2016. Russia helps elect Trump. For the first time in US history, a hostile foreign power has an American ally in the WH. Eight years later, Republicans are helping Russia wage a genocidal war against European democracy. It is the greatest shift in America’s stance in world since 1776. A major US party has joined forces with a nuclear power waging war against democracy. If Republicans prevail in helping Russia, what it means to be an American will forever be changed. A shroud of shame will descend on the legacy of the Greatest Generation. They fought to liberate Europe. Republicans are fighting to enslave a European democracy — Stuart Stevens #quotes #quote #Russia #Putin #PutinGOP #PutinPuppets #RussianAssets #Trump #MikeJohnson #Republicans #Ukraine #uspolitics

To get on the #WI dem primary ballot, you need a certain # of signatures.

Phillips didn't get that. He wasn't going to be on the ballot. WI is next to #MN. I don't know if he even TRIED to get the signatures, but he went to the courts to force his way onto the ballot.

I hope he gets his spoilery arse spanked in WI, like he did in SC.

#Trump loves any #Dictator who’s installed themselves for Life. He considers them his Mentors. It’s what he aspires to — @the_resistor #quotes #quote #Putin #Xi #uspolitics

It's not hard to imagine aligned and emboldened perpetrators engage in #ethnicCleansing all over the world if #US is in the grips of #ChristoFascist #FarRight, with a malleable character like #Trump as its #DearLeader.

This is why US #Election2024 is a #WorldSecurity issue

Most GOP 'gotcha' media moments are. Look at Jim Jordan. All he does is manufacture 'gotcha' moments in his job, and they have no real substance.

House #GOP sending in a bill with aid for Israel but none for #Ukraine . I'd love to hear what principled stand they are pretending that's based on. Is it not threatened enough? They don't have a good enough plan? (*cough* where's the post-Gaza plan?) Russia is not our enemy? ... Do tell.

Because an outside observer might think they were amoral toddlers taking a stance solely for political gain, contrarianism, and because their nascent dictator is in thrall to Putin.

So Tucker Carlson is in Moscow. Some are speculating he's there to interview Putin.

But maybe he's there to get his latest instructions.

SNL platforming slavery defender Nikki Haley, whose joke is calling Joe Biden a dead person, is the most reckless thing they've done since platforming career criminal Donald Trump.

And we all saw how that worked out.

Your reminder that pretty much any right wing, fascist or nazi movement in Europe or the US right now can be traced back to Putin.

As I wrote six days ago, the DC Circuit’s delay is a failure to the nation. https://www.lawdork.com/p/affirmative-action-west-point-scotus

I don't know why #MAGA is so concerned about #TaylorSwift. She endorsed #Biden in 2020 and they all still think #Trump won, right?

Let them know that they can collect signatures to get abortion rights on the ballot in November, or just spread the word to their sun-soaked neighbors.

Just watched a video on Tiktok where someone was complaining about how hard it is to be a creator on all of the big social media apps because of their algorithms and how they all constantly change their formats.

I just commented, "Sitting in my lawn chair, sipping a cool drink, while I chuckle from the Fediverse."

GOP just passed a bill to deport the undocumented for DUIs. I don't drink, but this bill does not make us any safer.
•The national undocumented rate is 3.5% per State.
•MT, WY, & SC's rates are .5%, 1.1%, & 1.8%, respectively.
•MT, WY, & SC have the highest rate of drunk driving deaths.

Even the Cato Institute admits, undocumented immigrants "do not affect overall drunk driving deaths."

150 Democrats voted NO on this bill. My opponent Bill Foster voted Yes 🙄

Imagine making a CPAP machine that blows gas and foam particles into peoples lungs

…then giving the consolation of $100 for victims time returning the killer CPAP machines

…then offering a replacement that emits formaldehyde

…but still selling them to other countries, promising you won’t do so in the US because you’re totally sorry you killed people

Capitalism and medical care *do not mix*
