LWV strongly condemns the racist text messages sent after Election Day targeting Black residents in multiple states across the country. These vile messages have no place in our democracy. We stand united against hate & for the protection & civic participation of all communities.

So, I just learned that in the days after the election, Google searches for “What is a tariff and who pays it?”, and “Trump abortion ban”, skyrocketed.
Y’all waited until AFTER the election to understand this shit??
AFTER?
Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Why else would a Russian spy chief be reminding Trump that he has obligations to the people who helped him win?

Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law.
I would know because I wrote the law.
Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.
This is what illegal corruption looks like. cnn.com/2024/11/09/politics/…

When Obama tried to use recess appointments because Republicans were filibustering nominees, not because of their qualifications, but just to block him from filling posts, the Supreme Court slapped him down. Now watch them give Trump a complete greenlight.

Marco Rubio, Trump’s Secretary of State pick, explicitly said yesterday that he would NOT call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Great job to all the protest voters who snubbed Harris over Israel - you guys are really playing 6D chess here.

To recap, the Republican Party has opposed:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Tax increases on corporations & the rich
-The expanded Child Tax Credit
-Student debt relief
Doesn't sound like the party of the working class to me.

Gosh I hope not, but we recently had our first case of paralytic polio in an unvaccinated young man in NY + polio detected in the wastewater. We have to explain to the American people how fragile our nation’s vaccine ecosystem is, placing bad actors in charge is not the way to go

As an immigrant, Elon Musk can't run for president himself, so he spent $130M+ of his own money to buy the presidency for Trump.
Trump will be the one sworn in, but pay attention to who's really pulling the strings.

Attempting to “pay for” making the individual provisions permanent by imposing universal baseline tariffs would cause a net reduction in tax revenues and economic output, while simultaneously increasing the tax burden on lower- and middle-income taxpayers.

I assume all the serious "constitutionalists" in Conservatism, Inc. (many of whom sat out the election) are at least objecting to Trump's attempt to preemptively gut the Senate's advice and consent role, and are urging Republican senators not to go along.
Aren't they?

Trump just said he’s going to eliminate the Department of Education. He didn’t give you a how or what happens with the necessary funding for your children that come department. He just gonna put locks on the doors.
Y’all voted for these next 4 years.

When your candidate lost in 2020 and thousands of people were dancing in the streets in celebration across the nation and all across the world, with bells ringing from the Eiffel Tower...
and then your candidate wins in 2024 and there isn't one public celebration anywhere, not one –that's a good indication you're on the wrong side of history. And definitely not "the majority" of anything.

“I think it’s an unfair, stupid notion that some people, including those in my party, are trying to use as a narrative,” Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright told The Independent.
“The fact of the matter is that Kamala Harris would not be in the position to be the leader of our party for the 100-plus days that she was if it wasn’t for Joe Biden first picking her as vice president,” Seawright continued.
“Harris stepped into her short-lived campaign because of the infrastructure and resources because of what Biden was able to achieve as a candidate and as president,” he said.
Harris took control of Biden’s $95m campaign war chest once she rose to the top of the party’s ticket at the end of July.
Seawright called for an end to the blame game, claiming “nobody wins when the family feuds.” He also rejected the idea that Biden’s initial re-election attempt would taint his legacy.
“Joe Biden brought the country together. He delivered historic results that no one can argue,” he said.
