Senator Whitehouse has been on this for awhile. These people are dangerous. Period. They are a threat. Period.
A Dark Money group that you need to find out about and their rotten, dangerous agenda.
These are people who would like to strip us of our right to vote.
Right-wing extremists want to give state legislatures power to overturn federal elections — and finish what they started after the 2020 election. How? Here’s their scheme.
— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) September 10, 2022
Next they turn to The Court That Dark Money Built. Years of packing extremists onto the Court and political pressure have brought an obedient Court supermajority to power.

Honest Elections Project calls itself a “nonpartisan organization devoted to supporting the right of every lawful voter to participate in free and honest elections.” Wrong. This group promotes voter suppression under the guise of “election integrity.”

Rings a bell? It’s the theory pushed by Trumpster John Eastman to overturn the 2020 election (he also filed an amicus brief in this case). If the GOP justices go along, it would unwind our democracy as we know it.
— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) September 10, 2022
And extremists like Eastman hope that it would even let them pick election winners, overriding the state’s popular vote.
— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) September 10, 2022
The extremists think they won’t need to sack the Capitol next time. Just (illegally) fix the vote in Republican state legislatures and run it up to the captured Supreme Court for a rubber stamp. Bingo — Bush v. Gore 2.0.
— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) September 10, 2022
Who was behind this Scheme? The same guy behind the Honest Elections Project: Leonard Leo, who from his Federalist Society perch stocked the Court with Roberts, Alito, and three Trump justices.

The Judicial Crisis Network took in checks as big as $17 million to run TV political ads for Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. The whole Court Capture Scheme looks to have cost more than $580 million — the big donors weren’t messing around.

The Republican Party strategy to win elections is to not talk about their actual policy positions, and the American news media considers that to be savvy.

Ron DeSantis literally used Florida taxpayer money to pay for a scheme to pick up migrants who were in Texas – that is, not even in Florida – and fly them to Massachusetts. How are Floridians possibly okay with that?

Gotta say that one of the underappreciated and terrible aspects of Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbot teaming up to do some human trafficking has to be them purposely keeping local officials totally out of the loop, specifically to cause chaos and confusion for everyone involved.

When Republicans controlled the Federal govt, they engaged in child separation as their means to gin up the base.
Now, instead, they’re engaging in a different kind of human trafficking.
It’s still just human trafficking and kidnapping.

I need someone to explain this to me.
Because, I’m not getting it.
How….THE PHUCK…

Charter jets to take migrants IN TEXAS….
TO MARTHA’S VINEYARD, MA.
That was my confusion when I heard the story…
I was like….’ what border, outside of water, does Florida have?
only to find out that the migrants were in TEXAS?
THEE ENTIRE PHUCK!
Good read. Interesting thread. See what happens when you have a party actually interested in GOVERNING and GOOD GOVERNMENT.

So Democrats played some amazing hardball against the federal courts very quietly in the Inflation Reduction Act. And no one is really paying attention to it. I kind of love it. They preemptively stripped the federal courts of jurisdiction to throw out the drug pricing portion.🧵

TOOT YOUR OWN HORN!
Since we came to office, we’ve created nearly 10 million jobs, a record for any presidency up to this point, and 3.7% unemployment—a nearly 50-year low in this country.— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) September 14, 2022
MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards.
Backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.

I thank both the unions and rail companies for negotiating in good faith. https://t.co/9JNtLynsch

I love President Biden’s TRUE love of cars. I think it’s adorable. He cracks me up when he’s in the cars. It just oozes from him- cars are one of his happy places.
DARK BRANDON WINS AGAIN!!
When I tell you that the MSM had the stories ready to go to BLAME 46 FOR THE RAIL STRIKE?
They had them ready to go.
Along with all the things going wrong in America because of the strike.
Stories.ALREADY.WRITTEN.
And now…they has a sad….
awe…….
They were having a ‘Preparedness’ Fair in the plaza outside of my work building. Bunch of government agencies were giving out brochures and other goodies.
AARP was there too.
And, …..the local health department…
GIVING AWAY THE MEGA BOOSTER SHOT.
Filled out the application online on my phone. Got my Pfizer and went about my merry way. Even got a new vaccination card.
Thank you, Joe Biden. You and your Administration made this happen. And, I won’t ever forget.

Something more important than the seizure of Mike Lindell’s phone has happened. NH Republicans nominated MAGA candidate Don Bolduc for US Senate, thereby making it more probable that Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) will be re-elected. It’s a pattern we’ve seen across America this year.

I can believe , but, it’s like WTF to these trifling tricks in the MSM trying to make something of POTUS and Dr. FLOTUS going back to Delaware to vote in person yesterday.
One of them had the nerve to write in their tweet – there were no high profile races.
An election with no high-profile races?
What kind of nonsense is this. You VOTE EVERY SINGLE ELECTION BECAUSE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO!
As someone else tweeted – you know who vote in EVERY ELECTION – those right -wingers. Yet, nothing complaining about THEM Voting.
Good on 46 for setting that example👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Good Morning Everyone 😊😊 😊
