Back when the prez of the Heritage Foundation—Kevin "Cowboy Catholics" Roberts—served Wyoming Catholic College, he led them to reject Title IV student loans & grants. This locked low income students out—a preface to

, which seeks to end all Fed student loan programs.
@thejackhopkins
Absolutely. The most exhausting thing about the GOP's behaviour through this term is that it has gone unpunished when in obvious violation of what either is or should be state and federal law. Jaw dropping behaviour. A prosecutor-President is desperately needed in America.

Oh man I'd forgotten about that whole thing with Haley this year. Trump tried to spread the message that Haley wasn't eligible to run because she is one of those naturalized citizens he's trying to deport.

judges' personal entanglement with cases they preside over invites a black hole of corruption into the federal judiciary. Bribes and inverted American Flags paint a theme across some of the reasons why AOC is challenging Justices Thomas and Alito.
Today is sad. The world goes on. Biden is pulling his ads, because he's a decent human being. His base, however—we aren't held to the same publicity etiquette. So while Biden is being decent, we should be here doubling down on the campaign.

Biden Campaign Official: "The Biden campaign is pausing all outbound communications and working to pull down our television ads as quickly as possible"
The racism and discrimination emboldened by Trump's campaign do not sit quietly within national borders.
#MAGA
politics have leaked into Canada and abroad for years surrounding the COVID-19 epidemic, diminishing the concept of "empathy" and turning "freedom" into a war zone.
Trump:
1. “Nobody was killed on January 6."
2. There was a “peaceful transfer” of power after he lost in 2020.
Just like Orwell's Ministry of Truth, DJT tries to wipe the record of those who died under his rule, as if they never existed. He replaces history with his narrative.
Tonight, let's make room to hold two feelings: Relief, and Dismay.
Relief, because when a criminal's life is spared, civilized justice still has a chance.
Dismay, because a bystander was killed. And a threat to other American lives will still be running against Biden, tomorrow.
@SJoey79
I think most of us had been adulting for about 5-10 yrs already by the time this term took off. Can't speak for all Millenials here, but being an adult didn't get any easier between 19 and 25 so it was nice to have a word for our meager, ongoing accomplishments.
Holy cow. The White Women: Answer the Call just crashed Zoom & broke their donation link because so many people joined & were donating money. Never mess with women or cat ladies ever again. Republicans should be terrified right now.

's "goals" for the GOP. If Trump wins in November, your Medicare, Health Insurance, and Social Security are among some of the policies set for major revisions within the Plan—and they DO NOT favor the common citizen.
So Trump was "shot at" today. Interesting.
Real or not, staged or not, orchestrated or not—I'm not claiming any at this stage—how long before Republicans use this to make up a story that implicates President Biden?
Oh, apparently literal minutes.
It's been a pretty interesting 24 hours. I can’t even explain the feeling of walking into that arena in Philly yesterday, or that field out in Wisconsin earlier today, or our campaign’s largest rally tonight in Michigan.
I couldn't be prouder to be on this ticket and to help
So this is the shooter?

That Pro-lifers use the words "killing babies" to create a macabre image in the imagination: the manslaughter of birthed children. They do this purposefully, to instill horror in the recipient; a sense not on par with what abortion is, or more importantly, why it sadly happens.
I would just like to raise the point that, after staying up all night and observing the first 18 hrs of this thing, I'd rather get hit the way Trump got hit than the way Biden is getting hit.
A lot of people are worried about the likes of GARM right now, but the real big-scary is not the censorship of Ads. It's the censorship of normal information like books and web searches. It is AI that has the power to correct us, but shuts down the conversation instead.

- writing and publishing a manifesto as stated

I’d say that this MSNBC report DIDN’T AGE WELL but it actually came out AFTER the "A+"-rated national poll (NPR/PBS) that put President Biden over Donald Trump By 2%

THIS is how you handle Trump.
Embarrass him.
Humiliate him.

This is a fairly accurate statement though. There are plenty of historically progressive initiatives that could be taken as akin to sharing with one's neighbor, but which modern oppositional forces would cry "socialism" on. This seems to be what Walz was talking about.
I feel like this was a trap. Musk shares his tax contributions so that those of us who can math call out the disparity, and he can fap to us reminding him how much he makes.
I don’t want a PM who thinks the answer to Canada’s problems is common sense.
I want a PM who is innovative, thinks outside of the box, searches the evidence for solutions, collaborates across parties, and works toward the common good.
That person isn’t Pierre Poilievre.
The planned installation of Republican governors in every state will ensure that right-wing laws favored by the Supreme Court are written into state legislation.
Overturning Roe v Wade was a federal plan, not an opportunity to "give states more freedom".
@BraddrofliT
What you don’t hear them mention is that Roe V Wade included a federal viability clause making late term abortion a federal crime if it didn’t mean saving the mother’s life.
No one is for late term abortions. So Republicans only have themselves to blame.
If you’re taught to believe Revelation you’re primed to believe anything. And anything includes Qanon, Jewish space lasers, H Clinton drinking child blood etc. All-of-a-piece with fundamentalist faith. Far right leaders are fundamentalist Christians.
Michael Flynn, who earned the sarcastic moniker "Flynn Facts" during his short term with the Obama administration, seems to share in the conservative handicap of not being able to directly answer questions.
(📣) DOCUMENT: Here's Michael Flynn—who Trump has promised to bring into his administration if elected—under oath before Congress *pleading the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination* to avoid revealing if he even *knows* the man who wrote the Trump Target List, Ivan Raiklin.
Two dead and it's all a game to the GOP. Wait for it.
If Crook's poor parents don't end up singing Donald's praises—and why wouldn't they? It was daddy's gun that did the shooting—I'll eat my hat. Trump will urge the public to be forgiving—because he is a merciful, bleeding god.
