Text Defend to 36787 to join Obama and Holder’s movement

National Democratic Redistricting Committee @democraticredistricting.com · Aug 27

Threats to arrest elected lawmakers. A White House urging states to silence voters. Attempts to undermine our rights.

I’d say “eat the rich” but they probably taste like ketamine and microplastics

🧵 Veterans, like everyone else, are being hurt by this reckless shutdown. VA hospitals stay open, but GI Bill payments are stalled, casework is ignored, and thousands of veteran federal workers are missing paychecks. Our heroes deserve stability and respect, not to be used as a means of leverage.

The big problem with trying to convince Sliwa to drop out so that Cuomo can win is that Sliwa wants Cuomo to lose.

Curtis Sliwa says he would rather be fatally tortured than drop out of the NYC mayoral race and work for Andrew Cuomo.

Russia launched a Yars intercontinental ballistic missile toward a test site in Kamchatka - essentially in the direction of the United States.

In the Barents Sea, the nuclear-powered submarine Bryansk launched a Sineva ballistic missile.

Putin's peace and peaceful intentions.

AZ AG Mayes: We have people in Arizona who are being actively harmed by Mike Johnson playing politics and apparently trying to protect the Epstein files. That’s not okay. We’re going to fight as hard as we can to put an end to it and to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in.

Johnson on Grijalva: "There's a lot of important case work to be done by her constituents who need help and guidance, & she could be on the phone all day as the rest of us are trying to help her constituents navigate through it. Maybe the House Democrat leaders need to give her a little guidance."

Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly on CNN: "We have many ideas on how to bring down the cost of healthcare, to continue to do that, and we've already demonstrated it in the working families tax cut. We had real reforms to Medicaid that have brought down the cost and saved about $185b for taxpayers."

Mike Johnson has't made me want to be his kind of Christian, but he has made me believe in the concept of evil.
