I just . . . He said, "I believe Pres. Obama was sworn into oath, sworn into office, so I'm certain he won, Senator." Yet, later he would not say a similar thing regarding 2020 with Pres. Biden & Trump. It says volumes about them, not about Trump. #WorkingToFix2026
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7h agoholy 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!
Similar to Texas with a hard fought primary.
Jeff Yang@originalsp.in · 2h agoThis is what party unity (and the path to victory) looks like. Primaries need to be substantive contests between candidates with different but compelling visions.

You probably know that ‘s’more’ is an alteration of “some more.” But did you know that ‘marshmallow’ comes from the ‘mallow’ plant that is found in MARSHES???

Person 2: Sure!
[Person 1 feeds a scoop of ice cream to Person 2]
[Person 1 has an excited, anticipatory expression as Person 2 contemplates the flavor]

Well more for me!” at a completely inappropriate time where the context doesn’t make sense and they will feel silly and start laughing when they try to explain what just happened.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hpmfvapshgohw365oaixbhyc/bafkreicqxig75obnok7q3fqqwxnbd3pfznhniugxrr6dgu3co73zjgcsfu)
