ATTN: This is most important court hearing to watch next week. The GOP does not want this case in federal court because they know a federal judge is not likely to toss out 60,000 lawful votes. Their plan is to have the partisan NC state Supreme Court decide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

FYI If an account follows you, with zero posts, and it’s a woman partially exposing her breasts, or scantily clad, while taking a selfie, and her caption says “I’m just here to meet friends and have fun”: It’s probably a Russian sex chat bot.

One of the wealthiest Romans ever, Marcus Licinius Crassus, made some of his money by owning a private firefighting service (there were no public ones). You're house would be burning and he'd show up and offer to put out the fire if you sold him you house for cut rates.

A lot of people will criticize @johnfetterman.com for visiting trump. Don't. Imo, the best way to win voters is to do all you can to represent your constituents first. Your party last. Voters want results. If he can use Trump to get that. Amen.

When I was 23, the house I lived in burned to the ground. I was asleep, and got out with nothing but my pjs and my roommate’s dog. When you lose your house it is not about the sofa or tv. It’s the concert t-shirt you bought with your best friend, and the last letter your grandfather wrote you.

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

Spent yesterday helping my dad (in his 80s, widower, dementia etc) get ready to move into sheltered accomm. He’s got a large house full of junk. But what struck me is the impact Lidl’s aisle of shite must have had on the country. An unbelievable quantity of bizarrely useless objects filling houses.

Polling data shows that Trump made massive gains with Latinos who believe in the Prosperity Gospel, a version of Christianity that elevates wealth and possessions over the teachings of Jesus. Here's why this is Democrats' fault.
