Lots of political happenings.
First, some truth from 44.
“People like Putin, and Steve Bannon for that matter, understand it’s not necessary for people to believe disinformation … You just have to flood a country’s public square with enough raw sewage.”

More truth from 46
Our recovery has now created 7.9 million jobs — more jobs created over the first 14 months of any presidency ever.
Unemployment is at 3.6% — down from 6.4% when I took office. That’s the fastest decline in unemployment to start a President’s term ever recorded.

Another thing that President Joe Biden and his people (Secretary of State Antony Blinken and a talented group with him) are fixing. https://t.co/jpVjZ0rhGI

Nothing that we didn’t already know, and why these investigations need to continue.
New evidence filed in federal court: Republican members of Congress were heavily involved in calls and meetings with Donald Trump and his top aides as they devised a strategy to overturn the election in December 2020. https://t.co/mVNhZjZNK0

Uh huh😒😒
Not a penny in student loan payments has been due through the entirety of the Biden presidency. The people harping on student debt despite in spite of this don't care about student debt. They care about giving power back to Republicans.

So barring a major change (NY or FL maps being struck down), looks like the final post-redistricting breakdown will be 227 Biden seats, 208 Trump seats, a gain of 5 seats for Biden relative to 2020.

No lie told about the CRT hysteria.
That's why they've weaponized Critical Race Theory as a racist dog whistle. Anything that correctly diagnoses the white supremacist motivations behind Republican policy and actions is to be banned so the country marches blindly into Fascism.

Banning books was always the plan.

The real energy behind “If you can’t afford to live here then leave” is really people thinking low income folks don’t deserve to make demands about their community. You’re poor, you don’t get to demand the community build and preserve affordable housing.

I’m ready to have the conversation about how Black boys/men would DOMINATE gymnastics and could be Olympians if we stopped acting like gymnastics are feminine and/or makes them gay. It’s long overdue.

My cab driver just asked me if I was tired of the masks (we’re both wearing one) then he said, “I’m tired of the masks especially in the heat, but I’m wearing it because I don’t want to get sick and I don’t want to get anyone else sick. It’s a basic respect issue.”

To everyone focused on Disney vs. DeSantis, don’t take the bait! Ron DeSantis has launched a direct assault on Black representation in Florida and is picking a fight w/ Disney so that voters look the other way! Don’t let him sweep this under the rug! #DeSantisDestroysFlorida

Many states have decriminalized cannabis and guess what, black people still sit and jail and white people have made themselves rich selling it.
They always use us as a shield to gain more white privilege.
Y’all need to quit being bamboozled by people with no black friends.

Libertarianism at the macro level turned out to be only about making sure that only WM have all the opportunities to make all the money and pay the lowest taxes and become all the capitalist overlords
at the micro level it’s about bullying others, once they feel confident enough

I have said it repeatedly- Kevin McCarthy is feckless, spineless & now the American people see he is a LIAR! He has undermined his oath to protect & defend the constitution, and this shows why he fought so vigorously to stop the January 6th committee. #Guilty #FraudFearFascism

Megalomania is an obsession with power and wealth,and a passion for grand scheme.The horror is that megalomaniacs harm lots of others with their obsessions and schemes.If one considers the wealth, power, and grand scheme Hitler or Stalin had,the death toll was perhaps 80 million.

The ability to manipulate the political system and to take over the United States with misinformation is the goal. Once you own the political system you control all the money and where it flows. Musk wants everything. But who controls him? That is the question and Bezos answers.

Marriage in your 20s is a startup marriage. You’re both young, broke, and malleable enough to grow together.
Marriage in your 30s is a merger marriage. You’re both fully formed human beings conjoining your own assets & identity. I can’t recommend enough getting a prenup.
