Oh y’all, the speaker is shook. He is definitely losing control and making crazy accusations…keep up the pressure. They have lost the message and have been seen, once again, as they truly are.

Young people: The GOP is floating an amendment to raise the voting age from 18 to 25. Vivek Ramaswamy is openly promoting it. They’re scared of your votes and want to silence you. Act appropriately in 2024.

States are free to determine who is ineligible to hold office (be on a ballot) for their involvement in the insurrection right now. We should all contact our head election official, in my state it's the Secretary of State, and express our concerns.

If Biden did what Mitch did today the media would be covering non stop for the next two weeks. But because it’s a Republican it’s like nothing ever happened. The right wing bias of corporate media is nuts.

In less than two weeks, Ohio voters will head to the polls for the August 8th Special Election. Don’t let the Republicans fool you: this is a desperate attempt to enforce minority rule in the state. Stand for democracy. Vote NO on Issue 1.

Right now, we have the lowest inflation rate among the G7, wages are growing faster than inflation, job satisfaction is at a 36-year high, and the share of working-age Americans in the workforce is the highest it’s been in 20 years. It’s no accident. It’s my economic plan.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The US does not have the lowest inflation rate among G7 countries. Canada has a lower inflation rate at 2.8%, compared to the US's 3.0%. US inflation: bls.gov/news.release/c… Canada inflation: www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…

Never forget this: The GOP’s manufactured crises are meant to distract you from obscene wealth consolidation, climate annihilation, and the subversion of our democracy.

Chris Christie on Donald Trump: "He said that it was ok to suspend the Constitution if you think the election was stolen from you...Anybody, in my opinion, who says that it's okay to suspend the Constitution is disqualified from being President of the United States."

Harris polling is facilitated by Mark Penn, who is married to the CEO of No Labels. They constantly underestimate Biden support and defend Trump. No Labels and any of their maps or polling are not to be trusted. They have one goal - to help Trump win.

Next month, Georgia plans to cancel over 191,000 voter registrations of people who officials believe have either recently moved or have not voted in five years. Voting rights advocates are worried that the cancellations ... 1/2

I‘ve signed onto a motion to force a vote to make Roe v. Wade the set law of the land. Let’s put it on the floor and put all republicans on the record if they support women’s freedom.

Jon Hamm's got a message for Missouri. Any born-and-raised Missourian will tell you: This is the Show Me State. But the only thing Josh Hawley has shown us during his time in the Senate is how to be a fraud and coward. This election is our opportunity to defeat him.

BREAKING: President Biden is asked by a reporter why he gave "millions of Americans false hope" after the Republican Supreme Court ruled against his student debt forgiveness program — and his answer was absolutely perfect. "I didn’t give any false hope," Biden said bluntly, clearly fired up. "The question was whether or not I would do even more than was requested. What I did, I thought was appropriate and was able to be done and would get done." "I didn't give borrowers false hope. But the Republicans snatched away the hope that they were given, and it's real. Real hope," said Biden. Thankfully, this president is a fighter and has already announced a bold plan to proceed with debt forgiveness regardless of the court by harnessing the Higher Education Act. The Republican Party will lose and the American people will win. Bet on it.

BREAKING: The New York Times hits Donald Trump with a devastating Tuesday night bombshell, revealing that “Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed surveillance footage from Trump’s Bedminster resort in New Jersey” just as he did for Mar-a-Lago. But it gets even worse for Trump… The New York Times continues, revealing that, “At one point in the early fall of last year, investigators went so far as to discuss executing a search warrant at Bedminster. Investigators were concerned that more documents were stashed at the club and the only way to account for them was to search the property.” Even worse for Trump, the New York Times reports that “the top counterintelligence official at the Justice Department told Trump’s legal team that prosecutors believed that he still had more classified materials in his possession,” at his New Jersey resort — but Trump still refused to give them back. Adding insult to injury, prosecutors say that Trump’s co-defendant in the case, Walt Nauta, loaded dozens of boxes of top secret documents from Mar-a-Lago onto a plane “that flew Trump and his family north for the summer” on the VERY SAME DAY that federal investigators showed up in Florida to collect all of the classified documents remaining there. Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump MUST be found guilty — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $2.1 million raised from 5,300 of its users.

Remember this? That’s Kyrsten Sinema voting against a $15 minimum wage. A policy that would have lifted many from poverty. I’m Ruben Gallego and I’m running for U.S. Senate in Arizona. If you support Congress passing a $15 federal minimum wage, will you add your name?

THREAD: As a NYT reporter, I've been investigating Trump family international deals since 2016. India, Indonesia, Philippines, Turkey, Panama. I have never seen anything like the Oman deal, re the potential for a conflict of interest. Let's take a look nytimes.com/2023/06/20/us/po…

‘Doesn’t matter if you’re red or blue, woke or asleep. When people speak at the ballot box their will is honored...but Ron DeSantis says, Floridians, I know what’s better for you than you do.’ After FL voters raised the min wage & expanded voting, DeSantis blocked the new laws.

‘Potato King of The World’, Farmer, landowner and businessman, Junius G. Groves (1859-1925), was one of the wealthiest African Americans of the early 20th century. Born enslaved in Green County, Kentucky, Groves was later liberated and joined other freedmen in the “Great Exodus” to Kansas in 1879, eventually finding work as a farmhand. Impressed with his strong work ethic and production, Groves’ employer offered him nine acres of land to farm on shares. By 1884, he and his wife Matilda had saved enough to purchase 80 acres of land near Edwardsville, Kansas. So successful was their venture that, just four years later, they had acquired a total of 2,000 acres and replaced their one-room shanty with a 22-room mansion. Groves made a name for himself as a potato grower, producing as many as 721,500 bushels in one year – far and away more than any other farmer – and earning the title of “Potato King of the World.” He also operated a general store, maintained several orchards, and had investments in various mining and banking interests. Groves worked the farm until his death in 1925. He attributed his success to the endless hard work and devotion of his wife and 12 children.
