Four nationwide changes we need to improve the integrity, stability & credibility of our democratic process: -Ranked Choice Voting -Open primaries -Abolish the electoral college, POTUS elections decided by popular vote -Outlaw & eliminate partisan gerrymandering at every level
A 3-judge panel rejected the maps for Congressional districts drawn by Alabama's GOP-led legislature in violation of a SCOTUS ruling under the Voting Rights Act & has appointed a special master to draw a new map. https://t.co/I7JwIPosEB

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake. The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

Stephen Miller is one weird dude. Definitely a fascist, but also straight up just not properly socialized on any normal level.
Stephen Miller: “Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Obama, Monaco all conspired together…to sabotage the democratic institutions of this country. I cannot find words harsh enough to condemn the conduct of these conspirators, these insurrectionists.”

50-year mortgages are insane and only a corrupt government that has no intention of actually doing anything about the housing crisis, like ya know, building a bunch of new housing, would think this is a great idea. We must deal with NIMBY, zoning laws, and private equity firms.
@MeidasTouch How can the rich bleed more money from the poor? Offer 50-year mortgages. $400k mortgage at 6% over 30 years, you'll spend $863,352.76 to payoff the loan. $400k mortgage at 6% over 50 years, you'll spend $1,263,371.51 to payoff the loan.

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages. Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

Trump says we are preparing to invade Nigeria. Apparently that’s what voters said they wanted in the exit polls. Trump: “We’re going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria’s not gonna be happy about. Guns-a-blazin!”

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

@PressSec Dude, Utah, the reddest of redliest states, uses universal mail-in. It's at LOWER risk of fraud. AND has lower fraud rates. Instead of just showing up with a fake ID, people have to break into other people's mail AND hope they don't notice their ballot missing. Dumb.

Maga, you are wrong. It doesn’t matter what we are talking about. It really doesn’t. You are misinformed equally on all subjects. Because you are ignorant and easily manipulated. We have proven this.

Awesome… Now, do this in every election and not just the ones where the country is on proverbial fire.
Voting centers in blue areas are reportedly seeing higher turnout than presidential election years as Democrats flood the polls to stand up to Trump.

The U.S. government has now been shut down for 35 days, tying the record for the longest shutdown in history which was set in 2018-2019. Donald Trump was president during both shutdowns.

“That’s right bitches, now go crawling back to Turbo Tax and forget that we were ever on the side of the little guy.” MAGA!
👀 Scoop: IRS Direct File, the free government-backed program that let you file your taxes for free, is dead. IRS wrote to state tax agencies saying it would not be operational this coming tax season, per records I've obtained. IRS Direct File: 2023-2025.

Here's a Republican in Congress admitting THERE IS NO REPUBLICAN HEALTH CARE PLAN.
Greene: “I shouldn't have to go into a SCIF to go find our Republican health insurance plan.” Hostin: “There is no plan.” Greene: "That I believe is the truth.”

Millions of Americans, including 1.4 million North Carolinians, rely on SNAP benefits to put food on the table. I’ll continue to do everything in my power to keep families fed, but the Administration needs to release these critical funds.

This coming from the man who’s literally pushing red states to gerrymander Democrats into oblivion so he doesn’t get demolished at midterms. Prop 50 is merely self-defense.

Congrats to @andrewcuomo for landing this key endorsement from Stephen Miller.
Stephen Miller: The Anti-Mamdani vote which is really the pro-NYC vote, the pro-America vote needs to unite behind a leading candidate and that’s Andrew Cuomo.
