The Biden admin has surprised Wall Street & economists, with a higher 2Q GDP. Many are Republicans, who want #TFG or another Republican to become president, so they downplay the admin's successes.
We need to ensure that Americans see this great economic news:
US Atlanta Fed GDP Q2 estimate is now: 4.18% (prev 3.31%).
The Biden admin must improve its messaging & campaign ads. The pres. should have a young, charismatic orator speak for him at some events & in ads that tout the admin's many achievements, esp. CHIPS, INFRA, IRA, #climate... & goals for the future.
Biden touts his four major infrastructure & clean energy laws. Voters doubt they’re working. Even when they do see positive benefits, many voters aren’t giving the credit to Biden, a new poll shows.
Teacher Appreciation Week is a designated time to celebrate and honor teachers and early childhood educators for their hard work and dedication to educating the next generation.
In supporting teachers, we show our commitment to them by providing the resources and support they need to succeed in their important work.
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.
#LaraTrump claims that the #Democrats are promoting and defending various #electionLaws because they want to make it easier to cheat. But history establishes that in virtually every case of fraud, it's the #Republicans who are #cheating. This is #gaslighting, pure and simple, from a woman whose judgement led her to marry #EricTrump—known by all to be the dumbest #Trump.
We are fighting because this country deserves a leader who respects our democracy, not disloyal Republicans willing to harm our citizens, divide our country and tear it to pieces for a bit of power.
We found the nazis, they attacked the Capitol on #January6th. It will take our collective effort to save our nation from the enemy within.
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 his own words, #Trump is promising to rule as a #dictator on ‘day one,’ use the #military against the American people, punish those who stand against him, condone violence done on his behalf, and put his own sick desire for revenge and retribution ahead of America's best interests. Trump is a danger to the #Constitution and a threat to our #democracy.
#Israel is not #Judaism and criticism of Israel isn't #antisemitic. By dishonestly conflating the two, lawmakers are diluting the meaning and significance of #antisemitism, and providing the nation of Israel (and its current #Likud government) with special protections. Bibi would love to be able to hide behind the stigma of antisemitism, and shield himself against legitimate criticism by redefining language, but we should forcefully reject this switcheroo.
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.
#AaronRodgers is the embodiment of the #DunningKruger effect; Dumb as a box of rocks, but literally believes he's one of the smartest people on the planet. How do the people around him not laugh in his face every time they see him?
#Trump is trying to sound ambiguous, but make no mistake, this is a threat to compel #violence if he loses the #2024election. He says it depends on whether the election is "fair", but in Trump's mind the election will only be fair if he wins. If he loses, then it will be because the election was unfair, in which case he'll be fomenting violence. What the hell is wrong with people who are still supporting this wannabe tyrant?
“We need to know who is going to stand up with us! And this choice is clear. Joe Biden bet on the American worker, while Donald Trump blamed the American worker”
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain
Although this clip is a few months old the sentiment is still true
If you truly are moral, if you truly care about the American worker then you must vote Joe Biden
@flexghost Even more significant IMHO, is #LinaKahn & the FTC #NonCompeteAgreementBan —which I would amend from “FTC bans noncompete agreements, making it easier for workers to quit” to making it easier for #Workers to compete, innovate & help level the playing field for the American #WorkingClass 🙌 💙🇺🇸
The insane wails of people lying about Merrick Garland are getting more and more ridiculous. Sidney Powell investigation overt in 9/21. By 1/19/22, DOJ had Rudy's Jan6 comms. There were overt subpoenas targeting Trump by May. Privilege fights WITH TRUMP started in 6/22.
Jonathan Greenberg:
The only reason that SCOTUS’ evil immunity delay strategy will prevent Trump's Jan6 coup trial & conviction before election is that AG blocked his prosecution for 20 mos…
@GottaLaff@emptywheel The only way to fix this is for the People to rise up and VOTE!. Vote everywhere. Vote out every MAGA Republican in the House, the Senate, governor seats, State AG, all down the ballot. The People need to take control by using their vote. Then change laws, and impeach a few SCOTUS justices, expand the court, fix the Electoral College. Bring back America. Is this a long shot? Yep. But we are capable of doing hard things. #VoteBlue2024
@DrALJONES
Perfect is not a thing. The record is quite progressive. Even now you see him move when pushed. Is it far enough for you? Keep pushing. Might be too far for someone else. Tough job is an understatement.
Many articles out there documenting accomplishments. This one from Biz mag Bloomberg but there are many so search them out..
"The fact that SCOTUS is playing games to DELAY Trump's trial proves one thing:
They know he'd be convicted.
So they are knowingly protecting a man they know to be a felon and a traitor.
Their Qs at the oral argument in the Trump immunity case signaled strongly that they really care more about enhancing presidential power than preserving democracy, & to that end, lean toward giving Trump the gift of even more delay."
Giving a candidate, who wouldn't be hired by McDonald's, classified briefings and voting to put him in charge of the best military on the planet is insanity!
Trump is unqualified for any military position, especially commander-in-chief.
We've known that the Republicans' "trickle-down economics" was bogus & that the rich just got richer, but there was evidence in 2020:
Tax cuts for the wealthy have long drawn support from conservative lawmakers and economists who argue that such measures will "trickle down" & eventually boost jobs & incomes for everyone else. But a study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of such tax cuts have only helped one group -the rich.
I love #UnionJoe#Biden
Great speech, showing the difference between people who work hard and pay taxes vs inherit wealth and make a game show of firing people.
