@grahamformaine Such a refreshing take to acknowledge you will intentionally decline capable people because of who the president is at the time of nomination. You’re a real hero

I’m a guy who worries about the future of our country and what my kids' lives will look like if we can't get our fiscal house in order.

When I get elected, I am not going to vote to confirm a single nominee that comes out of the Trump administration.
English
Nobody in the Trump administration planned for Iran to shut the Strait of Hormuz. Nobody planned for sustained missile strikes on American bases across the Gulf. Nobody planned for an energy crisis. Nobody planned for Europe to look at Washington, shrug, and walk the other way.
Nobody, it turns out, planned for very much at all.
Read the accounts of how this war was decided and you are left with one deeply uncomfortable realisation: the people who launched it appear to have been genuinely surprised by almost everything that followed. The Iranians shot back. The allies didn’t show up. The oil price went vertical. All of it, apparently, news to them.
Which leaves two questions so obvious they’re almost embarrassing to ask.
What exactly did they think was going to happen?
And did anyone, in any room, at any point, think further ahead than the applause?

@AdamParkhomenko Haha, the party that labels itself “tolerant” pushes dissenting any and all opinions to the curb. Well played.
English
@DemGovs Yes, of course! We all know that creating new offices of salaried governmental employees has never failed to create savings for taxpayers.

This is how dedicated Gov. Spanberger is to lowering energy costs in Virginia 💪
Governor Abigail Spanberger@GovernorVA
Today, I am creating a new position in my administration focused on tackling high energy costs — Virginia's Chief Energy Officer. As Virginians across the Commonwealth are feeling the squeeze of rising bills, we are working to deliver affordable, reliable energy.

@GoadGatsby @NavyMojo it’s also written into the constitutional amendment that districts are to be drawn by a commission; not the legislature.
They literally had to pass a law to be retroactive to the 1970s to avoid tripping a notification requirement for election timing.
But It’s wRitTeN dOwN
English
@NavyMojo It's literally written in there. Can't be used after 2030. This is an argument that Tim Anderson could actually win in court.
English
What part is the lie? It's written to only trigger if other states do mid-decade redistricting and can't be used after 2030.
Glenn Youngkin@GlennYoungkin
This is a lie. A blatant lie. Not to mention a complete reversal of your campaign promises. This unconstitutional power grab will permanently rig Virginia’s Congressional maps and disenfranchise millions of Virginians. Virginia, VOTE NO.
English
@tommysantos14 Not “counted,” moron. “Received” is the word you’re looking for.
English
I have to keep pointing this out. Are these people not American, or just completely fucking stupid?
They think it's a good idea to invalidate lawfully cast votes that simply aren't counted by 11:59pm on election day.
This is "short bus" level stupid.
Jack@jackunheard
🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court signals it will STRIKE DOWN state laws allowing mail-in ballots to be counted after Election Day. Do you realize how massive of a win this will be?

@FurkanGozukara Yes of course. They “didn’t understand “
What a fucking clown you are

BOMBSHELL: Jake Sullivan reveals that just days before the US started bombing Iran, Tehran put a massive peace proposal on the table in Geneva. The US negotiators "simply didn't understand what they were being offered" and bombed them anyway!

@Brcremer I’m old enough to remember the thugs at election stations during the Obama elections. Are you?

@marceelias If your mortgage payment is postmarked on the due date, but received afterwards, are you charged a fee? I’ll wait.
English
In 2020, I argued every state must count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day.
Today, the RNC argued no state can.
That is how far the right has descended into voter suppression. And it is why I continue to fight.
English
@MajorityDems How, exactly, do 2 D’s sitting at the table together constitute an honest assessment of bipartisan collaboration?
English
Scott & Spanberger are getting shit done for Virginians. They’re working across the aisle on the 90% of issues that we all agree on.
English
@electionsjoe Let’s try this way: if you mail your mortgage payment with a postmark of the due date, will you or won’t you be charged a late fee? Credit card? Car loan? Rent payment? The only way this is difficult is if you’re cheating or stupid. Or maybe both.
English
Absolutely insane. If a mail ballot is not delivered in time, that is the fault of our mail system, not the voter. Late ballots that were postmarked by election day should be accepted.

NYT: The US Supreme Court appears poised to reject Mississippi’s mail-in ballot law as the six conservative justices expressed deep skepticism. The outcome would affect mail-in voting throughout the country.

For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out.
Here's how it went:
1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14.
2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0.
3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5.
It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops.
Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID.
I know you guys knew that already... lol

@DarrigoMelanie Do you understand the difference between getting in a flight and casting a vote?
English
A Real ID drivers license is not an accepted ID under the SAVE Act — but is accepted to fly domestically.
Only Enhanced Real ID licenses are accepted under the SAVE Act, and they’re only issued in 5 states.
The SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill, and they’re lying to you about it.
Benny Johnson@bennyjohnson
I just went through TSA. Had to show my Government ID. Turns out — 90% of America have flown commercial and had to do the same thing. That’s +300 million people. If we can do it to fly we can do it to vote. Both must require absolute security. PASS the SAVE America Act 🇺🇸
English
@SpeakerDonScott You’re a liar and a clown. Stop lying. Trump ordered nothing, but you know that already
English
Today, I voted Yes! Virginia to the rescue! They started it! We can answer! Trump ordered Republicans in Texas, North Carolina and now Florida to rig the elections. Virginia has to level the playing field. Early voting has already started. Vote by April 21st to stop Trump's power grab and level the playing field.
English
It’s official—I filed for reelection to the U.S. Senate! Hundreds of volunteers across Virginia powered this effort, collecting more than 18,000 signatures. Our grassroots team is strong, organized, and ready to compete everywhere across the Commonwealth. Let’s do this!

@PollTracker2024 @peterjhasson It’s taken directly from her public statements 🤡🤡

Republicans in Virginia are also engaging in ratfucking techniques.
This flyer is being sent to Virginians in the mail to mislead voters into thinking Governor Spanberger opposes Virginia’s redistricting amendment.

The Page County Democratic Committee uses Trump’s face to promote Virginia’s redistricting amendment in order to trick Republicans into voting in favor of the ballot measure.

WOW!
Senator Mike Lee said, “We’ve turned a corner” when it comes to the SAVE America Act.
Leader Thune has agreed to bring it into the Senate floor for a vote
& @BasedMikeLee believes this could be a hybrid talking filibuster.
Let’s pass the SAVE America Act!

@marceelias Marc please stop finding ways to destroy this great country

If this is enacted, Florida will be sued.

@stucam7771 You can’t possibly refill fast enough to account for the emptying Biden did, even if trump started on day one of his presidency (which he basically did anyhow)
English
Fox News is saying that President Biden drained the US oil reserves.
OK, IF this is true I have a question.
Before starting a reckless war in the Middle East, why didn’t the Trump Administration check and replenish them…
