Ex-Trump White House officials, dozens of Republicans endorse Harris

Kamala Harris has surged in polls since President Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed her in July.

Whenever I listen to the problems Trump has caused, I think back at conversation I had with a US voter at a dinner party in 2016.

Considering him an intelligent person, I asked him how Trump could have so much success, when it was so obvious that he was a conman.

Even this intelligent being before me replied, "Well maybe Trump has a lot to offer. After all, he is a skilled businessman."

It was at that moment I realized, how many voters had paid zero attention, and how dangerous that was.

Casually pushing the idea of overturning government to 192.7 million followers.

Friends don't let friends buy the fascist car.

@TonyStark I am just so sick of this traitor. And the people supporting him need serious mental health assistance. We were driving through a rural, mostly poor area of southern Indiana this morning and had to put my hand over my mouth. In the middle of this area was a “Trump MAGA Superstore”. Grifting the poor barely able to put food on the table. 🤬😢

On January 8, Ukrainian soldier and beloved poet Maksym Kryvtsov was killed by the Russian invaders.

Maksym was one of the hundreds of Ukrainians who die every week, while Republican Speaker Mike Johnson is holding back the aid to Ukraine.

We can no longer wake up Maksym.

But Speaker Mike Johnson needs to wake the fuck up.

As I'm sure we all know, Musk has ruined Twitter. Today, I tried to post that thought, but I wasn't allowed to do so. Also, my feed was 75% populated by right-wing gibberish. I have to deactivate my account. I've only stayed on the filthy thing to get tweets from Lindi Li and other articulate voices, but I'll have to find them elsewhere. It's become intolerable over there.

A group of Russian nationals were able to donate to newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson's campaign in 2018 by funneling the money through a U.S. company.

Mike Johnson's Campaign Contributions From Company Tied to Russia

The Louisiana Republican's team previously said it returned all the money it received from a company predominantly owned by Russian nationals in 2018.

THE CHOICE IS CLEAR

Trump MAGA Republicans: Chaos every day; lost jobs and lost rights; doing anything to protect tax breaks for the rich

versus

Biden Democrats: Working hard every day to deliver record job growth and rising wages and to protect reproductive freedom, civil rights, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid
