When they talk about it
(if they about it at all)
they talk about the pandemic
in the past tense,
and then they wonder why
they keep having to talk about
how everyone they know is sick
in the present tense.

These creeps know exactly who Donald Trump is -- a terrible danger to this country. They just calculated that they could ride on his bully coattails, which makes them worse than he is. Trump belongs IN PRISON, not the White House. https://www.threads.net/@petebuttigiegwins/post/C-J1_GdtgfG?xmt=AQGzy9eGn6W4R_QV3AWj0Ilssa622_k7A7CVMKuE0ek-iA

J.D. Vance Told His Son to ‘Shut The Hell Up’ About Pokemon While Talking to Trump

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.

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.
