#Project2025 is not some fever dream or conspiracy theory liberals have come up with.

It's a real, 920-page manifesto for neutralizing the civil service and concentrating power in the hands of an autocratic president.

It's the conservative plan to take over the country. It's what's at stake in this #election.

BRITT BILL WOULD CREATE FEDERAL DATABASE TRACKING PREGNANCIES

Alabama Senator Katie Britt, best known for delivering a bizarre, melodramatic televised response to President Biden's 2024 State of the Union address, has introduced a bill to create a federal website to collect data on pregnant people.

#Maddow nails it, as usual.

From the Republican perspective, this election is not actually about policy or governance. It's about the GOP's project to change the American form of government from democracy to autocracy.

So given that @GottaLaff's #DefendantSleepyFlopSweatMcBrainSpurs made it into the top 10 #fediverse hashtag trends yesterday (as part of countless insightful discussions involving #TFG) ...

... I can't help wondering what other #Derogatory45Nicknames might be out there.

Any ideas?

Please don't suggest your favorites or boost this query during his criminal #trial this week. That might upset him.

So @GottaLaff just coined #DefendantSleepyFlopSweatMcBrainSpurs for #TFG and I think we all have a civic duty to make that hashtag trend. So I humbly ask you to boost this message and use that hashtag as often as possible.

When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, they didn’t just eviscerate federal protections for abortion access – they opened the door to completely undermining a number of our most personal rights and freedoms that were constructed on the same legal precedent as Roe. Now Republican state legislators are going after IVF, contraception, trans health care, same-sex marriage, and more.

Together we call upon #Congress to do the right thing.

Ukrainians are fighting for their existence. On territory that Russia occupies, it tortures Ukrainian citizens, kidnaps Ukrainian children and murders Ukrainian leaders. On territory Russia can reach with its weapons, it strikes civilians and rescue workers.

5-year investigation into "HavanaSyndrome" mystery confirms what we already suspected:

#Russia n intelligence using a new weapon to cause permanent neurological damage to high-ranking intelligence/law enforcement officials in the US...AND CLOSE FAMILY MEMBERS. IN USA.

Not a conspiracy theory. Hard reporting from #60Minutes, #DerSpiegel, #Inside magazine.

We ARE at war. And losing.

Yes, I am serious.

Please sign and boost this petition to prosecute "Moscow Mike" Johnson for complicity in Putin's war crimes in Ukraine.

Complicity means "knowingly helping someone commit a crime without necessarily sharing the intent of the perpetrator."

House Speaker "Moscow Mike" Johnson is choosing to let Putin kill Ukrainian civilians and erase Ukraine.

This is not incompetence. It is not political horse trading.

It is direct complicity in war crimes.

Prosecute him.

It's fashionable in some circles to parrot this dubious line:

"Big, fast changes are necessary to avert #climatecrisis catastrophe;

authoritarian governments are the best at making such changes;

therefore, to avert catastrophe, humanity must embrace an authoritarian future."

If you truly believe life in a surveillance regime is the best option ... put your money where your mouth is. Move to Russia or China to do your part.

Then we can talk.

Until then, please leave #democracy alone.

$6 million in #studentloan forgiveness so far for public servants. Remember - the program was bipartisan - and said if individuals worked for ten years in a low-paying public school or health facility & made 10 years of loan payments, all on-time, then their balance would be forgiven.

Under Republicans, only 5-7% were actually forgiven--the program was blocked by Trump and former education secretary Betsy DeVos.

#Biden Administration fixed the issue.
