This is Jon Ossoff. He was just reelected as Senator of Georgia. 💙
He is also a future President of the United States. If you’re not convinced, just listen to him handle business. Ossoff does NOT fuck around.

Hundreds of Minnesotans are leaving their "I voted" stickers at the site where Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE agents.

If you want to stop leaving cash on the table this weekend, use these two exact plays on your Prime app today:
First, whenever a box is late, open the customer service chat, bypass the bot by typing "Representative," and paste this exact line:
"My order missed the guaranteed Prime delivery date. Because Prime shipping is a paid service agreement, I am requesting a $15 promotional credit applied to my account to cover this month's membership fee."
Second, never click the yellow "Buy Now" button. Amazon puts the seller with the highest profit margin in that box, not the lowest price. Always scroll down and click "New & Used from other sellers." You will find the exact same brand-new item with Prime shipping for 20% less.

Trump promised to “Drain the Swamp.” Then he made $2 billion off the presidency.
He promised to “Make America Healthy Again.” Then he took healthcare from 15 million people.
He promised “No More Wars.” Then he attacked Iran.
Say NO to Trump. Say NO to a Republican Congress.

The fact that the House Judiciary Dems just released a 53-page report in which 11 women spoke to Trump's ties to Epstein's sex-trafficking operation, 5 of them alleging Trump forced himself on them directly, and one citing a particularly brutal rape while she was a beauty pageant contestant, should be a more significant story.
The fact that Todd Blanche has refused to comply with the court order to release the Epstein files following Katie Phang's lawsuit, should be a more significant story.
The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.
The fact that Trump said he wasn't ever on Epstein's plane and then we found out he was, should be a more significant story.
The fact that we know senior officials gathered in the Situation Room to concoct and coordinate an Epstein coverup should be the most significant story of all.
And when you combine ALL these stories and add to it his hiring of Alex Acosta, the birthday card, Bondi, the movement of Maxwell to a more lenient facility, and then - especially - my pet peeve - simply Trump's panicked behavior on all things Epstein, you really see the degree of the problem we need to fix ...
Echo chambers, social media algorithms, dopamine addicts, and other susceptible citizens, have normalized something that shouldn't be normalizable (poetic license).
To put it simply, and I know it sounds like an understatement, but this election is about so much more than gas prices.

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."

The craziest thing about that flying car is that Donald Trump raped kids with Jeffrey Epstein.

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

Not to mention that deal Trump put in place with OPEC that raised fuel prices and forced shipping costs to skyrocket. Trump has been beyond terrible for the economy.

With Saudi oil now blockaded, Americans are about to discover why maintaining stability in the Middle East and not handing it to a consortium of Russia and Iran was always important.
Walking through every step of Trump's actions in Iran, it almost seems like a wishlist drafted in the Kremlin.
- Start a war with Iran that drives up oil prices
-Take sanctions off Russia long enough to allow 180 million barrels of unpurchased floating crude oil to be sold at high prices
- Burn up US interceptor stockpile with no plan for mass production
- Cut off Ukraine's supply
- Refuse to aid Saudi Arabia as Houthis blockade Bab el-Mandeb Strait
Next up - $200/barrel oil and take sanctions off Russia as solution.

If the American people don’t overwhelmingly reject and repudiate what is happening with this govt, Republican Congress, and Supreme Court this November, then this Republic is doomed. We can survive a criminal regime for a short term, but we can’t survive an ignorant populace.
