Let’s say for one minute that Hunter Biden did send the text message in 2017. Let’s for one minute assume the Joe Biden is sitting right there with Hunter while composing the message. Let’s even go further & say that Joe Biden told Hunter what to say in the text. What office did Joe Biden hold in 2017? In 2017, what law did then private citizen Joe Biden break? Now let’s assume that he didn’t provide a product. Let’s even assume that it was pay for political influence. If Biden was paid for political influence while a private citizen, isn’t that what lobbyists do everyday? Correct me if I’m wrong, but if Biden is guilty of all these things Republicans have stated above isn’t he only guilty of lying while NOT under oath? Isn’t that exactly what Donald Trump did for 4 straight years? I fail to see the need for a Congressional investigation! Please tell me where I’m wrong & remember I made a bunch of assumptions in this hypothetical situation! #BrianHopkinsforCongress

.@RepHankJohnson: “Last year, half the [Supreme Court] justices showed up at a Federalist Society dinner where the audience gave them a standing ovation for the Dobbs decision. The Court has forgotten it's accountable to all Americans, not just the Federalist Society.” 👏🏾👏🏾

IMO the #MSM reporting is highly inaccurate on Biden’s approval rating.. we don’t idolize him. We are not members of a cult. We are Americans that are able to feel proud again. I am most grateful for a empathetic, wise and honorable @POTUS @JoeBiden – at Village of Clarkston, MI

Republicans are so flabbergasted over their inability to connect with young voters it’s almost comical. You wanna know why they hate you and upwards of 90% of them will never vote for you @GOP? I’ll break it down for you (Thread)

Republicans will force a 10 year old to carry her rapist’s baby to term, let a 6 year old carry a gun, permit a 12 year old to work an 8 hour shift in a meat packing plant and allow a grown man to marry a 14 year old with a Judge’s consent, all while telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender affirming care and books about Rosa Parks is because they want to ‘protect our kids.’ Bullshit.

We need to stop thinking of the GOP as an 'authoritarian' party and realize they are a totalitarian party.

In the darkness of a boarding school night, my mother said she could hear the other kids weeping for their parents. The children were forbidden to speak Lakota by clergy staff. So they spoke the language in their prayers — A thousand prayers from a thousand lonely little souls.

A hierarchy: 1. I won't read that book 2. I won't let my kid read that book 3. I won't let that book in the school library 4. I won't let that book in *any* library 5. I won't let that book be sold 6. I won't let that book be published 7. I won't let that book be written

Jimmy Carter shows that it’s the whole of your life that matters, not just what you do in your time of power and fame. He devoted his post-presidency to helping others, defending the rights of oppressed groups despite blowback, and loving his wife. A good man, a good American.

I don't have a problem with nor will I ever ridicule anyone who wishes to practice their religion. But when zealots attempt to codify it into secular law, censoring art, music, speech, or overturning civil rights using their cherrypicked dogma as pretext, that's when I push back.

Christianity was complicit in the Native American genocide. Therefore, I want the Bible banned — because it hurts my feelings.

In Florida, you can carry a firearm without a permit. But a teacher carrying an “unvetted” book is felony? What kind of 1930’s Nazi Germany bullshit is this?

Dude... Evil is when a man walks into a school and murders a dozen children Evil is when Russia bombs schools and hospitals to steal another country's land Evil is NOT when a musician dances around in a tight devil costume performing a hit song.

So when an anti-vaxxer dies from Covid, they don’t talk about it, but when anyone else dies of anything else - they blame the Covid vaccine. Do I have that about right?

There are three big secrets about Florida people don't get. 1. There is no state more lavishly corrupt. Crony capitalism writ large. 2. Our Legislature is wholly-owned by the lobbying corps. 3. Everything that brought people here is dying. nyti.ms/3Zz4SiB

No, both sides are not the same. One wants a theocracy with unfettered capitalism and oligarchs at the helm The other wants billionaires to pay a bit more in taxes so we can afford healthcare for everyone.
