Mitch McConnell is the reason why the United States hasn't passed a renewed Voting Rights Act. He is the reason why the United States hasn't passed democracy reform. He is the reason why Donald Trump is still able to run for office (he had the opportunity to end this nightmare but didn't).
Mitch McConnell is the reason why Roe v. Wade was overturned, and why IVF is now illegal in Alabama.
McConnell is responsible for turning the U.S. Senate into the House of Representatives.
McConnell has never been a friend to labor, the environment, or responsive to climate change.
History, if it remembers him, will remember him for the things he did, and the things he prevented.
He put his own ambitions before the needs of the United States whenever he could.

In April, The Biden-Harris Labor Department expanded overtime pay rules.
Roughly 4.3 million more workers would have been eligible for OT pay under the new rule.
A Trump-appointed judged blocked it yesterday.
Go ahead and keep telling me that the GOP is the party of workers.

Andy Borowitz nails it 👇
Trump looks like he will take 49.9% of the vote and land at a win margin of about 1.4 percent. That’s not even half the country’s voters who turned out and hardly a mandate for the radical change he is promising.
Also, his popular vote percentage ranks 50th out of 55 elections in history.

Please stop saying the following:
1. That won't happen because...
2. So and so will sue if they try that
3. It's against x, y, and z to do that.
None of this shit matters and won't for at least four years.
Trump is going to do every horror he promised and more.

My god, I am actually shocked how many smart people on this website think the Gaetz nomination is some clever ploy to get him out of Congress or set up a second, less extreme nomination.
Are you guys still this thick? Trump picked Gaetz because the first time he was elected his own FBI and DOJ investigated him, and then after he left office Biden's DOJ investigated him, and he wants to stick it
to the "deep state" and get a loyalist inside a department that has "wronged him" for eight years.
This isn't complicated. That's his view. He is throwing the grenade in to see what happens. This is how he governs, for better or worse.
Do I think Gaetz gets through? I have no idea. Probably not. But Trump is DEFINITELY going to try. He is not tee'ing Gaetz up to get thrown out and he's not just going to fold the nomination because freaking Susan Collins feigns upset. I can't believe we are still doing this, genuinely. It would be an incredible coup for him to have someone like Gaetz leading the DOJ. He's going for it.
This isn't a ploy. It's not chess. He's showing you his move and saying "bring it." He's testing the boundaries. They will appoint him if they can. Same with Tulsi and Hegseth.

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again.
It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.

I just got informed by a volunteer for the Democratic Party that my vote hasn’t been counted because my absentee ballot needs to be cured. The North Carolina Supreme Court race still hasn’t been called & as they continue to count more votes the Republican’s lead keeps shrinking

When Obama tried to use recess appointments because Republicans were filibustering nominees, not because of their qualifications, but just to block him from filling posts, the Supreme Court slapped him down. Now watch them give Trump a complete greenlight.

As an insurrectionist, Donald Trump is ineligible to hold any national office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
The only way he can become eligible again is a 2/3rds vote in both chambers of Congress.
Leader Schumer should call the vote immediately. 1/
And still nothing is being done about this. That tells you that the American system has been broken for a very long time.
