    It seems cosmically unfair but Truman’s slogan If you want to live like a Republican vote Democratic, has a corollary. Once you live like a Republican you’ll vote Republican. For Dem WHs, low unemployment (1952, 1968, 2000, 2016) means GOP social issues attract swing voters.
    NEW: Pres. Biden faces broad negative ratings at start of campaign, Post-ABC poll finds. His approval rating slips to a new low (36 pct); more Americans than not doubt his mental acuity; he trails against Trump & DeSantis. By @danbalz @sfcpoll @EmGusk:  washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…

    We really are the worst. Just spoke to someone who tested COVID+. If he isolates for 2 wks, no pay (& no sick leave, remember we’re the worst). I told him I’d call boss & walk him through COVID sick pay tax credit. Guess what, it expires 9/30. So he’ll be working (food services).

    So does an American who’s elected the monarch of a foreign state have to renounce his citizenship? 🤔

    Fun fact, Joe Biden’s birth in 1942 was closer in time to Sherman’s burning of Atlanta in 1864 than to the Presidential debate in Atlanta this year.

    I’m suddenly Mike Pompeo’s biggest fan.
    Pompeo’s idea of a “Trump Peace Plan for Ukraine” is to give Zelensky a $500 BILLION shopping spree at the Pentagon to buy whatever weapons he wants. So Zelensky could obtain the Tomahawks he’s been asking for and strike Moscow. This is not a peace plan; it’s a way to start WW3.

    My four year old gets upset that he’s not in vacation photos for family trips from before he was born.

    Chuck Schumer is a moron that, frankly, lucked into always being assigned group projects with Nancy Pelosi. Now that’s he’s standing on his own merits… get ready for the pain.
    An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight. They’ll get a promise of a vote on health care — but nothing more. Most of the Democratic leadership will likely

    It looks like both GA Senate races are going to Jan runoff. If Democrats win both they control Senate (50+VP). If they don’t, Biden’s legislative agenda is doomed. Before they spend a $ on TV ads, they better scour state for eligible but not registered voters, deadline is Dec 7.

    If protesters don’t get that carrying any flag other than the Stars and Stripes hurts their cause, they’re ngmi. @ArmandDoma gets it.

    I like the cut of this guy’s jibe. He replaced a single family home in Los Angeles with a 33 unit apartment building and is in the process of replacing another w/ a 67 unit apt building, driving the local NIMBYs incandescent with rage. You love to see it.

    As everyone already suspects from Hollywood movies, foreigners really do talk to each other in English when they don't think anyone else can hear them.
    Some pretty incredible footage of Macron talking to Zelensky on the morning of the invasion, when the scale of the full-scale Russian assault on Ukraine was becoming clear.

    Now that’s a plot twist! Ukraine’s UN Ambassador points out that when USSR collapsed in 1991, Russia took over its UN seat (which made it a permanent member of Security Council). Contrary to terms of UN Charter, the General Assembly has never voted to approve Russia’s membership.
    Ukrainian Ambassador to the UN General Assembly asking which country “voted for Russia [a newly formed country] to be admitted to the UN” after the breakup of the Soviet Union No one in the Assembly raises their hands Incredible moment in the UN. #UnitedNations #UN

    If resisting a kidnapping were a crime, she’d be guilty as fuck. Since it’s not, your taxes will go to writing her a large check after she files a federal civil rights lawsuit.
    ICE agents just snatched a Journalist & were Speeding away when they hit a woman’s vehicle that was going to work & doing nothing wrong! They almost left the scene after slamming into her,but then snatched her out of her car at gunpoint and took her with them! 🤬
