❗ALERT❗ There are 3 congressional seats up for election (FL-1, FL-6, NY-21), 2 with voting starting in 3 weeks (links below). Media has been strangely silent on this 🤔 Congress is 218 R, 215 D. If we pick up 3 seats, we gain control of the House. A major step towards stopping Trump’s agenda

Absolutely nobody is on SS who shouldn't be. This is a long-time Republican talking point that single handedly radicalized members of my family well before trump 1.0. Anyway it's a big fat lie, just like the thing that spoke it. 😘
Trump on Social Security: "We have people that shouldn't be on, and those people we have to weed out. Most of them, or many of them so far, have been illegal immigrants."

Hello friends. Let’s start this morning off with a pep talk.
The overwhelm, confusion, and fear you’re feeling is what they want you to feel. They want you helpless, hopeless, and paralyzed. Do not take their intimidation and do not give them your joy.

This is not a payout or severance at all. The letter actually says you can just work from home until September 30 and that’s your last day of work if you accept this.

This man speaks in fantasy logic, eerily similar to the way my father spoke in the later stages of his dementia.
almost every single word that Sen. John Kennedy says about Dr. Fauci and covid in this clip is false. It's remarkable how Trumpers have concocted a completely fictional history of the pandemic.

Don't let those assholes take credit for this next week, because you know they're gonna try to rewrite history.
They won't get the credit they deserve, but President Biden and Secretary Blinken just saved countless lives reaching this ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas right before Trump comes in.
Yes, there will likely be future violence, but Trump now can't pour kerosene on this from Day One.
