Senate Republicans don’t even know the difference between college basketball and the NBA. Their questioning of a respected prosecutor today only shows their desperation and their need to change the subject from their painful lack of accomplishments for the American people..

background music in Trump’s illegal, taxpayer funded ads contain the words “love me, love me”.If I had done that in my ads my family would’ve taken me to the nearest mental health facility.

Trump Claiming his clear political Ad is a PSA..(public service announcement) Ridiculous ! It’s really a public disservice ! PSA’s are something like..” be sure you get vaccinated for measles” not egotistical bragging about the orange man.

There’s no way it’s legal for Trump to use taxpayer dollars for campaign ads. Trump’s gutting everything that helps us…from healthcare to education to food safety etc. But he uses our money to tell us how wonderful he is? This is impeachable but more important now: using this in our Blue wave!

Good question Fred.Except for a pitiful few, those Republicans in Congress are either impotent, frightened souls or corrupt. When history is written, they will be remembered as breaking their oath to the constitution and America. They deserve to be voted out of office in a landslide.

Put check on a president who worships communist leaders; put check on a president who is trashing economy; put check on a president who threatens free press & voting; put check on a president who divides us. And put a large check on his elected followers, who lack conviction and courage. Vote!

Trump trying to make election about how Democrats love communists. But the only one hosting the biggest most powerful communist is Donald Trump himself and he says they have an absolutely great relationship. Dumb. That’s D U M with a B And that stands for Betrayal…of freedom, democracy & USA.

AttN America :when you pay back a bribe after you get caught,it’s still a bribe. & when it comes from a dear friend of Russian, former KGB..er, it’s great cause for concern, & when reports say this briber is involved in kidnapping children from Ukraine, it becomes a 5 alarm fire!

The worst of the worst? For ICE that means shooting a 28 year old Door Dash driver who has a zero criminal record. After they shoot him and hurt him badly he gets terrible care because ICE stands for Incompetent Criminal Enterprise. Outrage for all of us including all Latino voters. November 3.

Horrible Idea…making the stupid TRUMP Arc to whatever a Storage place for weapons. How much security will we have to have around that monstrosity? It’s a nightmare every day. November 3 and a clear decision to stop this waste of tax dollars.

GOP Speaker right. His Congress is “unmatched in history”. They’re the most unproductive Congress & did more than any Congress to hurt us. Note: historic healthcare cuts, historic abdication of war powers, historic vacations, historic abdicationto a would be king. We need historic turnout in Nov.

Hands off the Kennedy center. It’s a living memorial It’s an iconic building It has a beautiful history It has as much to do with Trump as Trump has to do with freedom, democracy,and our constitution. And that would be NOTHING

Repub Speaker picks up his blankey & sends 435 Congresspeople home while troops are in harms way,AI leaders warn of imminent threats to humanity, costs are out of control and president is so obsessed that he’s taking a wrecking ball to the constitution & anything that doesn’t have his name on it.

So much madness from Trump regime: an AG who gets pleasure from sweating journalists & is fine with a President who attacks the court; an FBI director who gets all compassionate about bestiality but has no concern about Russian Putin pal paying for Junior’s wedding. November please.

Ok a Joke about the Supreme Court decision on vote by mail: Not quite “the magnificent seven“ but the Postal Service lives on to deliver mail not to sabotage it.  Yes I know ..for The Moment But this decision gets My stamp of Approval .

Yes! The Trump family relationship to Russia is still not being fully told in my view. Their ties threaten our country & the free world. I will never forget being completely taken aback when Trump sons stated before Trump’s first election that they had deep deep Russian Financial ties.

Latest delusional lie: Blaming Ukraine for gas prices. Ignoring Trump‘s Middle East war and its terrible impact. And what happened to promise to end Ukraine war ( on day one no less) And stop attacking the country that is simply defending itself against your buddy …communist KGB guy.

Never saw special interest or business asking FOR regulation. So when AI leaders raise warning flags to life itself, you would think Republicans like Mike Johnson would cancel recess to work on this threat to humanity. Hard to find words to describe his laziness & hostility to humanity. November!

to JD Vance: no we don’t call you a racist “ for noticing our country was becoming dirtier”. We call you a racist for your policies in the workplace, in the Voting booth and disgusting, masked men targeting people of color. But your comment proves our point. And wasn’t that your point?

It takes far more than $5000 to make Americans whole for vicious policies depriving them Of healthcare,fair trade, gas for cars, education & jobs for their kids, peace in the world. We fix that by canceling billionaire Tax cuts and ending war. Vote! More Than Five Thousand Dollars to make

four times now Trump’s promised Americans checks from “his“ government. He never did the other three. His deficit soaring “promise” is bribery, and it falls far short of what Democrats will do to cancel war & billionairetax breaks to lower the cost of living across the board for Americans.

Best advice from Donald Trump: make believe he’s on the ballot. Yes! Amazing! Pretend he’s on the ballot (because he really is)and vote against him and his cowardly cult at every opportunity.

I never thought it was possible that any American president would ever make the tragedy of 9/11 about themselves. This one has done that, adding yet another reason to make this election about checking a clinical narcissistic individual with no sense of history, empathy, or human decency.

Trump‘s racism has to be called out now! He says who cares about trade with Mexico. We only import “tomatoes “& “hot tamales”.Well, we actually import vehicles, computers, electric machinery. Latino voters must come out roaring against Republicans & this doesn’t even mention masked secret police.

Without the clear, dynamic leadership of Gloria Steinem, women’s rights would be in a dustbin. She refused to be silenced or sidelined and i thank her. Her writings directly affected my decision to run for office. And so many others. Rest in Peace.

Hands off Yosemite. If you have had the good fortune to see it for yourself you know what perfection is. If you haven’t seen it I hope you can put it on your list but until that time, trust me. None of us should support Trumps plan to mess with Paradise as favor to a pal.

Republicans try to stop Voting by mail while they reduce the number of Polling places! They support making voting hard for married women, minorities & students. What a scared bunch of cowards. The more they tell us no the more we say yes to Voting in unprecedented numbers.

20% of Trump’s picks for Governor nominations lost. A respected female Meet the press star, Kristen Welker, states a fact in evidence: Trump has mixed record on his endorsements.  So Trump reports her to his regime’s “speech police”. Trump says he’s not on the ballot in November… Oh, he is !

Trump‘s not a builder.D in Donald stands for “destroyer”. He destroyed east wing of White House, the reflecting Pool, Kennedy Center, dozens of mature trees on a golf course,healthcare, fair trade, affordability,USAID, alliances,oil shipments, decency, truth and ethical behavior. Much more.

When I was chair of Sen. environment committee in 2007, we had a panel of experts on climate change. Every single thing they said about extreme weather is coming true. I so regret falling a few votes short of addressing this issue by simply putting a price on carbon. Big Oil won, the world Lost.

Trump finally showed compassion… Really strong Compassion… For….Argentina! Turning his back on our own ranchers, he is supporting massive purchases of Argentinian beef(which has a bad safety record) because their country is “dying”and he likes the leader who is called a “wannabe fascist”.

If there’s a workplace employee obsessed with someone, that’s not healthy or good for the individual or theorganization. The issue should go to the HR Dept. If the workplace Is the people’s house then the issue should be dealt with swiftly for the good of the country.

Psychiatrists: why does Trump go on about shape of flagpoles. In the past he called his flagpoles “magnificent”. Yesterday he bragged he’s “very good a flagpoles”. He loves their “taper”. Plus, he did a full-blown advertisement for a grass company. Ugh. it’s not like there’s nothing on his plate!

Mr. Rice: could not disagree more re North Korea. People there suffer under brutal dictator, & they have nukes. The people are monitored every second. They have no rights and average wages are $111 a month. Yup! Trump loves their rich nutty dictator who steals all the wealth. Quite a role model.

North Korea is a dangerous enemy to the United States of America and if Donald Trump doesn’t see it, he is either in cahoots with their dictator or demented. Either way, November can’t come soon enough.

Trump’s working to suppress votes from the elderly by threatening nurses in nursing homes with “fraud” if they help seniors vote. He’s turning the Golden vote years into the Stolen vote years. Let’s hope these residents have the largest voter turnout ever! Don’t mess with grandma and grandpa!

For some reason ,the image of Trump cowering in a catering truck will not leave my mind. I don’t know if he was scared or happy to be surrounded by snacks. I’m sure he wasn’t worried about those on the decoy plane that could’ve been a target. After all, he was just following orders!
