Trump & Republicans inherited an improving economy and drove it straight into a ditch. September: 29,000 jobs instead of the expected 90,000. Another 60,000 jobs vanished in revisions. Wages rose 0.1%; the worst in 5 years. They broke it. Make them own every ugly number at the ballot box.

What did we learn today? That Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clack fan and that Senator Eric Schmitt is a dirtbag! The senator mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury. Epic fail. I'm still a fan of Jack Smith. A real American patriot. 🇺🇸

As Michigan's next AG, Eli Savit will continue & expand the work done by AG Nessel to protect communities from data centers, their developers, & the monopoly utilities bullying their way into places that can least afford to stop them. A vote for Eli is one of the most important in your ballot.

President Pottymouth says all these salacious, shocking things to distract from his criminal past. It would be nice if the pundits didn't waste time reporting things he says, because he's not sincere about any of it...only in delaying justice and prolonging his time in office.

And there it is. The long slurry wind-up was just a lie-laden argument to press Congress to pass the largest voter suppression bill in history which it has repeatedly rejected—Dem & Repubs alike. The SAVE Act Stops All Voters Everywhere—exactly what Trump wants. www.naacpldf.org/case-issue/s...

What You Need to Know About the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote impost strict voter ID requirements for federal elections. Here is what you need to know about this harmful bill.
