If voters return Republicans to the majority in the midterms they will get exactly what they have right now - Congress doing nothing month after month, out of session refusing to do their jobs while Trump rules like an autocrat with no checks or balances. An Imperial Presidency.

I’m sure Trump’s “joke” that he will continue to withhold disaster aid to NC unless they vote Republican in the midterms will go over well there. Can he please come to Maine and tell some jokes for Susan Collins?

This is super cool. @zacheverson.com is a journalist following Trump’s crypto corruption. For people who are having trouble understanding how it works, Zach made a game. I love this kind of innovation for helping us understand stuff….
New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it.
Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater.
I made an 8-bit game out of it—
📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money.
📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.

An 8-bit game about real money. Play as Trump: you only make money. Play as an investor: you only lose. Every figure is drawn from Public Citizen's report and the sources it cites.

This is an argument that we all need to be making right now.
Trump has made life poorer, dirtier, and less safe. And we need to make that case bc Trump will otherwise surely do what fascists do, blame the people he has been othering for decades.

Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”
