The #UAW are on #strike against the #BigThree#automakers. #Biden should be roaring his full-throated support for the strike. Doing so would be both just and shrewd. But instead, the #WhiteHouse is waffling...and if recent history is any indication, they might actually come out against the strike.

Stark evidence of Vivek #Ramaswamy's #ineptitude and lack of fitness for elected office. It's hard to think of anyone less suitable for a #WhiteHouse position than #ElonMusk. One look at what he's done to #Twitter should disavow anyone of any notion that he'd serve our country well.
#Republican Donald #Trump has launched his general election campaign not merely rewriting the #history of the #Jan6, 2021, Capitol attack [#insurrection], but positioning the #violent siege & its failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election as a cornerstone of his bid to return to the #WhiteHouse.
The Biden administration is appealing a federal judge's ruling that ordered the government to halt a wide range of communications with social media companies. President Biden and the other federal defendants in the case "hereby appeal" the ruling to the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, according to a notice filed in US...
If #Trump is allowed back in the #WhiteHouse, he and his team of pariahs and lunatics are planning to devalue the Dollar in some insane and misguided effort to boost American exports. But the move would send the US #inflation rate through the roof, and destabilize the #globalEconomy. It's a plan supported by #PeterNavarro, so you know it's the exact wrong thing to do. Please consider the damage a Trump presidency would do, and commit to #VoteBlue.
…#MollyMichael, told investigators that -- more than once -- she received requests or taskings from #Trump that were written on the back of notecards, & she later recognized those notecards as #sensitive#WhiteHouse materials -- w/visible #classification markings -- used to brief Trump while he was still in office about phone calls w/ #foreign leaders or other #international-related matters.
This is unprecedented as far as I know. It is, in fact, historic. Biden staffers organized a vigil outside the #WhiteHouse calling on their boss to call for a ceasefire.
Wow!
And to the staffers, thank you so much!
"Our partners in NE Syria, like all people, have an inalienable right to resist a genocide. Wars should not be directed against civilian targets. Silence suggests some tacit agreement.
There are about 70,000 ISIS members + families likely to be dumped on US forces when the misguided Syria policy comes crashing down.
Turkey was is and will remain the major source of ISIS and #Hamas support. US IC is playing a very dangerous & dirty game to get one new member in #NATO.
Turkey is a Hamas, Al-#Qaeda & ISIS ally. The US people have an absolute right to know who is selling our security short and people in the administration including those at #CIA#ODNIgov#NSAGov & #StateDept who have compromised our security need to go while their policy errors can still be corrected." -t.h.
We're still learning details of the #DebtCeiling deal, but for now it looks like #Republicans basically won. They threatened to absolutely devastate the US economy unless the White House agreed to spending caps, funneling more of the food stamp budget to wealthy investors, hurting poor people, and being complicit in racial demagoguery ("welfare queen"-like #GOP propaganda). And the White House gave them all those things to a degree. https://apnews.com/article/debt-ceiling-deal-food-aid-student-loans-3c284b01d95f8e193bca8d873386400e
More dumb bullshit from #Trump. The only people who can vote in #federalElections are American citizens. This entire line about undocumented immigrants coming into the country in droves to vote is just pure fantasy. But that's all Trump has; lies and fantasy. We cannot allow this POS back in the #WhiteHouse. We gotta vote like our lives depend on it, because they do.
