I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.

If the president votes by mail, then EVERY CITIZEN should be able to vote by mail.
Instead of fighting senseless wars, we should be fighting climate change. Instead of building data centers, we should be building housing. Instead of corporate welfare give us universal healthcare.
Hey lookie here! His approval ratings are below the number of felonies he’s done.
Trump’s endorsement machine took a beating last night. Three Trump-backed Republicans LOST their primaries, including scandal-plagued Rep. Cory Mills. And it’s part of a bigger trend.
Trump Suffers Triple Humiliation in Brutal Primary Night
Three Trump-endorsed Republicans lost their primaries Tuesday, including scandal-plagued Rep. Cory Mills. Then Trump tried to distance himself from the wreckage.

📣 Time to meow about our August #CatChatBookClub theme & we’re going with CREATURE FEATURES, so that’s books featuring beloved pets, wildlife, or mythical creatures. 😺 📚 Please note, our next tweet-up is on Sunday 23rd August which IS our usual 4th Sun of the month but isn’t the last Sunday 🤪 😹
On the left: Oliver North, convicted for his role in illegally selling missiles to Iran during the Reagan administration. On the right: Fox News “military analyst” Oliver North, who thinks Iran shouldn’t have missiles. Same guy. Same Oliver North.
When a President with his own plane claims it's too hard for him to vote in person, would GOP politicians and Fox News like to explain why, for example, a working mother or someone working two jobs to pay the rent should have no problem waiting in line on election day?
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear says Mitch McConnell absolutely refuses to film a proof of life video. Ok then, why don't we absolutely refuse to give him a paycheck?
We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.
The thing about Trump is… a well functioning country would never in a million years elect a guy like him, let alone twice.. he is the sum total of our decay and degradation of standards.
To be clear, the orange felon has officially shifted US policy to be more friendly with murderous Dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un than with democratic allies like Canada and South Korea whilst systematically deteriorating the US military. I’d definitely call that treason.
Nothing says military dominance like abandoning ship while your commander-in-chief hides behind the potato salad.
When did it become normalized for the President of the United States to threaten to "bomb the shit out of" our allies—our *allies*—without that immediately leading to a serious conversation about whether he's mentally fit to serve as president
For a guy who warns us so much about communists in the Democratic party, he sure does seem to love communists elsewhere.
WHY ARE WE LIVING IN A COUNTRY THAT SEEMS INCAPABLE OF REMOVING A PRESIDENT WHO IS CLEARLY UNFIT, INCOMPETENT, AND UNHINGED? WHY?! 😎✨
Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.
EMERGENCY EPISODE: Harmeet Dhillon just announced the DOJ will deploy 1,000 election observers for the midterms. The DOJ wants you to think this is business as usual, but I break down why this deployment is laying the groundwork for what comes after Election Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZjB...
