🧵Let's look at the timeline. The 2000 Florida recount changed the entire trajectory of America. It opened the door for hyper-partisan trifectas to start stripping away state rights and weaponizing the system, deciding who is "worthy" of having their voice heard. 1/5

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

I have never underestimated Trump’s lying, or his ability to spew bullshit. But he has in fact lost substantial control of his mind. And his ability to distinguish truth from lies—which was never really strong or important to him—is, at this point, de minimis.

Beyond the fact that it’s incredibly illegal and corrupt to use taxpayer dollars to run political ads on television, there’s another problem with re-running old ads like this: the messaging only reminds everyone what a fraud you are.
Black-and-white image of Donald Trump standing in a hallway from a recent ad he ran on TV with taxpayer funds. White subtitle text on a black bar at the bottom displays what Trump’s voiceover says in the ad: “we will expel the warmongers from our government.”

The ruling held that Trump's effort to get rid of birthright citizenship was unconstitutional. President Donald Trump attempted to attack birthright citizenship. We defeated him in court, proving his efforts were unconstitutional.
