Hey Brazil, those people telling you not to vote in the next round because "what's the point" "it's over" and other defeatist comments, that's a manipulation campaign orchestrated by foreign agents. Be smarter.

Cool, cool. Lots of reporting that theres a suspected pneumonic plague outbreak in Russia, and several hospitals are under forced quarantine. Obviously, it’s Russia, so accurate information is scarce.

Justice Alito is confusing court reform with attacking the court. Many of us simply want the Court to be better. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Supreme Court expansion is ‘a concerted effort to intimidate the court,' Justice Alito says
Despite Americans' eroding trust in the Supreme Court, Alito says he's not discussed growing calls for expanding the court and setting term limits.

Senior leaders at Customs and Border Protection were left out of the decision to use their agency’s funds for a national ad campaign featuring Trump. They found out from a news report. Trump isn’t smart enough to come up with this himself. Our guess? Stephen Miller.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Eric Schmitt is what happens when a state becomes so red that you don’t need to be a talented politician to become a US Senator. And to be fair, there are examples of this in blue states too. Iron sharpens iron.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
