👀 This ought to be much bigger news ... The FBI has “election crisis coordinators” standing by for the midterms, with plans to deploy them to polling places. That is deeply concerning and “not good” doesn’t begin to capture it. #Midterms #VoterSupression #ElectionInterfrence #LegalBasis
🚨 Patel admits agents will be deployed to polling places 👇
WELCH: I thought you weren't going to be sending people to the polls?
PATEL: Nope
W: So you are sending FBI agents?
P: We have election crisis coordinators manned at all 56 field offices. Election integrity is of paramount importance

Wow -- RNC video: "On June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, 'I need a caretaker,' so God gave us Trump."
It only gets more unhinged and culty from there.

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath.

"I" should get something out of it. Not "we", not "the United States". Him. He's illustrating exactly who he's been the entire time. Only out for himself. He has never seen himself as a representative of the country or its people. It's all been a grift for his own personal gain.

More evidence that he can no longer distinguish between his fantasies and the real world.
Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

I love re-upping this: for decades the main library at UCLA had the generic name University Research Library because the person most responsible for getting it built was an English professor named Hugh G. Dick and the university refused to name it after him.

I have known many trans kids (and cis kids who needed procedures that would fall under "gender-affirming care"). None of them have suffered harmful consequences for getting the care they needed.
The harmful consequence for having that care denied is frequently death.

BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Friday that it reached an “agreement” with Mount Sinai Health System in which it will “cease providing” gender-affirming medical care to minors and dedicate $2 million to providing care to those “suffering harmful consequences” of such care.

Darline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care."
So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents.
It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/

What Darline Graham’s Ugly, Viral Outburst About Death Really Reveals
The senator’s parents died when she was a kid. That’s tragic. But it’s also tragic that she’s against the kind of care that could help untold numbers of people avoid that fate today.
