"Walz is a progressive populist minus the anger"

A terrific choice, on all grounds

What a wonderful and wise pick!
The fact that the #GQP / #TrumpVirus #cult is already ballyhooing about his being 'ultra liberal' - a patriotic guardsman/teacher/advocate for climate, #truth, abortion rights/choice, & tolerance - is a great omen.

Even the bumper stickers are catchy "Harris/Walz". The jokes will write themselves about Drumpf & "Walls". ("I love Walz" - DJT)

Robert Reich: "A terrific choice, on all grounds"

And he calls out #weird too! đź‘Ť! Speaking as a real person who "sees things" (and believes them)... he will call out the crazy. Nicely.

Kamala Harris' statement:

"He grew up in a small town in Nebraska, spending summers working on his family’s farm. His father died of cancer when he was 19, and his family relied on Social Security survivor benefit checks to make ends meet. At 17, he enlisted in the National Guard, serving for 24 years. He used his GI Bill benefits to go to college, and become a teacher. He served as both the football coach and the advisor of the Gay-Straight Alliance.

I share this background both because it’s impressive in its own right, and because you see in no uncertain terms how it informs his record. He worked with Republicans to pass infrastructure investments. He cut taxes for working families. He passed a law to provide paid family and medical leave to Minnesotan families.

He made Minnesota the first state in the country to pass a law providing constitutional abortion protections after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and as an avid hunter, he passed a bill requiring universal background checks for gun purchases.

But what impressed me most about Tim is his deep commitment to his family: Gwen, Gus, and Hope. Doug and I look forward to working with him and Gwen to build an administration that reflects our shared values.

Whether you are a supporter, a volunteer, a donor, a member of our staff or your name is on the ticket: you are part of the people-powered campaign that is going to defeat Donald Trump.

We are going to build a great partnership. We are going to build a great team. We are going to win this election."

Meanwhile, in "OUR House" (G-d Help us if they actually are 'representative' of America!)....
Donald #TrumpVirus celebrated his only "good news" of the day, proof he still owns the #GQP cult.

As they stay stuck on a sharp rusty post of anti-#democracy and assaults of basic rights.

MAGA Mike

Heeeeeere's Mikey! Or as Gaetz calls him, #MAGAMike

So who is this guy installed by Lord StableGenius with the enthusiastic support of #GymJordan, Gaetz, & other #Jan6 seditionists?

New Speaker Mike Johnson’s Long History With The Religious Right

"Come for the Noah's Ark theme park, stay for the relentless efforts to strip women's and LGBTQ+ rights."

Meanwhile, in the merry old #GQP cult of nihilism, division, and (pardoned-now) Bannon's strategic plan for Trumperica....

Shouldn't #GymJordan be disqualified from... anything? - for his level of idiocy today, saying he'd defund Ukraine assistance because "nobody can tell me the objective". Ehhhh?! What is the goal of helping Ukraine survive aggression and threat to its survival? He has no idea?!

1) Can you define "democracy"? Or Russian aggression?

2) He seems not speak to any sane ('woke') people!

3) #Jan6 #sedition ?? Hey, didn't he ignore a Congressional subpoena - and continue breaking the law by not complying some 500+ days later - after his clear role in the both the insurrection & his still-ongoing obstruction and evasion of #truth ? And #law, and #karma, and #accountability.

As Bannon pushes to resume from there, re-installing #TrumpVirus as #cult savior ~"just until we can figure things out". He's pardoned.
What's the excuse in #media for legitimizing and even pushing his latest narrative for his plan for the United States of #Trump? Danger! Danger!

Seen on #Twitter, FWIW. As we know, there's no telling how reliable it is, given the unmediated mess in #Muskville, in terms of #truth

HRC on Hunter

So I checked it out andsee this was definitely not HRC on Twitter (look at the handle) and #DJT's verification check. it's on the #TrumpVirus #disinformatiion & alternative fact platform. Fake Hillary account, but pure Trump vitriol.
"Buckle down", said still-free Bannon. "We have a cancer!" Trump said yesterday at a hate & blame rally. He's right again, like a clock.

PS, on Twitter the real Hillary Clinton does have a pinned post - selling hats: "What about her emails?"

Fun day, fun times ahead. But a lot of people smiling and feeling hope for the 1st time, even without late-nite comedy to "normalize" sanity.

Almost scary when #GQP #Rubio basically decries " #weaponization " of government based on mood of the day. And a colleague worries about what Dems might do in response to "un-woke" companies. Fun fun fun, til Daddy takes tourism away.

Republican Senators from Florida shoot warnings to DeSantis, "Half the tourism that comes to our state comes to visit Disney"

This is 'short & sweet' (just the quotes!) presented as a 'slide show', not a favorite format but it's not "click bait", show itself.

From the other fantasy-land of the 'mo, #Twitter

Anyway... Fantasy #Florida fun... courtesy of Dark Lord #DeathSantis

DeSantis says he's considering adding new taxes and tolls at Disney World to punish the company over its power play

A master class in how to shoot oneself in the face for spite...

#DeathSantis - slayer of Floridians "like nobody's ever seen before", w/ survivors loving him! "Freedom!"

COVID was a hoax. #Education & #Truth are his enemy. Sentient human beings are demonized as"woke".

#MakeAmericaSane [r]
Stop the #GQP /#TrumpVirus "regression towards the mean", very mean. While meaning itself gets 'canceled'. Sad & scary.

What a day to make heads explode,…

Between #TrumpVirus and #MTG in New York, and the cesspool/swamp team of #DeathSantis & #Muskvirus
Missing Trump U? Tired of universities that actually educated? Angry about people who love #truth? Step Right Up

Headline of Sarasota (FL) Observer: “Musk plans for private, new New College” is the headline."
[Img Alt: Photo is of Musk carrying a sink.]

Caption: "Elon Musk said he’s excited to get rid of “everything but the kitchen sink” philosophy to New College"

"DeSantis, saying New College had drifted too far into “woke” ideas, appointed six new board members for the school in early January. The move led to weeks of protests from some students and alumni and brought national political attention to the 110-acre campus on Sarasota Bay.

Musk, 51, paid $1.96 billion for New College - a significant number honoring the year - 1960 - the school was founded, according to a statement."…

"Spaceships and EVs and tweets, and stuff are nice, but higher education, that’s the bomb, man. It has long been a passion of mine."

If this is how the actual RNC does its "research", they're in trouble.

OTOH, throwing out a little nugget of #disinformation to see how/if it "sticks" is so very #GQP

After 4 years of #TrumpVirus spending massive time on his own golf courses, and Twitter, or at his hate rallies (while on the public dime, if he hasn't stolen it yet), they have the brilliant idea to complain that Biden taking a weekend away from WH is in any way suggestive of too little actual work.... Pot, meet Kettle.
