100% agree. The opinion pieces were already written before the first question was asked at the debate. This is all about chaos and noise to discourage Dems from voting. Be an adult and go vote for the Dem all the way down the ticket. It’s the only way to have a future.

Use your Google machine to look at the list of the NYT Board of Directors. How much did they gain personally from the Trump tax cuts that are set to expire? How much personally do they stand to gain from an autocrat that believes the rich don’t pay taxes. The wealthy don’t care about civil rights.

We must remember that Blue leadership is not President Biden alone. We have Kamala Harris with years of experience plus four years of training and a full staff of excellent people, each more than qualified for their position. The W.H. is solid.

#DonWinslow 7/3/2024: "I've never seen anything as self destructive as how some Democrats are attacking Joe Biden. You are literally doing Donald Trump's work. Tell yourself whatever you want but attacking Biden or calling for him to not run 125 days from the election is stupid, stupid, stupid."

It’s almost like the media planned this all along. Their message of Biden bad, Trump misunderstood is pretty clear these days.

Don’t worry about it. I don’t care who ends up on our ballot. My D vote is LOCKED IN. Get a Democrat elected, stop Trump, and then we go to work to undo the damage that the Republicans are doing. First things first! VOTE!!

Congratulations SCOTUS. The U.S. is joining Russia, Syria, Rwanda, Myanmar, Kazakhstan and Sudan on the list of countries where presidents enjoy absolute immunity for any acts committed during office, including after leaving office.

Scary times. Imagine the damage that would ensue. I don’t care what Dem is top of the ticket. Biden/Harris. Harris/AOC. If this doesn’t get you to vote and vote for WHATEVER Dem is on the ticket I don’t know what will.

This is the start of Project 2025 brought to you by Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society. The DOJ is now the Supreme Commander’s DOJ not the People’s DOJ. Allows the new dictator to start his permanent reign will unitary executive powers granted.

I hate this court so much and even I am astonished by this case. It writes new provisions into Art 2 of the constitution that were unnecessary to decide the case at hand and that cannot be repealed by legislative action or even undone without a new case of presidential law breaking before the court

"Don't worry, if the president imprisons his political enemies, you can still get a writ of habeas corpus." "But to prove that's why you've been imprisoned requires proof of..." "Presidential motive!" "And under Trump v US, presidential motive is..." "Inadmissible!"

I’m 63. I have voted for the Dem candidate in every election. The only one I was excited and happy to cast (twice) was Obama. But I still voted in the others. And I still voted Dem. Because the Repub and 3rd party alternatives since I turned 18 have been trash. Just be an adult and do it

All for firing people up. But when it never even makes it out of committee who will the people blame? The corrupt republicans or Biden? This last week they were all blaming Biden for not magically adding justices with a R House and razor thin majority in the Senate.

We don’t have control of the House Judiciary either so Republicans will never let impeachment come to the floor. He knows that. Scolding the Dems for this is low. We barely got an infrastructure bill passed ffs.

I have faith in the Biden-Harris team. They have a plan and we need to give them our support. I actually think they would welcome mass peaceful protests at the court. Part of me wishes they would have a mock coronation in the rose garden for Joe and Jill 👑🤴🫅

For historians, the retrospective legitimation of essentially every criminal act Nixon committed while in office is quite mind-boggling. Ford’s pardon was utterly unnecessary.

She’s in the minority in the House. What chance do you think there is that Speaker Johnson allows this to even be brought to the floor? This is the same as saying Biden can snap his fingers and add SC justices. Performative at best

Did the Dems take over the house with a watertight majority last night? Are we up to 60 Dem Senators? This is the same shit as saying Biden needs to expand the court. Does she know Americans don’t get civic courses in school anymore?

The Pride March rainbow flags and cheers are powerful reminders of love and identity, and the giant sanitation trucks parked at the end of the streets so no one can run their car into the crowd are powerful reminders of why Pride is so important.

Spent a career in cockpits with conservatives. Their leaders embrace their bigotry. In return they will tie themselves in knots to justify the lies and illegal behavior of their leader. Trump has done that for them on a grand scale. He welcomes their hatred and intolerance. They follow blindly.

Yup. The Guardian went a step further and sprinkled their piece with misogyny. Now we are to believe that Jill Biden, and only Jill Biden, can save the day. But she's too in love with her power as FLOTUS to do thing The Guardian deems necessary. www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...

It's past time to vote the party not the person. Trump is the mouthpiece of the GOP. Republicans need him to distract while they dismantle, segregate and steal. Vote for the Dem knowing they have teams of highly capable people running all areas of the government.
