Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Why is nobody speaking out against the🍊💩s campaign rally at Fort”Bragg”.Telling the cheering(?)troops to vote GOP and having a repug senate candidate up there with him is crossing another line. Our military is not his political tool to wield. They have a duty to Country and Constitution, not Fatass.

So, we are just going to *allow* Kushner to serve in this administration though no one voted for him. Not us.
Not the Senate.

And we’re not protesting this.
This sends a confirmation to the world of our weakness on the world stage.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

States certify their own elections.
Mail in voting is still legal.
Any chance to Election Clause of the Constitution requires 2/3 of both House and Senate and 3/4 of States to amend the Constitution....that ain't happening.

Here's a thought. How about we wipe ICE out of the budget and shuffle that money into arresting the people in the Epsfein files. If ICE can arrest US citizens, we can forego that whole "statute of limitations" bullshit.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings.

Since the start of Trump’s second term, the number of children in ICE detention has increased sixfold.
In their letters, kids held at the Dilley center told us about missing their friends, being unable to go to school and feeling trapped.
