Democrats have flipped upwards of 30 seats this year.

Fascist republicans have flipped 0.

Let’s keep that going. 💙👊

People who believe many vote illegally should volunteer to work at a polling place. If you do that even once, you see what care is taken to make sure people who are voting are citizens, they are registered properly & they vote only once. There's check on top of check. Rs & Ds can send observers.

When Trump asks for something, anything, from his regime (including Congress Republicans), then you know he’s hiding something evil.

The #SAVE Act is hideous.

It’s estimated to STOP voting by upto 14%, mostly women.

Voting fraud is actually minimal. Would Trump lie about that?Absolutely yes.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Jared Kushner pledged to bring peace to the Middle East when all he really wanted was to bring a piece of the Middle East to Jared Kushner. #OpportunisticNepoBabyConMen

Wall art at Union Market in DC reads, “OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY.”

Look closer. Fallen soldiers’ names: Nicole Amor, Declan Coady, Noah Tietjens. Each marked, “DID NOT HAVE TO DIE.”

And at the bottom, the gut punch: “FIGHTING IRAN FOR THE EPSTEIN CLASS.”

Trump posted on his social media account about the people of Iran that "I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!”

This is the very same Trump who once listed protecting the people of Iran as one of his rationales for war.

I really don’t want to hear about how Democrats are projected to take control of the House and Senate.

We’ve been here before and look what happened.

I want to hear people telling folks to get out and vote to make it happen.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General?

First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Trump wants to seize Iran’s oil

Just how does he intend to do that if the IRGC closes the Strait of Hormuz and US Navy ships refuse to do anything about it

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

Let's make one thing clear. We have systems in place that prevent multiple votes being counted for a single candidate on your voting registration account.

If Trump was so obsessed over this he could have experts show the mechanisms of that one vote limit system.

But he doesn't. Trump = Scam
