WTF‼️So we’ve moved on from bribery to extortion, Trump tells a North Carolina crowd that if Michael Whatley (R-NC) doesn’t win the Senate race that he will cut off FEMA funding for folks who are still recovering from Hurricane Helene. #StopTrumpCorruption Vote Roy Cooper (D-NC).

KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding.
They also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you.

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit.
Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need.
Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.”
Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.”
Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

Hugely important‼️
Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting.
But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines.
So people must mail back with plenty of time.
