GOP "Sen. Chuck Grassley admitted that “passing a tax bill that makes the president look good mailing out checks before the election, means he could be reelected and then we won’t extend the 2017 tax cuts,” referring to the tax cuts that passed under President Trump and benefited the rich."

Crystal clear.
Democrats are working for working families.
Republicans are working for their wealthy donors.

Reminder: conservatives claim to be angry about trans people because they argue that trans people are (checks notes) pedophiles.

Isn't that #weird?

Just a quick thought. I'm sure many (everyone?) here have a preference for Harris's VP pick, but once she's announced, that person deserves 100% of our support. No nit-picking, second-guessing, or backseat whining... the GOP will pounce on any Democratic dissention.

In January the House passed a bill to expand the Child Tax Credit, which would have lifted half a million American kids out of poverty.

Yesterday, almost every Senate Republican voted to block the bill.

This bill isn't perfect, but fighting child poverty shouldn't be partisan.

That's one of the reasons that I'm glad that New York City has stepped up to hold Donald Trump accountable.

I'm so hoping that Judge Merchan sentences him to jail. That will give him an excuse to not take the stage with Kamala in a debate at least.

When Trump tells you something - or in this case, refuses to tell you something - listen.

Kinda surprised that Trump’s struggling with someone being Black AND Indian…

After all, he’s a racist AND an idiot.

Harris wins enough delegates to be Democratic presidential nominee https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/080224_harris_delegates/harris-wins-enough-delegates-democratic-presidential-nominee/
Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison announced that Vice President Kamala Harris had received enough Democratic delegates' votes to be officially named the party's 2024 presidential nominee.

Just my opinion but I’m confident Trump’s handlers knew exactly how he would behave when interviewed by three women, three Black women, at NABJ. Neither they nor anybody else in the Republican crime syndicate (it is not a legitimate political party) thinks Trump is going to win over Black voters. They want sound bites and clips for their white supremacist supporters.

Via Rupar:

Kamala #Harris in Houston addresses Trump's bonkers appearance at the #NABJ: "The divisiveness and the disrespect. And let me just say. The American people deserve better ... a leader who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the facts."

Q's latest prank

#StarTrek

Senator Chuck Schumer (who is Jewish) is a "Palestinian and a proud member of Hamas," Trump falsely claims.

I'm happy old people can be #POTUS again now that #Biden destroyed that #corporate narrative by out thinking everyone political in his sacrifice to the #oath of service.

No one on TV discussing Trump being old and obviously #racist with his old tropes and recycled attacks at the #nabj
