Its like leading in the game's last quarter, but still afraid you might lose. Keep the foot on the throat, and chase every advantage ferociously, as if you were losing. No let up.

After listening to Senator Jon Ossoff I am convinced he should run for President. Like JFK he is intelligent, charismatic, strong, brave and bright. I believe he can lead our great country. He is definitely someone we and our children can look up to. 🇺🇸

NEW: One would think a congressional report detailing allegations from 11 women tying Trump to a pedophile financier’s sex-trafficking scheme, with 5 women accusing the president of raping them, would lead to round-the-clock media coverage. Well, you'd be wrong. zeteo.com/p/why-is-the-media…

Average Talarico scandal: Misremembered how many kids he had in a class he taught over a decade ago. Average Paxton scandal: Spent New Years Eve in Dubai with his mistress, just after giving a pedophile a plea deal of only 1 day in jail, just after being indicted for corruption.
James Talarico’s campaign website says: “When I entered the classroom, the Texas Legislature had just gutted the public education budget by $5 billion — so I had 45 kids in one classroom.” Public records show the most students ever assigned to his class was 30, @nytimes reports.

Props 40, 41, and 42 are about taxing billionaires. 40 taxes them. 41 and 42 prevents and stops them from being further taxed. If all you've been seeing are ads telling you "No on 40" and "Yes on 41/42," ask yourself: Who's been paying for those ad campaigns?

Fun fact: in 2020 Florida Republicans paid (illegally) a man with the same last name as the Democrat incumbent to run in an effort to confuse voters and they actually succeeded. The Democrat lost by 32 votes and the sham candidate received 6,000 votes. Election was not overturned.

You all need to understand that there is a well-funded movement to kill Wikipedia as an institution. The dream of an internet that provided universal access to knowledge was a mirage. It threatened too many powerful people, so now we have AI summaries and illiteracy.
Can we also talk about how Wikipedia entries are no longer at the top of a search 😭

Why would you call something Mitch McConnell did the Schumer rule 😂. The unwillingness to grapple with the way two court seats were handled by McConnell by anyone on the right is going to lead to total SCOTUS calvinball for the foreseeable future. Cake was baked in 2020.
It is quite possible that the new rule — the Schumer Rule? — will be that if one party has the majority, it will _never_ hold a hearing on a Supreme Court nominee from a president of the other party, no matter how much time remains until the next election. Democrats talk a lot about expanding the Supreme Court, but if, God forbid, there’s an unexpected vacancy in the next two years, they may well end up shrinking it temporarily.

I hope Maine people will vote for Troy Jackson. It's time to pull the emergency brake on DJT. Mr. JAckson will not just voice concern, as Susan Collins does, but act on it.

Just talked to an Ohio voter who said she didn’t care about the Vivek ad. Voting for this loser, creep, chud anyway, because she didn’t like Acton’s Covid response. I’ve also heard from lots of Paxton voters who are happy to hold their nose to keep the state red. Don’t count on anti-Trump turnout. GO VOTE.

A woman survives childhood abuse, becomes a doctor, and runs for governor. Republicans somehow decided the villain in that story was the woman.

Democrats: It's time to go into full cringe-mode. Every pro-Democratic clip you see, give it an RT. Even if you're regularly too cool for it.

J6 defendants had their days in court and access to the court system. When you're being prosecuted with overwhelming evidence, some of it video you shot yourself, that's not being "illegally detained without any rights."
Replying to @SenWarren
Shut up! You never complained when J6ers were illegally detained without any rights and they were American citizens. This country is sick of democrats and the continued love you have for illegals

If Musk had done nothing (instead of doing something illegal) people who are now dead would still be alive. Degenerates like John will cut and paste a lot of words to confuse this basic point. But they know better.

The moral of the boy who cried wolf is that the boy’s dishonesty was deadly to him, not that people were wrong to disbelieve him. If anyone with a hard earned reputation for honesty alleged fraud, they’d deserve a hearing. At this point that excludes the entire Republican Party.
The LA fraud story is really unconvincing on my read, but I wish people would be less knee-jerk in rejecting allegations of fraud. It does happen and elections have even been reversed in my lifetime because of it. The moral of the boy who cried wolf is not that wolves don’t exist

And what do you know? Harris now winning Virginia by 70,000 votes. That will grow. See how this works? Rural areas report results faster than cities and crowded suburbs. It has always been that way. And it will be that way in AZ, WI, MI, and PA. Harris gaining ground.
Biden won Virginia in 2020 by 500,000 votes (10%). The only reason Virginia is even now is because democratic counties (Arlington, Alexandria) in northern VA and Hernico (Richmond) are sitting at 30% votes reported with the rest of the state at 60%. Harris will win VA.

Keep calm, folks. It's closer than any of us wanted. I'm sad about it, too. But it's not over. Lot of votes left to be counted. 💙

Friends, we've been through this before in both 2016 and 2020. It is early, votes still need to be counted, as we saw in 2020 our vote comes in late, and Harris has multiple paths to 270. Lots of Dem vote out everywhere. It's hard but we need to be patient.
