I am familiar there is a local VO church. I have met this (self-described) "mischievous" man in this picture. Met in June. Things I can tell you he said. ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฎ I'm under the impression the church leader thinks I'm stupid based on my socioeconomic status. instagram.com/voboston/

Was? No, he wasn't. He claimed affordability was a hoax. Also, was?! He's still President for 2 more years.
Leavitt: I think the number one issue for voters was affordability, prices and inflation. The president was tackling an inflation crisis from the previous Biden administration.

Huh?
Hannity: Democrats even lining up in support of a measure that would kick Haley Stevens out of the Democratic caucus for daring to support Mike Rogers. They never criticized Hasan Piker(???)

Just so I understand: You're suggesting that Republicans, who have controlled every statewide elected office in Texas for more than 30 years, rigged an election against themselves?
If you say an election was stolen, they'll come after you. I'm saying it. I'm saying that everyone at least needs to know it wasn't stolen, or you lose the country. Can we at least look into these irregularities? WE MUST.

The thing about Ramaswamy is heโ€™s just some nasty guy. Heโ€™s never won an election, he will not be involved in governing Ohio, Republicans are unlikely to ever nominate him to anything again โ€” why would she need to mend a fence with him? He can fuck off.
Governor-elect Amy Acton (D-OH) says she has โ€œno intention of speakingโ€ to her Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, after his campaign ran a controversial ad that featured her estranged mother: โ€œLeadersโ€™ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.โ€ First on CBS Mornings, Governor-elect Acton also shares about her mission to bring โ€œpublic service, unity and decencyโ€ to her state and her position on AI data centers: โ€œWeโ€™re open for business, but weโ€™re not for sale and weโ€™re not to be exploited.โ€

I received a notice regarding my health insurance in August before the election even took place. Many of their own supporters actually supported the ACA. GOP electeds did this on behalf of Trump, who is triggered by Obama who signed it into law.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THE REPUBLICANS DESIGNED THEIR HEALTHCARE CUTS TO TAKE AFFECT STARTING IN 2027 BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO CREATE A PROBLEM TO BLAME DEMOCRATS FOR! THEY KNEW THEY WOULD LOSE, SO THEY MADE YOUR LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE TO GIVE THEMSELVES A TALKING POINT!

I donโ€™t think you could find 2 people who have more consistently called out people who misrepresent our Christian faith than me and Sara Haines. We regularly call out Christian Nationalism & people who hide behind Christianity to justify extremism. Notably, Sara Haines challenged the sitting Vice President on the disconnect between his faith & actions to his face on air.
"Do you believe that leaders have a responsibility to challenge the extremist views within their own religion?" Sara Haines's question to the first Muslim senator on The View today. When was the last time you saw Chuck Schumer asked to challenge extremist Jews, or Ted Cruz asked to challenge extremist Christians? This is what an Islamophobic double standard looks like.

The Trump family continues to defile the White House. Itโ€™s a family affair.
Melania Trump welcomes Kirill Dimitrov, special envoy to Putin, to say some words in the White House. Dimitrov slathers praise on Melania.

CNN was scheduled to be todayโ€™s TV pool. But the White House blocked us from being allowed in for the presidentโ€™s event in the Oval Office thatโ€™s now underway. That means none of the five networks will have audio or video of his remarks.
