There's no basis for including a #citizenship question on the #census. The purpose of the census is to gather data on "every person" residing in the #UnitedStates. The Republicans' desire to add this question is intended to discourage non-citizens from filling out the census form, and subsequently lead to fewer people being used to determine #appropriation, to the benefit of the #GOP. Dems need to oppose this bullshit move.
For people who claim to be the ultimate champions of the #Constitution, #Republicans sure do hate the Constitution. The federal #government cannot punish or discriminate against people for their beliefs or their speech. It doesn't matter if they're #citizens or not. If they're under the jurisdiction of the #UnitedStates, they benefit from all the protections enumerated in the Constitution. This latest move is a blatant violation of the #FirstAmendment.
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.
By compelling women through legal process to provide information under oath about how they obtained their #abortion, and then using that information to sue the out-of-state #abortionProvider. This serves the dual purpose of harassing and humiliating the person who chose to get an abortion, while threatening abortion providers in states where it’s legal.
In other words, it’s a perfect example of the rank #misogyny at the heart of the #forcedBirth movement.
According to mediocre white guy, #CharlieKirk, there's nothing in this world so awful as other #racist white guys being held accountable for their virulent #racism and #bigotry. In his mind, the real victim in all this is the obnoxious, racist prick, #JPStaples. And the real villain is the uppity black woman who stood there taking his abuse. And #JoeBiden, of course. Can't forget Joe Biden.
The #minimumwage is going up to $12-15/hr all over the country because this isn't 1973, and the #costOfLiving has far exceeded the legacy minimum wages workers have been kept down by for decades. But in #Ohio, #Republicans are so mad at the thought of workers earning a living wage that they're pushing legislation to stop the minimum wage from being lifted. These people are disgusting, and they clearly want to prevent workers from being paid appropriately.
By regularly using vicious tropes about #undocumentedImmigrants and other domestic enemies within, #Trump is trying to acclimate voters to the ugliest forms of #authoritarian, dehumanizing language.
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.
Never let these brazenly #racist pieces of shit get away with their performative indignation over being correctly called out for being racist. And don't let them peddle the lie that #racism is over, or that the south isn't a haven for virulently racist scumbags. These people are certified human garbage, and they should be reminded of that fact everytime they open their hateful, bigoted mouths.
A collection of far-right #Missouri senators is putting the health of millions of Missourians at risk by engaging in a pointless #filibuster. The group is demanding that the governor sign a bill to prohibit #PlannedParenthood from receiving any #Medicaid reimbursements, and lawmakers must pass a bill that would make it harder for Missourians to change the #constitution. These people are despicable and the Missouri voters should vote them out.
#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.
Republicans were always, on some level, #MAGA: “Republicans didn’t purge the white supremacists & antisemites in the 1960’s. I think there’s a real danger in 2024 of nostalgizing the 20C conservative movement as “responsible,”respectable” & “about ideas.” The same features of what became of MAGAism were embedded in the movement from the very beginning, & were broadly tolerated by conserv. elites even if they found them to be slightly distasteful.” #GOPRacists#GOPFascistshttps://www.salon.com/2024/04/20/a-prehistory-of-maga-mainstream-conservatives-never-really-purged-the-fascists/
At what point are the #Democrats going to start engaging in coordinated #messaging, and pushing content to combat the flood of #rightwing bullshit? The clock is ticking, and we can't afford to wait til the night before the election to suddenly realize that effort is needed to inform the voters of the facts.
inI the last three decades, #Republicans have skyrocketed the #deficit with trillions in #taxCuts for billionaires and big corporations, always with the same result: the top 1% benefits while nothing "trickles down" for workers. And if #Trump is allowed to return to the #WhiteHouse, they're planning to go even further.
Well, it looks like #WWIII has begun. This action by #Iran will have to answered by #Israel, and potentially as well as Israel's allies. It's more important than ever that #America retains competent, serious leadership, and not allow a party that's defined by incompetence, and malicious intentions to seize control at this critical juncture.
Commander #MikeJohnson just flew to #MarALago on your tax dollars to tell you that he's pushing a bill he knows won't even pass that aims to make illegal what is already illegal. Then hid behind #Trump because he's scared to death of #MarjorieTraitorGreene. Name a more impotent, ineffective Speaker.
WhatsUp with #Republicans refusing to comply with lawful #subpoenas? Ever since #Trump brought his fat ass down the escalator, refusing to comply with subpoenas has become the default #Republican response. This petulant refusal to be held to account is pissing in the face of every American. We have a system of checks and balances that Republicans are committed to destroying.
