Trump is a grave threat to the Republic

The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us · 22h ago

Trump is down. He’s not out. He still has a veto pen—and a track record of treating the law as optional. Take the win seriously. Take the threat seriously, too.

Just like clockwork. The corporations that we VOTED to block from buying off politicians are suing to make sure...they can keep buying off politicians.

Consumers Energy, DTE seek to block 'Money Out of Politics' proposal

Consumers and DTE sued to block the implementation of a newly-approved ballot proposal that would bar monopoly utilities from political contributions.

Republicans are upset as Mississippi’s numbers move further toward the blue tsunami. They’re demanding that election officials preserve election documents and all affidavit ballots (commonly called provisional ballots) taking the first step toward possible legal action.

Ukraine hasn't attacked civilians the way Putin has. There's no both sides in this discussion. Trump's a traitor for siding with Putin.

[Q]: Vladimir Putin right now kills Ukrainian civilians in their apartments, in their buses, in their schools and he's targeting civilians all the time. Did you bring that up with him? [President Trump]: I always bring it up and I also bring it up the other way because the other way they kill too

Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan’s newly elected Democratic senator, reupped his calls Thursday morning for Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) to become Senate majority leader over current Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) Along with the vast majority of Democrats, I second this.

BREAKING: California voters appear to have rejected imposing a one-time 5 percent tax on individuals and trusts with over $1 billion in assets, and allocate the resulting revenues to fund health care, food assistance and education, per NYT

👏👇

It's just so typical of the Democrats that there's this coronation taking shape for two of the limpest, weakest figures in the party after voters give them an overwhelming mandate to push harder than they have in decades. I'm tentatively hopeful that at least Schumer won't get it, but...wtf

Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · 2d ago

Lol Jeffries and Schumer are against investigations. Choosing them is guaranteed to continue in-house fighting.

Mind-blowing graphic in the New York Times.

Checking in on the 15 House districts that Republicans targeted with their new gerrymanders this cycle. They were always going to fall short of their hopes, but their failure was dramatic. Even the two seats they did flip barely went their way.

In a gerrymandered district, our campaign was within a single point of winning. Thank you to everyone who worked to make that a reality. I am immensely grateful. I will continue to fight for the people of TN and together our movement is just getting started.

Just me or does it feel like Byron Donald is being set up to be the GOP fall person? The amount of corruption around him it’s not likely he’ll last. He’s under a significant amount of suspicion for multiple things, including things that Republicans have spoken out about. Only one kind of GOP rally

"Pre-Election Results" My God, he is so stupid.

👀 DESANTIS: “Republicans are trying to blame Biden — No, listen, we just gotta be honest. Gas prices are higher because of (Trump’s war). That’s just a fact. If you can admit that to voters you’re gaslighting them.”
