Trump's campaign knows:

A vote for Robert Kennedy is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Cornel West is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump.
Not voting is a vote for Trump.

A vote for Biden is a vote for democracy.

Student debt relief is good for everyone — not just those carrying it.

When Americans aren't buried in debt, they have more $ to contribute to the economy. They're more likely to start a business, buy a house, or start a family. And they're less likely to need gov't assistance.

Great lede: "Frank LaRose lurched to the right, flipped on democracy issues to tow the party line, rigged our maps, tried to undermine majority rule and it still wasn’t enough." https://www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ohios-democracy-pays-the-price-for-laroses-political-ambition/

Keep it up, we cannot afford to lose the Senate (and yes, I donated).

Via Kyle Griffin:

Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown hauled in more than $12 million in the first quarter of 2024 for his re-election bid — breaking an record, according to his campaign.

    Back on the road to California. That means 📱connection is spotty, can’t often reply, but I try to read all replies & post news alerts.

    I say this every time: Returning to US from 🇨🇦 is culture shock, meaning being confronted by Trump/religious signs, banners, billboards. It’s stomach churning.

    It’ll be a relief to move permanently in late May.

    Yes, Doomers, 🇨🇦 has its issues. So does every country in the world. But 🇨🇦 currently feels safer.

    #Trump sues #TrumpMedia co-founders, seeking to void their #stock in the company

    Trump's #lawsuit claims that Litinsky & Moss, who were both contestants on Trump’s reality-TV show “The Apprentice,” mishandled an attempt to take Trump Media public several years ago, allegedly putting the whole project “on ice” for >1½ yrs.

    [how much you wanna bet he trying to find a way around the 6 month lock up provision?]

    Pay attention to how the media frames this election. They say we’re “deeply divided” but miss the big picture. One side would throw the rules of democracy out entirely! That’s not just “divided.” That’s wanting to end our country as we know it by putting a strongman in charge.

    @rbreich that’s just lying. We are decided because of Trump lies.

    The story today is "stochastic terrorism." Not "increasingly caustic and personal attacks" as the New York Times frames the issue.

    What is stochastic violence?

    How Stochastic Terrorism Uses Disgust to Incite Violence >>> https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-stochastic-terrorism-uses-disgust-to-incite-violence/

    "Dehumanizing and vilifying a person or group of people can provoke... stochastic terrorism, in which ideologically driven hate speech increases the likelihood that people will violently and unpredictably attack the targets..."

    @mastodonmigration worse than worthless. This doesn’t even discuss the source of this. Trump and Maga.

    During the historic gathering of 3 #UnitedStates presidents last night, pro- #Palestinian protesters interrupted the event. Again, instead of ignoring their protestations, the presidents addressed the concerns.

    All 3 men remarked on the #Israel #Hamas #war in #Gaza, reflecting on the difficulty of trying to solve intractable challenges such as #MiddleEast #peace as #POTUS. #Biden said there have been “too many innocent victims, Israeli & Palestinian,” in the conflict.

    Don’t let them fool you. RFK, Jr. received his funding from big Republican donors.

    Steve Bannon urged him to run!

    Why? Because he’s there to play spoiler.

    Democrats shouldn’t fall for it. A vote for RFK, Jr. is a vote to help Trump win, plain and simple.

    @rbreich indies don’t fall for it either

    🚨BREAKING: Montana Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN multiple voter suppression laws for violating the state constitution. A great victory for our client the MT Democratic Party and the voters of Montana.

    Who could have predicted that Carrie Budoff Brown would have made such a miscalculation by hiring Ronna McDaniel at NBC? Her credentials are impeccable:

    Rutgers grad, spent time at the illustrious New York Times, former editor of Politico, named one of "The 50 Most Powerful People In Trump's Washington" by GQ.

    She has it all. She had a pipeline to top-management glory. What lessons did she learn on the way that led her to do what she just did?

    Your periodic reminder that Medicare For All would save $450 billion in health care costs and 68,000 lives per year.

    @rbreich what? Do you mean Medicare advantage or straight Medicare which does not pay for drugs etc and requires a supplement. Stop making shit up and misleading people. It’s NOT HELPFUL
