Key words: “glaring example of corruption”

In a glaring example of corruption, Trump commutes the 3-year sentence for Roger Stone, his loyal dirty-trickster who was convicted of obstruction, lying and threatening witnesses in connection with Wikileaks targeting the Clinton campaign to help Trump win in 2016. www.justice.gov/pardon/page/...

In a weird way, SCOTUS did the Biden campaign a big favor, because everyone knows the stakes now and no one should give a flying fuck about whether Biden spaces out every now and then. The alternative has become unimaginably bad.

“We could ban the guns.” “Nah, let’s turn 8 year olds into amateur EMTs.”

“Chances are, you’re never ever going to have to use this. If you do, it’s gonna be scary,” trauma nurse Kate Carleton told the 8- and 9-year-olds. “But because we’ve taught you what to do, it makes it a little less scary.”

Four years ago today, Trump still hadn't figured out that covid is caused by a virus, not by testing 👇 We are much better off today.

This does not sound good.

A power failure shut down all train service along the Northeast Corridor between Philadelphia and New Haven, Connecticut, on Thursday afternoon, threatening to create a chaotic evening commute on one of the hottest days of the year.

Go through this thread. Remember what an upside down clownworld it was. I’ve blocked out so much of those years. All respect to BTS’s ARMY.

June 20, 2020 Donald Trump holds his first big rally since March, aiming to restart his lagging campaign with a supercharged crowd. It does not go as planned. A memorable debacle on several levels, it will mark the lowest point of his 2020 campaign.

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for the rich, which would add $4.6T to the deficit. But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would result in the 100 biggest corporations receiving a giveaway of $48B annually. It's clear who he works for.

I no longer feel our SCOTUS is able to be fair and unbiased. Our country must pass major reform to move forward from this. #Resign

Harlan Crow and other GOP megadonors have provided Clarence Thomas with gifts valued at over $4 million. They include... -38 destination vacations -26 private jet flights -6 helicopter flights -Yacht voyages Still wondering why SCOTUS approval ratings have hit record lows?

Banning medical debt from credit reports. Cracking down on junk fees. Banning non-competes. Capping credit card fees. Negotiating drug prices. Expanding OT pay. These Biden policies don't make headlines, but this is what it looks like when government works for the people.

Please vote wisely in November!

So very tired of the lies about January 6. I would like the convicted felon to stop his nonsense. We all saw it. Those people are not warriors. They are traitors. Those that helped the insurrection must be removed from office. #VoteBlue

Joe Biden pulled off perhaps the greatest oil trade of all time and in the process broke OPEC's grip and basically no one knows about it. We did a long segment on it last night and it's fascinating and worth your time. www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch...

Clarence Thomas once again challenges the notion that #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw. I don't know about you, but I am sick of this. If you have 5 minutes, give your Rep a Call using the script below (credit to Jess Craven!!) and demand action NOW. Details on Reddit: t.co/yZnlHwcc2G

Two SCOTUS judges need to resign now. Obviously they have been compromised.

The best way to honor the heroes of D-Day is to make sure we destroy fascism once and for all. The easiest way to do that is by voting every single Republican out of office. The GOP is a total disgrace. It’s infested with morons, zealots, and traitors. Vote Blue.

Vote them out.

All nine Republican senators running for reelection this year just voted against the right to contraception: John Barrasso Marsha Blackburn Kevin Cramer Ted Cruz Deb Fischer Josh Hawley Pete Ricketts Rick Scott Roger Wicker So much for the party of "freedom."

Could someone please stop these people from destroying our country?

Speaker Johnson is adding Scott Perry to the House Intel Committee. Perry sought a pardon for his key role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. People who try to overthrow the U.S gov't don't belong in the House, let alone on the Intel Committee.

“A new low”, Speaker Johnson, was when an American presidential candidate covered up a story that promised to reinforce voters’ opinion about that candidate. #VoteBlue

Biden asked Congress to pass the #BipartisanBorderBill. It was way more comprehensive, but MAGA killed it because Trump said to. As TFG & his sycophants pushed anti-immigrant rhetoric, Biden decided not to play their stupid game & moved forward decisively with an executive order. #BidenHarris4More

Ahead of new protests expected in DC after 9 days of nationwide demonstrations over the police murder of George Floyd, massive new fortifications of chain link and concrete go up around the White House to protect the president. His foes continue to mock him for hiding in a bunker a few days earlier.

I’m taking a minute to watch today’s Meet the Press. Not sure how much more Tom Cotton I can take. Egad.

June 1, 2020 In one of the most notorious days of the Trump presidency, police suddenly advanced on peaceful protesters in Lafayette Park across from the White House, clearing them away with batons, flash-bangs and tear gas. Trump then strode through the park and held up a bible for photographers.
