Donald Trump has to pay his own wife to speak at his rallies.

Yes, that was not a typo.

Today, for the win...

Michigan repeals anti-union laws.
Wisconsin overturns blatant GOP gerrymandering.
Pennsylvania legislature swings democratic.
Dems flip Santos' congressional seat.

Mr. Biden is the same age as Harrison Ford, Paul McCartney and Martin Scorsese. He’s also a bit younger than Jane Fonda (86) and a lot younger than the Berkshire Hathaway C.E.O., Warren Buffett (93). All these individuals are considered to be at the top of their professions, and yet I would not be surprised if they are more forgetful and absent-minded than when they were younger. In other words, an individual’s age does not say anything definitive about the person’s cognitive status or where it will head in the near future. — Dr Charan Ranganath #quotes #quote #Biden #age #Leadership #Competence #Unity #uspolitics #politics

@SpiderMan
Democrats appreciate how important it is to stop 21st century's Hitler, Putin, so they compromised tons in order to put a Republican border bill together with aid for our allies, but that wasn't good enough for them since Putin didn't approve.

At least, if we have to wait until next Congress for a new law to address our crisis at our borders then now we'll be able to provide citizenship for Dreamers too along with other compassionate policies we want to add.

@Incognitim I truly cannot understand this: feels like I’m a Twilight Zone episode. People pretending like blatant lies that potentially upset the world order are fine from one presidential candidate, while a clearly trivial transgression from the other is a national issue.

I’m increasingly reverting to my original opinion of people.

@Nonilex

Every mention of this story should include the fact that the House Republicans, who are pretending to care about border security, are simultaneously refusing to vote for border security.

Michael Cohen: I gotta be very clear on this. Lara is an idiot. I don’t say it to be mean, I say it because it’s true. In fact, Donald didn’t even like her for many years. He didn’t even want Eric to marry her.. Not only did he make fun of her looks, so did Don and Ivanka. #Trump #RNC

“History will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games.” - Statement from President Biden on impeachment of DHS Secretary Mayorkas https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/02/13/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-house-gops-baseless-impeachment-of-secretary-mayorkas/

@GottaLaff Steve Scalise now lying his ass off on MSNBC. Why they give these domestic terrorists air time defies all logic…

Sick politics at its worst. The GOP owns the border crisis. Do not let them tell you any different. They own it lock, stock, and barrel.

Republicans impeach Alejandro Mayorkas over the border after failing to last week:

The Lakewood church shooter, Genesee Moreno, was a cisgender woman.

Prominent Republicans, including Fox News, "Libs of Tik Toks," and Marjorie Taylor Greene, are falsely claiming that the shooter was transgender. They're telling this lie as a pretext for the even more viciously hateful anti-LGBTQ laws that they will enact, if we let them win this November.

Please, please don't let them win.
