The Trump admin has treated the people of Portland like enemy combatants. These tactics—like cell phone cloning to spy on protestors—are unacceptable in America. We need a full accounting of what was done & those who authorized it must be held accountable

The FBI just issued a warning about foreign actors spreading disinformation about 2020 results. Left unsaid is that POTUS is spreading the same disinformation — about voter fraud, "rigged" results, and other false claims that delegitimize the outcome.

 

A bizarre and, frankly, deeply disturbing ad from the Russia-controlled RT network shows a deep-faked Trump joining the channel as an anchor. The video superimposes Trump’s face onto a\ body and plays real clips of him lavishing praise on “amazing” Russia.

 

Mike Bloomberg has raised over $16M to pay the outstanding court fees and fines for 32,000 Black and Latino former felons in Florida so that they can regain their voting rights. Now this is what I’m talking about.

.@MorningConsult has us statistically tied with @LindseyGrahamSC. We've been neck-and-neck with Sen. Graham for months now. This race is real and it is winnable. We didn't come this far to let up now. Keep fighting.

 

Whitehouse points to millions in anonymous donations to the Judicial Crisis Network for political campaigns on SCOTUS nominees, asks "what do they expect in return?"

 

Never forget: Four years before Trump wouldn’t release his taxes, Romney refused to release *his.* And there were... other similarities. Put it that way.

 

Dr. Fauci said he didn't want to give a grade to @realDonaldTrump on handling the virus. He said look at the numbers and make up your own mind. Here are the numbers --200k dead, 7 million infected. Worst numbers in the world. Give him a grade.

 

Dr Fauci throws cold water on Trump’s boasts that a #COVID19 vaccine is imminent

This weekend, we raised over $700,000. That is 3x what Senator @CindyHydeSmith raised in all of Quarter 2. Now, a new poll has us just 1 point away from her. We can do this. Can you please donate $10 to keep up the momentum?

 

McConnell is trying to make the Court fight seem a fait accompli. Fighting back is the best course because: 1. You never know what can happen if the public rises up 2. Pressing these Rs makes them less likely to win in Nov 3. It builds resolve to respond with court reform in '21

 

Trump’s continued attack on our election remains the most shocking thing to come out of the mouth of a president

 

Corporate PACs tied to Walmart, Amazon, BlueCross BlueShield, Southwest Airlines and more have all made contributions to a Tennessee state lawmaker who had used social media to amplify and promote the QAnon conspiracy theory

Most of @newtgingrich wives graduated from extramarital affairs with Newt who has a decidedly “anti-Catholic” lifestyle that should inhibit him from hurling “anti-Catholic” at @KamalaHarris. But Newt is the most hollow of Republican hollow men.

Trump says the November 3 election will "decide whether we end the pandemic" or not, meaning that re-electing him will end the pandemic that has caused 200,000 confirmed deaths under him and is not close to ending.

 

Putin owns the man in OUR White House. Let's kick both out November 3.

 

“There are two people Putin pays,” said Kevin McCarthy, “Rohrabacher and Trump.” He backed Trump anyway. You know who Putin doesn’t pay? @KimMangone, McCarthy’s bold opponent . Watch her first TV ad here:

 

No, @LindseyGrahamSC, we wouldn't "do the same." We're not lying, dishonorable hypocrites like you. That's why we're sending @harrisonjaime to replace you. Click here to help #RemedyPAC unseat this sad excuse for a Senator:

@USPS had a plan to send 5 cloth masks to every U.S. household in April. The president rejected that plan. Six months later, nearly 200,000 lives have been lost and he still doesn’t have a national strategy.

 

Putin attacked our election in 2016, and he’s doing it again now. Trump refuses to call him out or said an unkind word about him. Imagine an American President who was afraid to call out Osama Bin Laden in the days after 9/11.

 

Zelensky at #UN: Russia’s aggression proves that humankind has not learned lessons of World War II

 

Trump tells his story about how he asked Blackstone chief and Wall Street titan Steve Schwarzman about Hunter Biden's dealings in China and Schwarzman agreed it was shady; Schwarzman's spokesperson has said he has never spoken with Trump about either Joe Biden or Hunter Biden.

 

The repeated ignoring of congressional committees is why we need to pass our inherent contempt bill that would authorize up to $100,000 in fines for witnesses who ignore congressional subpoenas.
