While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."

Exclusive: In late 2024, FBI agents were looking at Sen. Susan Collins’ role in a massive illegal bribery scheme alleged by a former federal contractor. Then Trump gutted the FBI and DOJ, leaving no one to carry on the investigation – it’s dead. 🧵

This! Plus, plan your transportation. If you have a car, offer rides for friends, family or others w/o access to transport. If you live in a district that requires ID, make sure you have one that is up-to-date and be sure to take it with you when you vote. If you can, vote early. Make a plan & vote!

Shock gloves are torture devices. Period. They are being provided to a masked, overcompensated group of people who regularly use violence as a form of control. They've been created by a conspiracy theorist for the conspiracy theorists to use against Americans.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.
