@fulelo This effing sucks :(

All done

Hi there types following our . We're rebooting in a few minutes for some maintenance!

@NewsDesk @Vox Help me learn more here - I thought recess appointments were only valid during the recess, no?

@politico @defense-politico That’s approaching dark Brandon move!

@politico @politics-politico That’s a bit on the nose - let’s tone down the “war” rhetoric please. Peaceful resistance and action through the courts is how we survive these next four years.

If the USA votes for Trump.

@Nonilex @lisamelton That was some seriously fucked up comments he made.

We’re fighting hard to restore the rights of women across America, and to defend access to reproductive health care.

The American people must keep making their voices heard – these laws do not represent our nation.

Your voice will have a final say.

Trump says he could have prevented the Civil War from happening if he was the president instead of Lincoln. This is probably true, as Trump would absolutely have been a slave owner.

@ElectionCentral @NewsDesk @the-senate-ElectionCentral I feel like the future of our society relying on whether a senator from Montana lies is … very on brand for US

The Inflation Reduction Act lowered costs for millions of Americans through lower taxes, caps on drug costs, and lower utility bills.

Republicans in Congress still want to repeal it, but @VP and I will keep fighting to give people more breathing room.

@politico @defense-politico That is a bit … odd. not everything made in china is going to be tied intricately to the government.

@ElectionCentral @NewsDesk @2024-white-house-ElectionCentral Let’s all pray this never happens

@ProPublica That’s…an approach 🧐

@thurrott Ability to turn of Shorts? Yeah, didn’t think so, will keep wishing though :)

@theintercept stop saying "falsely" it's a lie. Falsely claimed, untruth, etc - these are placating words. He lied. Say it.

Since Hurricane Helene made landfall, there have been false claims and misinformation regarding the federal assistance available to survivors, from former President Trump, Congressional Republicans, and others.

These claims are not true. 🧵

@Salon @NewsDesk @news-politics-Salon The courts will hold. The lawyers for D side are excellent.

@dangillmor Bullies and the uneducated are ripe for scammers.

@ProPublica The courts will hold (I pray)

@politico @politics-politico What the actual fuck politico

@DigitalTrends @ai-artificial-intelligence-DigitalTrends Still loving my snapdragon elite. Battery is amazing and while I’m missing a few needed apps, it just feels different being on ARM!
