Some billionaires understand that Biden is better than #TFG, for business, the #economy, & #democracy, & are willing to spend millions to ensure that the president wins a second term.
Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire entrepreneur and former Democratic presidential candidate, has given nearly $20 million to help President Biden’s reelection effort, according to people familiar with the donations.
In case you've forgotten, here's a reminder of how #Convict45 marked Juneteenth during his tenure. Commemorating this significant holiday by threatening violence against Americans protesting racial injustice is as on-brand as it gets for a wannabe dictator.
"But, on private properties, like at grocery stores or at a workplace, people can be required to remove masks if requested."
This part of North Carolina's anti-mask bill is particularly horrible. It will increase harassment of people wearing masks, and puts public health at risk.
I hope that, belatedly, news organizations are finally learning how to cover the clear and present danger a second Trump term would pose to the world. These are gift articles from The Washington Post and The NY Times. They are pieces based on reporting (as opposed to opinion or speculation pieces).

How about we quit spilling ink on dystopian worlds "if Trump wins" and start writing about the good that can happen if #Biden and a big #BlueTrifecta win?
Think of 20-21 (Inflation reduction act, Infrastructure, judges, real House investigations) but even better! #VoteBlue2024
Absolutely. The psychic damage that Trump has wrought is profound. By taking about the dystopian future all the time we fuel the terror. But, the reality is we will not let that happen. This is a moment of great opportunity. The GOP has overplayed their hand with this crazy dictator nonsense, and we have a golden opportunity to not only elect Biden, but to give him solid majorities in the House and Senate, and usher in a truly progressive future.
@Nonilex the issue with this tactic -- #TFG is trying desperately to not have a majority in the Electoral College in order to toss it to the House for THEIR will to subvert the legal votes of millions and "bow to the king and kiss the ring" to stay in power.
Best possible recourse? Vote the House BLUE - By a wide margin! And even that is not a certainty to prevent the stupid antics of the #GQP#PartyOfPutin
#RWMedia, & most of MSM #media, have helped poison the brains of voters. The outlets have bashed Pres Biden, eclipsing what they did to HRC, while giving #TFG & Republicans undue credit:
"That’s right: A flat majority says that economic conditions in our country are “poor.” Even though they simultaneously say that their own lives are going pretty well."
James Fallows, who should know, explains why debates are WORSE than useless.
There’s one more reason this year. By sharing a stage, Biden will normalize the idea that it’s all right for Trump to be a free man, as opposed to an incarcerated criminal.

"Presidential elections do not ever have the effect of 'sending a message.' Their unique purpose is to determine who will be in power". #VoteBlue2024
@rbreich they most definitely will. As long as American working class/ middle class continue to vote republicans into office, workers rights will be destroyed.
Don’t vote for guns, no one has ever tried to take them away, don’t vote for right to life issues, other people’s decisions don’t affect you. Vote for your, and your family’s best interests.#VoteBlue2024 its our only chance
We are fighting because this country deserves a leader who respects our democracy, not disloyal Republicans willing to harm our citizens, divide our country and tear it to pieces for a bit of power.
We found the nazis, they attacked the Capitol on #January6th. It will take our collective effort to save our nation from the enemy within.
“We need to know who is going to stand up with us! And this choice is clear. Joe Biden bet on the American worker, while Donald Trump blamed the American worker”
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain
Although this clip is a few months old the sentiment is still true
If you truly are moral, if you truly care about the American worker then you must vote Joe Biden
@flexghost Even more significant IMHO, is #LinaKahn & the FTC #NonCompeteAgreementBan —which I would amend from “FTC bans noncompete agreements, making it easier for workers to quit” to making it easier for #Workers to compete, innovate & help level the playing field for the American #WorkingClass 🙌 💙🇺🇸
