There is no one better at calling out the #RepublicanCostOfCorruption than Sen Jon Ossoff (D-GA) the man never gets flustered and just spits cold hard facts. “This is the most corrupt administration of all time and everybody knows it.” Preach Jon, way to prosecute the case.👏🏽👏👏🏻
Reuters: U.S. SMALL BUSINESSES FILE LAWSUIT CHALLENGING TRUMP'S NEW 'FORCED LABOR' TARIFFS
The NO WAR convicted felon is excited to put American boots on the ground in a forever war. As gas prices soar along with groceries and all goods, there is one man responsible. One party responsible. Republicans are the terrorists. Vote better, y'all!
Voting is the most basic act of citizenship. The SAVE Act makes it expensive. Expensive voting is restricted voting. Restricted voting is not democracy. It's oligarchy with a ballot fee. #PayToVoteSaveAct
If anyone would like to see a short video of a dog using their tail as a rotar blade, this is your lucky day.
Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊
Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

My sister Maya and I were profoundly shaped by the influence of our mom, Ann Dunham. Giving Maya a preview of the Obama Presidential Center, including a new sculpture by Maya Lin dedicated to our mom’s memory, was truly special.

The loudest voices preaching “family values” often seem willing to overlook behavior that contradicts those very values! When someone claims to stand for “family values” but excuses behavior that contradicts those values, that’s not principle. It’s hypocrisy! #SheShed #AccountabilityMatters
BREAKING: #AlligatorAlcatraz is officially closed 🎉🎉🎉 We've reached a huge milestone in our fight against the mass detention center in the heart of the #Everglades: ICE announced it has removed all detainees from the cruelly named “Alligator Alcatraz,” and DeSantis confirmed it is closed.
Albanians refuse to back down, so proud of them. 👊
I’m just trying to see if I have this right…the ogre has people arrested that touch the reflecting/algae pool up to 10 years in jail. The public charged with vandalism so the ogre tries to deflect his vandalism of the pool.
Rick Springfield performed on June 14th. That's not unusual. Rick is 76 years old; he turns 77 on August 23rd. Almost 80, and he looks like that! 😮
Three photos. Five days. Fifteen million taxpayer dollars. One swamp.
The celebration of Juneteenth started in Galveston, but its impact is felt far beyond Texas. Generations of Americans refused to accept that freedom belongs just to some. They understood that freedom is something to cherish, and that each generation must continue the fight for justice and equality.
