A fun fact about JD Vance is that he's openly backed purging anyone who disagrees with him from the government, comparing it to "de-Nazification," and illegally defying court orders to do so.

Please don’t “both sides” the “violent political rhetoric” conversation when one side regularly glorifies and intimidates with guns and the other side speaks out to end gun violence. These are not the same.

Trump claims he doesn't know who's behind Project 2025. Trump also claims he wasn't friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Trump also claims he didn't know or rape E. Jean Carroll. Trump also claims he didn't have sex with Stormy Daniels. Hmmm... I'm detecting a trend here... 🤔

Years ago I worked Planned Parenthood clinic defense with an older woman who traveled to Mexico as a teen, to get an "illicit" abortion. She was a firebrand, a feisty fireplug of a woman who'd be damned if she'd see that happen to women again. RIP, Natalie, you'd be appalled how far we've fallen.

The RNC voted in 2022 to pull out of the CPD and seek other debate partners. Biden team operated in that changed environment. It’s just odd to do a Norms check without mentioning that.

Incredible DC brain on display here. An EXTRAORDINARY break with Norms to ask for a different debate schedule. Is this Biden’s January 6??

‘“Shit, if only they’d have moved like that when my son was being murdered,” the father of a murdered Uvalde child tweeted above footage of Texas DPS officers in riot gear storming toward unarmed students at UT Austin.’

"These escalations against students are a choice. Police can be patient, even passive. The Texas DPS proved that when they loitered outside the ongoing slaughter of grade-schoolers." www.momleft.com/p/the-kids-t...

The Kids The Guns Are Forwww.momleft.com The same police force that failed Uvalde children is arresting peaceful student protesters at UT Austin. It's not about safety. It's about order.
