If you're door knocking for Democrats, have your device LOADED UP with Republicans telling you what they're going to do if they win.
For example: "Did you know Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare?"
#WhatRepublicansWant
is for you to die broke.
Hit play:

Maybe she has cancer.
May she's immunocompromised.
Maybe she's taking care of somebody who's either of those.
You don't know.
Here's what I do know.
You're heartless.
Hey there, Ted! Since your intern took the time to crank this out, I figured I'd share some points with you.
These are things you know but, what the heck.
/1
Wait.
So... the evangelicals get taken off the planet during the rapture leaving the rest of us here?
To live our lives?
Without them?
And this is somehow... BAD?
Take this tower from the bankrupt company that abandoned it.
Make it a homeless shelter.
Add a grocery store loaded with SNAP eligible foods.
Add dorms. A kitchen on every floor.
A health clinic. Mental health care.
This is a chance to help people.
Taylor Swift is a billionaire you dope.
if she wanted to buy a volleyball court for a college she could do it with pocket change instead of ripping off tax payers.
Let people enjoy life, Brett.
If there’s one thing Liz Cheney’s defeat has shown us it’s this: Andrew Yang’s Forward Party is a lie.
There are no “moderate Republicans” anymore.
Remember: Cheney voted with Trump 93% of the time, but drew the line at treason.
And Wyoming Republicans trounced her for it.

so you admit you're the *ssholes that picked America's pockets by unreasonably and arbitrarily raising gas prices and keeping them that way for as long as possible?
Thanks for the clarification.
Canon had announced on Facebook in November that her employer granted her a religious exemption for the COVID-19 vaccine.
“No jabby-jabby for me! Praise GOD!” she wrote at the time.
Supply Chain:
Hey! Here's something you know about! Remember when your pal Greg Abbott shut down the border?
There's a bunch of stuff on it, but I liked this link showing his buffoonery wasted $240 million dollars in food. /5
Inflation:
It's global. Maybe if it was just America, this might have some merit but look at the predictions for upcoming inflation and where we're at.
I also added a little explainer about what drives global inflation from Forbes, for your intern to read and you to ignore. /2
Gas Prices:
Not a very fun story. It's high here but it's higher in a lot of places. Texas is around 3.30 right now, but I also added another place near and dear to you: Mexico. It's higher there. So, you might want to gas up in Texas before you blow dodge during a crisis. /3
Okay, that took a while but I think it was worth it. Hell, I didn't even take any gratuitous cheap shots which, honestly, I feel has earned me that pretzel.
Catch you on the flippity,
#Wolverpeen
Finally, Ukraine:
Do you root for the empire in Star Wars? For the Red Skull in Captain America? I mean Putin? Really?
We've strengthened NATO, pushed back Russia, and we are on the side of good guys.
Get off Putin's lap. Exactly what does he have on you?
/11
Border:
I don't have an answer to this. Nor do you. But shuttling migrants around like props is gross.
You cry "Caravan" when you need a distraction so it's hard to take you seriously. But a wall that collapses in a year isn't the answer.
Stunts and hysteria aren't solutions.
/7
Baby Formula Shortage:
First, there was a recall.
Second, the pandemic didn't help.
But then there was Trump making it impossible to get it from Canada. So... point the finger at a mirror if you're looking to point it at a someone.
/8
Afghanistan:
Hi! I'm back! Returned with my dogs, a wallet and a soft pretzel. Also, remembered that the withdrawal was on Trump's time table and he negotiated the release of 5000 taliban fighters while reducing forces.
So, uh... your point again?
/10
Also, because I know you care, here are a few other things causing it. President Biden did help stave off a rail worker strike that might not hold, but there's lots of reasons the supply chain is teetering. This was in USA Today.
Maybe you read it. It has pretty colors.
/6
Gas shortages:
Uh... where? Please. Have your intern answer this one. I've been in five states this week and have had no problems getting gas.
But I did look and, it seems to be a problem... elsewhere.
That Forbes snippet had some thoughts on it, BTW.
Moving on... /4
Conservatives saw Lizzo play James Madison’s flute and lost their minds.
Conservatives saw a black woman joyfully dance in the White House halls and lost their minds.
Conservatives saw a black president and his wonderful family and lost their minds.
It’s not about the dance.
Well, it’s the second anniversary of the Jan 6th insurrection.
No need for traitors to storm the capitol today to interfere with the workings of government.
They’ll be in their seats, free from repercussion, doing it on the tax payer dime.

You linked a Pelosi conspiracy theory to a Hillary Clinton tweet from a disinformation site.
The use of the N word skyrocketed.
Why would the Keebler Elves or Coca Cola Polar Bears want to be screen-capped next to that?
You literally build rockets.
The above isn’t rocket science.
Well, if Liz Cheney is truly gone, imagine how much damage she can do to Trump between now and the next congressional term.
Hell hath no fury like a Cheney scorned.
When asked if he wanted a GoFundMe, he said yes.. but only for his "Library Afro Revolution" which will gift books to library kids to make them feel seen and encourage the necessity of literacy."
So, that's what we're going to help him do. :)
You're going to find Trump leaked secrets that led to this attack.
To find Tommy Tuberville crippled our military to be able to respond.
You know how I know?
MAGA is already trying to blame Biden and lying through their teeth, gums and asses to cover their culpability.
You've seen the story about
@mychal3ts
- the kid who loved libraries so much he became a librarian.
You've also seen how he's risen above the negativity of twitter and continues to shine kindness.
With his permission and involvement:
A 16-year-old Oklahoma high school student endured a vicious beating in a high school bathroom and died the next day. But MAGA neckbeard
@SuptRyanWalters
doesn't care because the student identifies as non-binary. He probably gave the killers extra credit.
This person is garbage.
Thank Missouri Republicans for this.
Missouri is a guns everywhere state, which includes the
#ChiefsParade
Thank
@HawleyMO
who got $1,391,548 from the NRA.
@SenEricSchmitt
who is already angling for their money.
Their house representatives as well.
Republican policies kill.
Wisconsin shouldn’t be close.
Ohio shouldn’t be close.
Georgia shouldn’t be close.
Dems need to bring out the sharpest knives, the longest blades and lock these Gov and Sen races down.
We have qualified, sane, candidates who believe in democracy and representation.
FIGHT.

I, a mom & grandmother with no criminal history, have lived like this since
#j6
. The box on my ankle holding me INSIDE the house, unable to live. In 13 days the government will force me to endure a 51 month sentence because the last 3 years of confinement means nothing.
Hi. Let's talk about "Socially Liberal, Fiscally conservative" because they're out there, justifying their vote for Republicans but still pretending to be good guys. This is false.
/1
I appreciate Liz Cheney’s attempts to expose and halt this ongoing coup. But coast to coast, in cities and counties big and small… Republicans have picked a side and it’s fascism. Minority rule. Win no matter how many lies told, rules broken, damage done or people dead. /3
Questions for
#KetanjiBrownJackson
“With what you know, what punishment would Matt Gaetz receive if the case reached you?”
“Was the sentencing of Lauren Boebert’s husband appropriate?”
“What would the ramifications of Gym Jordan’s actions were he not a white male Republican?”
And here comes Yang, peddling a false coalition, which will do nothing but clear a path for the worst America has to offer. He knows this. So do Republicans. It’s more important that the left understand this. Because every vote he takes, is one the lunatic right gains. /4
@notcapnamerica
Has she killed any endangered animals for fun?
Siphoned money from a cancer charity?
Got $2B from a foreign regime for nothing?
No?
The STFU with this.
If your religion tells you to withhold lifesaving drugs from people, maybe your religion sucks.
But more likely, you’re using religion to hurt people because YOU suck.
Today was... hard.
A terrible person perverted justice again.
If you're like me, you want repercussions.
If you're like me, you're exhausted waiting for it.
If you're like me, you're concerned about the future.
if you're like me, you're not alone.
See you tomorrow. ✌️⚖️
Her votes are nearly identical to Boebert, MTG, Jordan and every other screeching right-wing loon. She’s simply in a more respectable package.
A package that won’t move Republicans.
But it sure could siphon independents.
Maybe enough to sway an election.
To Republicans.

It’s my mom’s birthday today.
She turned 87.
She’s still sharp, excited about life and being vaxxed and boosted, has dodged COVID.
So… Thank you science. Thank you Dr. Fauci.
Thank you
@potus
for taking it seriously.
She’s 87 today. And she’s still here.
It’s a good day.
Hey, Pearl clutching journalists.
Here’s the other side your ridiculous “both sides.”
But thank God, at least there wasn’t a marine in there.
Tell me again how President Biden was wrong.
Ginni Thomas story not being treated as big deal on cable news.
16 mentions total today on CNN.
during recent inflation hysteria CNN was mentioning "gas" 50-100 days a day
Yusuf Salaam was exonerated after being unjustly imprisoned.
Yusuf Salaam was paid almost $8 million in damages.
Yusuf Salaam should sue Charlie Kirk into oblivion.
Still:
#ThankYouLizCheney
for drawing a line at treason. But also, for pulling back the curtain on who the threats to democracy are.
It’s Trump. It’s MAGA. It’s Alt-Right.
You know, Republicans.
And it’s people like Yang who are happily and knowingly enabling them. /X
Every one of you reading this has a choice: Vote for someone who will add to a Democratic majority or let your local autocrat win. Wyoming showed us what the majority of Republicans want.
So… No distractions.
Stay focused.
Stay determined.
And don’t buy the BS. /7
Every parent should be forced to attend "shooter drills" at their kid's school.
So they understand the pressures being put on their children.
Even playing out the fantasy that cops, or any other "Good guy with a gun" will save the day...
...bet their attitude changes.
