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!

@ProPublica After the chevron case at (ironic), they can just ignore the epa.

@politico @politics-politico Perhaps the firefighters will for them.

Two weeks to register to vote in Texas.

October 7 is the deadline.

I know it ain't easy on purpose, but please do it and help every Texan get a ballot.

@lolgop as a Texan, I find it continually infuriating that it is SO HARD to register to vote. And I'm a rich white guy. I can't imagine how someone less fortunate or a different color can pull this off easily. I also seem to have a (possibly irrational) fear that my voter registration will magically disappear having registered as a D.
