I don’t get shocked when I see Trump do grotesque things. But when I saw Trump in Georgia pulling a PR stunt at a factory, which was pretty much destroyed by Hurricane Helene, using bricks from the rubble as props, it made me furious. Everyone should be.

#Trump & his allies tried to twist the arms of legislators to appoint #FakeElectors that could be *counted* by #Congress. (#JackSmith includes bonkers new details about this scheme, including the fact that one potential participant referred to its ringleaders as being like characters in the infamous Star Wars cantina, otherwise known as the most “wretched hive of scum & villainy” in the galaxy.)

The moment the media chickened out and allowed the term “misinformation” to replace “lie” is the moment everything real in human communication ended.

I asked the teacher
if she had seen the study
which found that young,
healthy individuals
with mild cases of Covid
displayed cognitive deficits,
and the teacher explained
that her district’s superintendent
keeps assuring her
that the problem
is kids using social media.

The first amendment is not a right to knowingly lie.

I live in Québec. You have a new born child, you have a one year paid leave.

The mother or the father can take the paid leave, 6 months each, 3 months for one, 9 for the other, and so on.

FACT - The Federal Government has provided money, food, supplies, and 5000 National Guard troops to help with Hurricane Helene response.

FACT - Donald Trump's Project 2025 would ELIMINATE federal funding grants for state and local disaster response - and would cut and gut FEMA.

What's getting me is that #Vance is nodding when #Walz is talking as though Vance is agreeing with him.

JD Vance: Let each state decide on slavery. It’s a question of State’s rights.

#NotFarOff

Funny to listen to Vance criticize impeachment (for real stuff) when the Republican House tried and threatened and failed to impeach Joe Biden, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Look, the Biden-Harris administration has done a remarkable amount of great work on the economy, climate change, recovering from the pandemic Trump botched, infrastructure, and healthcare. The infrastructure legislation is rebuilding our roads and bridges and creating thousands of jobs, in the state Vance is from and he doesn’t seem to know it. The healthcare legislation is lowering prescription drug and medical costs for millions of Americans.

Vance should fold up now and go home.
