The Republican Party’s culture of violence - The Atlantic theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…

“Mike Johnson, the GOP's latest speaker nominee, voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election by fueling a lie about voter fraud that led to an insurrection at the Capitol. He also signed onto a brief in support of throwing out votes in swing states” threadreaderapp.com/thread/1716998…

Republicans in NC took a 51-49 state and packed nearly every democrat into 4 of the 14 congressional districts, giving them a cakewalk in 10 of the 14 seats. This is how Republicans force minority rule on the majority of Americans.

If you’re pressed for time, here’s a summary: #Mike_Johnson is a sincere far-right extremist kook. And now he’s #Speaker and 2nd in line for the Presidency.

When a sizable portion of one of the major political parties, aided by a right-wing propaganda machine and infused with religious fervor, rejects the basis for multiracial, multicultural democracy, we face a severe crisis.

What a surprise. The mass shooter’s favorite accounts were Musk, Catturd, Don Jr, Tucker Carlson and Dinesh D’Souza. But Mike Johnson says we just need to pray more.

Trump gets the name of the city he’s in wrong, forcing someone on stage to apparently whisper in his ear where he actually is: “You’re in Sioux City, Mr. President”

FRIENDS: Can we get 1,000 quick replies and retweets to get #VoteBlueVirginia trending so everyone knows how crucial it is to get out the vote for the Virginia elections, where Governor Glenn Youngkin wants to pass a 15-week abortion ban?

One week ago was another mass murder shooting by a domestic terrorist. When Democrats voted last year to crackdown on exploding domestic extremism 99% of republicans in Congress voted no and then killed it.

If you care about who wins the next presidential race, I bet that, come October 2024, you'll be sweating what's happening in Pennsylvania: if ballots are rejected, how election cases are going. And: A lot of will come down to who wins office THIS Tuesday. ⬇️

Virginia gets the lions share of attention heading into Tuesday. But really Pennsylvania is the one that matters most for *national* politics — and that’s the one you’ll hear about in 2024. And that it’s so much more under-radar could have consequences with turnout. Let’s see.

Donald's lies are becoming ever more outrageous, yet this 13-seconds of craziness apparently didn't make the national news anywhere:

Trump said this just two days ago, folks. He’s not exactly hiding the ball!

“Trump, if elected, will use the federal government to go after his political rivals and critics, even deploying the military toward that end. His allies are hatching plans to invoke the Insurrection Act on day 1. The US would resemble a banana republic.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Yesterday donald trump openly admitted he is planning to impose a military dictatorship if he seizes power again. I am going to post this repeatedly so no one can say they haven’t been told.

Trump spokesman: How dare you compare Trump to Hitler. All of you will be exterminated when Trump becomes dictator.

To me, actually brokering a ceasefire agreement is more impressive than “calling for” or “demanding” a ceasefire but that’s just one perspective.

Watch this. A republican legislator justifying controlling women’s health care and crushing women’s freedom by comparing women to dogs. This is the republican party in one clip.
