All the good things you've said about Swalwell, Omar & Schiff are true. They are people of proven integrity.
But isn't POTUS also?
Biden has been in politics for half a century, & what are his worst scandals?
*He's old?
*He loves his son, even tho he's made mistakes?
*He used to give fatherly hugs that were inappropriate?
*His staff accidentally packed away TS docs in his home?
FFS.
Biden has earned respect.
I wish Americans appreciated him more.

With House Republicans proposing to abolish the IRS and institute a highly regressive mode of "simpler" taxation designed to bankrupt (or just starve) the federal government, I'm reminded of that time in 1996 when Walter Huss, an Oregon Christian Nationalist with ties to neo-Nazis and far right domestic terrorists who'd chaired the OR GOP in 1978, excitedly corresponded with Pat Buchanan about his "nation saving" single tax plan idea.

DeSantis can't run a charm offensive because he's simply offensive w/o the charm.

[Not an exaggeration. Guy's charmless, a big problem when running for president.]

Politicians should be forced to wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we can easily identify their corporate sponsors.

And Prince is the spawn of the devil...Betsy Devos, The Destroyer of Education.

If republicans succeed in crashing the American economy full Social Security checks will immediately stop.

Meet “Ugly Gerry” - a #font using outlines of gerrymandered US congressional districts.

DAILY REMINDER: Today's MAGA GOP is no longer a political party, it's a white nationalist, FASCIST party that seeks to force their religion upon us by law. They are BANNING abortion, books, Black History + more. They must be politically crushed in order to preserve our Republic.

Long overdue but still welcome.

Teachers in Florida can choose which guns to have in their classroom but not which books because DeSantis would rather kids die than have their own minds.

Cast not pearls before swine. They're absolutely useless at making jewellery.

An ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING message from a teacher in Duval County, Florida who is being forced to make her classroom library inaccessible as a result of @RonDeSantisFL@twitter.com's policies

So I talked to @gedeonm at The Iconfactory over email this week about the loss of Twitterrific and, more importantly, what it means for the disability community and what it says about accessibility at Twitter.

9 fatally shot in separate incidents in US Monday!

OK, #GOP, when is it enough? If you want to be taken seriously in your "protection" of embryos and fetuses, how about caring for us after we’re born? #ONEV1 #DemVoice1 #GunViolence #NRA

Jan 6 was largely a Christian nationalist assault, Mike Pompeo told the committee that he met “with a group of pastors who were in town” on January 6th, and yet January6thCmte asked no follow up questions about that meeting?! #NAR #ChristianNationalism #Pompeo #January6 #Pompeo #dominionism Thread: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1606534526142144514.html
