Literally my entire 54 year life Republicans have always been opposed to the gubmint having information on all of us. It was 1A Rights. Invasion of Privacy. 4A Violation, whatever. THEY ALWAYS OPPOSED IT. Until Trump became President. Now Literally all of them have turned a 180.

Love watching these guys like “yep Obama won, McCain and Romney lost, these are easy” without seeing where they’re *obviously* being led.
holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
Mike Lee is an incumbent Senator who is far more radical than El-Sayed in both deed and action so I'm not worried on that front. This is a really critical race in November and I hope he beats Rogers. He needs to, but I have two genuine concerns: Outside spending and El-Sayed's supporters.
To the extent people who preferred an establishment candidate are angry, be angry at Gilibrand. She botched this by pushing out the wrong candidate and lying to donors about McMorrow. She's a liability in a leadership position and the sooner people see this, the better.

Oh great they’re covering him like ESPN covers Jalen Hurts.
Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted
if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law
As a Canadian who's been involved in our own party leadership nomination events, the American system is *insane*.
My neighbor who loves work was laid off a few months ago and is visiting food shelves now after being cut off from food assistance while seeking a new job. He’s also taking in a boarder and doing odd jobs for pay. Feels very Depression era.
Rollins: "For those who love work and celebrate work and want people to work and not be on food stamps, it's a pretty big win when we've moved 5 million people off food stamps, y'all."
Many of the 5 million people are children. Republicans won't feed the children that they force you to have.

This is exciting but, I say this with love and respect, please for the love of all that is good and moral and holy, let us send photos.

oh cool so you created 5 million new jobs for those people right?

Trump didn't know that Northern Ireland is part of the #UK & the rat owns a golf course in Ireland and Scotland. The dumbest man in the USA is our president.
Trump: "I know Europe better than anybody. Better than the people that run it."
Look at cowards, I remember when they reined in Pres. Obama from picking his own judges, even his own ambassadors.
Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
This is a great move. It's not a good sign that Abbott and Patrick are both running against Talarico, not against their actual opponents.
A new $340,000 ad campaign by Gina Hinojosa, the Democrat trying to unseat Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, dropped on Tuesday in markets across the state – ramping up her battle against the Republican running for a historic fourth term in Austin. bit.ly/4xhdo5P
I just bought foodstuffs from Costco. Support policies that help lower income people. Many times they don't have the money or space to buy in bulk.
it’s actually crazy how every Republican who claims they will stand up to Trump is just a total cuck with a humiliation fetish
Tillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"
