If you’re a Trumpster, it’s wise not to attempt to debate Mehdi Hasan, because he’ll make you look an idiot. Case in point: 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZGdCKxgm1/

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." Credit to: Jim Keller

Chip Franklin: “Trump is panicking which doesn’t go along well with his mental illness. Americans have ad enough of this cockwaffle. The reason Trump is panicking is because the halls and auditoriums are half empty. What specifically is freaking Trump out? The protesters screaming about the war, inflation, Epstein, and the graft and incredible corruption”

Unfortunately, a lot of vendors get caught up in situations like this with wealthy individuals or companies who don't pay their bills. Trump famously doesn't pay his bills & bankrupted vendors.
A Bay Area restaurant owner says Elon Musk’s SpaceX owes him $70,000 for two dinners he catered in Palo Alto. “That’s not even a penny for them,” he said. sfchronicle.com/food/restaur…

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just highlighted how Donald Trump's policies just created the largest jump in inflation since May. This is the WORST possible news for Republicans ahead of the midterms. Spread it everywhere.

$227 million stripped from Texas schools to fund Greg Abbott's corrupt voucher scam. $68 million from Houston ISD alone. Our kids suffer while Abbott's donors get rich. When I'm Governor, I will end the voucher scam and save our neighborhood schools.
Nearly half of the 80 school districts in the Houston-Galveston region may lose a combined $68 million in funding after some 8,000 students left for Texas vouchers. houstonchronicle.com/news/ho…

.@GregAbbott_TX is the person most responsible for TX public schools being gutted to give taxpayer $$ to wealthy private school families & crooked voucher vendors. Abbott's hostility to public schools alone disqualify him to continue as TX Governor. houstonchronicle.com/news/ho…

Abbott absolutely HATES public schools in Texas. He has worked for years to utterly and completely destroy those schools. He has sold his soul to Tim Dunn and Jeff Yass and is now OWNED by those billionaire Christian Nationalists.

Property taxes have gone up 85% under Greg Abbott. I have never, not once, voted to raise Texans’ property taxes.

You are correct. The choice is absolutely clear.
The choice could not be clearer. Ken Paxton has fought for life, parental rights, school choice, the Second Amendment, public safety, border security, religious freedom, and protection from foreign threats. James Talarico’s record tells a very different story. On issue after issue, his positions are simply too radical for Texas. Look at the record. Compare the choices. Defend Texas. Pick Paxton.

Chris Murphy: "On April 30 -- a Thursday -- Reynolds, one of the biggest tobacco countries in the country, makes an $8 million donation to the president. Two days later on Saturday, they have lunch with the president and tell him they want a change in FDA rules, especially regarding flavored vapes. The presidents calls the FDA commissioner and secretary of HHS, and three days later, on Tuesday, new guidance is issued that paves the way to the sale of flavored vapes. That is not a coincidence."

Gina Hinojosa on Greg Abbott refusing to debate her: “He’s hiding from his record. It is indefensible. He’s been in charge for 12 years now and I just went through the stats: the most uninsured, the most bankruptcies, the most people disconnected from their electricity. That is his record, he owns it and he’s hiding from it and he’s hiding from the voters. He would be a fool to debate me at this point because his record is trash”
