Ossoff: "I want everybody who is clipping this debate to roll that tape. You stood here right on this stage and you said 'a total ban, no exceptions, even for rape, even for incest, even to save the mother's life.' That was your position and now you are changing it."

Elon Musk has spent at least $276 million since July to boost Republican candidates, a record-breaking sum. That’s just 0.028% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

here's Bruce Blakeman tonight claiming "I never said that I would cut Medicaid in half" -- immediately followed by a clip of him saying on Fox Business in June that "we make sure we cut Medicaid in half"

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Troy Jackson: "Sen. Collins says that she voted against it 9 times, but she didn't have the votes. Well, that sounds like then we probably ought to have Democrats in charge of the Senate so we have the votes to stop this war and hold Donald Trump in check. It sounds like Republicans won't do that."

Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time
Screenshot of a statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reporting a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv targeting critical energy infrastructure, including the CHPP-4 power plant. Zelenskyy says a residential building was also damaged and caught fire, warns of further Russian missile attacks, and criticizes the lack of advance warnings from Ukraine’s partners. An accompanying nighttime photo shows flames engulfing part of a multistory residential building, with debris scattered across the ground.

Google searches for health disinformation plunged after Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers. How much “turbo cancer” & ivermectin nonsense is fueled by Russian bots, and how many Americans have they killed? Bots spread disinformation. Humans search for it. When bots go down, so do searches.

Walmart is the largest private employer in America, yet 16,055 of its employees were on Medicaid in just 6 states, and 15,515 were receiving food stamps in 9 states. Mostly red states. And those aren’t even national totals. #RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

The Trump administration ignored the court’s instructions again. Over 400 trees were chopped down at D.C.’s public East Potomac Golf Links over the holiday weekend without proper advance notice even after government lawyers promised the judge ample warning before any irreversible work.
