I don’t care how good this looks. The polls don’t matter. We’re gonna fight every damn day until the election like we’re ten points down. Leave nothing to chance.

The first step in sincere unity is mocking your opponents with a childish nickname, everyone knows that.

Lake is the second speaker I've noticed so far (after Ron Johnson yesterday) to refer to the "Democrat Party"—an abbreviation some Republicans like to use to needle Democrats. #RNC

This section from @washingtonpost.com "The 5-Minute Fix" newsletter is such utter BS both-siderism. The headline suggests that Biden has engaged in using dehumanizing language - yet they failed to provide a single concrete example. This is how democracy dies - in toxic both-siderism 🗑️.

In the latest example of the RNC's big "unity" message, Kari Lake is on stage pointing to the "fake news" reporters in the stands and telling them "they lie about everything."

Today is a good day to talk about Project 2025.

Project 2025 is becoming the most searched term on Google, outperforming Taylor Swift.

Someone here likened Project 2025 to the DNC email hack of 2016 because they both involve the slow drip of bad news for the party and, while that’s true, Project 2025 is so much worse. Read it now before they wise up and take it down: www.project2025.org

why are Democrats so divisive, they need to calm down their rhetoric about Republicans also, "Bill to arrest librarians filed for 2025 session" www.alreporter.com/2024/07/10/b...

Bill to arrest librarians filed for 2025 sessionwww.alreporter.com A bill that could have led to the arrest of librarians narrowly missed becoming law last session, but sponsors have already filed a follow-up.

Welp, I sure hope they continue to detest him.

From the JD Vance (Senate) campaign website. JD Vance would ban every single woman (or girl) from receiving an abortion, no matter the circumstances by which she was impregnated or the danger to her health. Maybe (just maybe) if she risks imminent death.
