The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that when Donald Trump is accused of raping underage girls, Republicans only make excuses for him. But when Eric Swalwell is accused of raping grown women, Democrats say, “If that proves to be true, there is NO excuse for that.”

The president’s number one promise was to drive inflation down. Instead, he drove it up.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

“Democrats are trying to impose guardrails on how Trump’s fascist paramilitary force looks and operates, and how Trump can deploy his fascist paramilitary force, when the truth is that his fascist paramilitary force must be eliminated.” From First Draft: zeteo.com/p/reforming-...

Cowards are not worth your time. Never forget who caved to Trump. Gallup has been tracking presidential approval for eight decades.

I'm a Gallup pollster. You can contact them at galluppanel@gallupmail.com to let them know what you think of this.
	Is it true that Gallup plans to stop tracking approval ratings of political figures? Why? That's a terrible idea. It’s crucial for citizens in a democracy to have the ability to voice their opinions of the leaders they’ve elected and make those opinions known. As a longtime Gallup pollster, I’m ashamed that you’d even consider cutting off this important marker of American political feeling. Please reconsider.

	Thank you!

Gallup and its chair, Jim Clifton, have long postured as non-partisan, but this move is a distinctly partisan in this environment. Like so many other institutions, Gallup is destroying brand integrity in the service of fascism.

The chances of this passing the Senate (i.e., nuking legis. filibuster for it) are slim to none, they're pushing this more for the talking points to delegitimize their midterm loss. But this isn't just very bad policy. It's utterly impractical in the sense that it'd cause total unworkable chaos.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

If you condemn Russia’s ‘preventive’ attacks on Ukrainian cities, including hospitals & journalists, but don’t condemn Israel’s ‘preventive’ attacks on Iranian cities, including hospitals & journalists, then you’re not actually opposed to Russia’s attacks. You’re just a partisan.

Excellent point. Democrats dithered replacing an old president with a younger candidate, but the press is holding the entire party accountable. Republicans staged a violent coup against our government, one in which multiple office holders were openly complicit, and the press just shrugged it off.
