after #J6 that the RW propaganda apparatus was laying the groundwork to try again in 2024. #FoxNews & #MAGAMedia spent the weeks after the 2020 election fabricating & amplifying election fraud lies... to institutionalize TFG's #TheBigLie.
Another day, another effort by #Republicans to cast themselves as the ultimate #victims. Nothing matters to these people but their own sense of #entitlement.
"Majorities know little or nothing about the Biden admin's INFRA bill, CHIPS act, ARP & IRA. While 40% of respondents said Biden has done more than Trump on INFRA, 37% said Trump had done more.
It's largely a media problem, large chunk is Fox News & Sinclair, their local affiliate, RW radio... If Biden did anything good, they won't hear it, but they'll hear lies, or gross distortions of the truth-."
#MAGAMike parrots his mentor's xenophobic rhetoric & says he'll help #TFG round up undocumented immigrants & deport ppl who've paid taxes & contributed to their communities & the workforce for years, sometimes, decades:
"Less than 24 hours after Democrats saved his job, Speaker Johnson vows to ‘round Up’ 11 million undocumented people, & likely deport them."
Rep Scott Perry said in a closed door briefing with lawmakers on Tues that the KKK is the “the military wing of the Dem party” & that migrants coming to the US “have no interest in being Americans,” acc to audio of Perry’s comments.
Perry has repeated elements of the anti-immigrant & antisemitic replacement theory before, said this during the House Oversight CMTE's member briefing.
We need to amplify Republican's deceit, their plan to further cut taxes will be so costly, that the social safety net will be eliminated:
"Within this new document from the Congressional Budget Office, you can see that Trump’s current plan to extend every expiring tax break in his 2017 tax law would cost $4.6 trillion — with trillions of that going exclusively to very wealthy households."

How does this dude not get punched in the face every time he steps out of his house? He's claiming that "lots" of #undocumentedImmigrants are #voting in #federalElections, despite the fact that it's already illegal for them to vote. And his evidence for this massive #fraud is that there's no evidence. If you or I said something like this at work we'd be fired for incompetence.
"Top NYT Editor Offers Stunning Defense of Coverage of Trump."
"The failure to clearly describe Trump's plan to cancel prosecutions of himself & other elements of his legal strategy as threats to the system itself, that is, as efforts to put himself above the law."
The biggest GOP donors in America—Dick & Liz Uihlein—are targeting Tammy Baldwin. Their Super PAC is spending millions on a blatantly dishonest ad that'd to be recut due to inaccuracy🚨.
An ad declaring that Sen Baldwin voted to "cut MDCR funding & use that$ to subsidize EVs" was pulled & replaced with a new ad: Baldwin voted "to use MDCR$ for EV subsidies, instead of seniors."
Support Sen Baldwin & the other vulnerable Dem Senators & candidates.
How could anyone seriously consider voting for the #Republicans? They've proven time and time again that they're gleefully willing to sacrifice the best interests of the American people for the sake of sticking it to #JoeBiden. A cure for cancer? Naaaa... It's more important to kick dirt on the President.
In #Texas, #doctors face a real #SophiesChoice. They can either practice #medicine the way they’ve been taught, regardless of the personal consequences to themselves; they can try their best to comply with the arbitrary edicts of the #Republican state legislature and their own hapless medical board, and still risk #prison; or they can choose to leave the state of Texas and practice elsewhere.
#Republicans appear committed to politically dying on a number of hills that time has passed by. Their commitment to gutting voting rolls and restricting #votingRights, their obsession with women’s reproductive abilities, and their hatred of #regulations and #democracy in the workplace are increasingly seen by average American voters as out-of-touch and out-of-date.
Poor ppl aren't the problem, it's oppression by...
Ppl were dying of famine -but shared a sense of solidarity; while poor ppl did prey on each other -more the exception than the rule.
Poverty doesn’t cause the societal disintegration that leads to most crime, it turns out: #inequality does. America is now -most unequal developed county in the entire world.
The majority of Americans are struggling to get by -number in “middle class” below 50%.
