Next question: Senator, do you have a succession plan in place for when your term ends?

Peggy Stuart@peggystuart.bsky.social · 4h ago

Roy Cooper said it and he’s right: we need Senators who actually remember young people exist. Rising rent, brutal job hunts, and half of Washington’s still stuck in 1995. We fix that by voting like hell in 90 days. #BlueWaveIn90Days

They’ll keep us pregnant if it kills us.

Trump brags about making people go hungry: "We've lifted nearly 100,000 Nevadans off food stamps. And they don't want to be on food stamps."

Meanwhile “depression-era recipes” are trending on TikTok for the kids.

jfc they don't even hide it anymore.

This is completely false. Sabrina Carpenter, Cameron Brink, Taylor Swift, Charlotte Clymer… The left loves hot, white, blonde, and happy women.

The GOP wants to get into bed with Communists the same way it paid Jeffery Epstein to crawl into bed with young kids.

Trump administration has increased intelligence operations in Cuba as part of a broader effort to pressure the communist government into major reforms or a change in power.

They also appear to have violated federal laws regarding the reporting of such behavior. bsaaml.ffiec.gov/manual/Asses...

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

People will call this weak and cringe but it’s what Dems need after today. Time to buck up if they want to win in the fall.

This is rape culture.

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

As Republicans try desperately to make the public think democracy defenders are "communists," I thought I'd re-up this thread of mine from last year.

How Trumpism is like Stalinism. A thread. 🧵🧵🧵 Many people make valid comparisons of Trumpism to Nazism. But I think MAGA authoritarianism bears more similarities to Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union – ruthless, paranoid, dishonest and determined to climb into every aspect of the lives of his people.

Feathered phenom 🐦 Kagus suddenly splay their head crests and wings to make themselves look larger, scaring away predators and defending their territory. Known as the "Ghost of the Forest" for their pale plumage and eerie calls, these flightless birds are actually quite gentle and docile.

It’s so disgusting that we’re allowing people to treat our children this way. The people behind this type of abuse of our young girls have been credibly accused for decades of harming children and women.

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

This is absolutely insane disinformation. It could not be more inaccurate. And yet, it also reflects the wider disinformation about this initiative. Let's walk through it: First, an ID isn't involved at any part of the process of buying groceries at these stores. At all.

Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.
