These ordinances were never made to be enforceable. They are meant to sow confusion and to create fear and uncertainty, and keep people from talking to their neighbors and their family and friends when they need help.
Republicans & their enablers, esp. those at well funded institutions & think tanks, are furthering #TheBigLie by telling voters that the 2024 election is already 'rigged'🚨& aiding in #TFG's pres. campaign:
"The Heritage FND (Leonard Leo's) is already declaring the 2024 election rigged beyond repair."
-L Jedeed
"The Electoral College, malapportioned Senate, & gerrymandered House all give REPUBLICANS an advantage beyond their national support, not Democrats."
-S Wolf
#HouseRepublicans think nothing of abandoning their #oathOfOffice in service to their 34x #felon. It's not #Congress' job to "retaliate" against the #DepartmentOfJustice because members from one political party are angry that #FeloniousTrump was tried and convicted by a jury of his peers in a state court. But that's exactly what they're prepared to misappropriate public funds for.
At what point is this #sexualAssault facilitator and carnival barker going to do the job he was actually elected to do? #GymJordan is a perpetual #clown who brings shame to our #Congress everytime he opens his mouth. His boneheaded antics make a mockery of the nation's premier legislative body. 🤡
Share: Republicans in the House, esp. the Speaker, #MAGAMike, oppose Americans' safety net, financial gains & well-being, & legitimize corruption & #greedflation:
"The House GOP govt funding bill makes it harder to file your taxes, enables auto dealers to cheat consumers, raises credit card late fees, facilitates money laundering & tax evasion..."
-M Stoller
"Despite the Biden campaign ramping up its focus on Heritage’s “Project 2025” this year, fewer than one in four Americans say they’ve heard about it, according to new polling shared with Semafor this morning."
-S Talcott
MSM & SM aren't informing viewers & readers about the existential dangers of GOP presidency, esp. #Project2025 *Erosion of democratic norms, use of govt institutions to target pol opponents..., whether it's #TFG or someone else:
What the #OhioRepublicans are demanding isn’t “compromise,” but #extortion. Again, there is a clean bill ready to go in the state house, allowing #Biden’s name to be added to the #ballot. It’s a very simple matter to pass that bill, without any additional provisions. #Republicans are simply taking advantage of the situation in order to advance their own interests to the detriment of Ohio #voters.
Rs would brag about how the economy became good -moment they took charge -reap the pol spoils. Some WH aides want a message -empathy toward the economic plight of certain Americans. Dems could characterize the situation accurately -most prosperous period in our lifetimes +promise to help everyone share in the bounty. Biden/Dems can take pride in their accomplishments -not to be taken in by prophets of false doom.
Republicans can no longer lie about the US economy bc it's going gangbusters & Americans are feeling it:
"The US is growing above trend .. wages are growing faster than the rest of the inflation basket, so real disposable income is rising .. alongside this is a MASSIVE wealth effect from the stock market & the housing market .. &, all of this comes on top of healthy HH balance sheets. .. US consumption is more durable than the bears believe."
-Goldman Sachs
How did we reach this pt: ~1/2 of Americans think Rs are best trusted with our$ & nat. sec...?
1st imperative for any dictatorial regime is to seize control of the press. Hitler shut down all the opposition press & turned newspapers into propaganda outlets...
In HU Orbán destroyed the free press by changing libel & defamation laws *same way #TFG is today advocating, setting up libel lawsuits agst press outlets -had criticized him +bankrupting-.
I continue to believe that no one should want to be #vicePresident this badly, but just as notably, it’s unsettling to see a congressional "leader" engage in such tactics. We are talking about an episodic campaign in which #EliseStefanik is targeting those who are engaged in administering #justice — not because they’ve done anything wrong, but because they might play a role in holding one of her #partisan allies accountable.
🔕: Surge in migrant “encounters” at the border *a way for the agency to request a⬆️enforcement budget.
An “encounter” is any person who's Q'ed by agents, or anyone whose doc is run thru the system. The aver. BP agent apprehends 6-7 ppl/mo. *suspect has a criminal record... not an everyday occurrence for maj. of agents. Apprehensions⬇️over time,⬇️83% from 1990’s to just 21/agent.
Rs are broadcasting their sinister plans. MSM isn't sounding the alarm:
Evidence is everywhere: the right is planning to end representative govt if it fails to legitimately return #TFG to the WH -clear a few months after #J6 that the RW propaganda apparatus was laying the groundwork to try again in 2024. #FoxNews & #MAGAMedia spent the weeks after the 2020 election fabricating & amplifying election fraud lies... to institutionalize TFG's #TheBigLie.
#RWMedia, & most of MSM #media, have helped poison the brains of voters. The outlets have bashed Pres Biden, eclipsing what they did to HRC, while giving #TFG & Republicans undue credit:
"That’s right: A flat majority says that economic conditions in our country are “poor.” Even though they simultaneously say that their own lives are going pretty well."
"Majorities know little or nothing about the Biden admin's INFRA bill, CHIPS act, ARP & IRA. While 40% of respondents said Biden has done more than Trump on INFRA, 37% said Trump had done more.
It's largely a media problem, large chunk is Fox News & Sinclair, their local affiliate, RW radio... If Biden did anything good, they won't hear it, but they'll hear lies, or gross distortions of the truth-."
Another day, another effort by #Republicans to cast themselves as the ultimate #victims. Nothing matters to these people but their own sense of #entitlement.
#MAGAMike parrots his mentor's xenophobic rhetoric & says he'll help #TFG round up undocumented immigrants & deport ppl who've paid taxes & contributed to their communities & the workforce for years, sometimes, decades:
"Less than 24 hours after Democrats saved his job, Speaker Johnson vows to ‘round Up’ 11 million undocumented people, & likely deport them."
Rep Scott Perry said in a closed door briefing with lawmakers on Tues that the KKK is the “the military wing of the Dem party” & that migrants coming to the US “have no interest in being Americans,” acc to audio of Perry’s comments.
Perry has repeated elements of the anti-immigrant & antisemitic replacement theory before, said this during the House Oversight CMTE's member briefing.
We need to amplify Republican's deceit, their plan to further cut taxes will be so costly, that the social safety net will be eliminated:
"Within this new document from the Congressional Budget Office, you can see that Trump’s current plan to extend every expiring tax break in his 2017 tax law would cost $4.6 trillion — with trillions of that going exclusively to very wealthy households."
-Bharat Ramamurti
"Top NYT Editor Offers Stunning Defense of Coverage of Trump."
"The failure to clearly describe Trump's plan to cancel prosecutions of himself & other elements of his legal strategy as threats to the system itself, that is, as efforts to put himself above the law."
How does this dude not get punched in the face every time he steps out of his house? He's claiming that "lots" of #undocumentedImmigrants are #voting in #federalElections, despite the fact that it's already illegal for them to vote. And his evidence for this massive #fraud is that there's no evidence. If you or I said something like this at work we'd be fired for incompetence.
The biggest GOP donors in America—Dick & Liz Uihlein—are targeting Tammy Baldwin. Their Super PAC is spending millions on a blatantly dishonest ad that'd to be recut due to inaccuracy🚨.
An ad declaring that Sen Baldwin voted to "cut MDCR funding & use that$ to subsidize EVs" was pulled & replaced with a new ad: Baldwin voted "to use MDCR$ for EV subsidies, instead of seniors."
Support Sen Baldwin & the other vulnerable Dem Senators & candidates.
How could anyone seriously consider voting for the #Republicans? They've proven time and time again that they're gleefully willing to sacrifice the best interests of the American people for the sake of sticking it to #JoeBiden. A cure for cancer? Naaaa... It's more important to kick dirt on the President.
