260 million Americans will experience temps above 90F this week.

Now's a good time to remind you that Trump's inner circle devised a 900+ page plan that includes gutting the EPA, halting clean energy projects, and burning more fossil fuels.

It's called Project 2025. Look it up.

🥥 For a scary -- & entertaining -- preview of GOP plans for a second Trump administration, see the June 16 episode of John Oliver's show, "Last Week Tonight."
Oliver goes into depth about the right wing's Project 2025 and the people behind it.
Keep in mind, these are the people who'll be pulling the strings should they put their deranged orange tub of guts back in the White House. 🥥

The Supreme Court just overturned a federal ban on bump stocks, the device that let the Las Vegas shooter injure more than 500 people and kill 60 within minutes.

80% of Americans supported the ban — even Trump!

SCOTUS has once again defied the will of the people.

You know what, tho? Instead of moaning abt it's decisions, what's needed is laws reflecting & protecting the will of the people that can't knock down.

Which requires a trifecta in November - House, Senate & WH all in the hands of Dem majorities.

The wisdom of relying on elections to solve the SCOTUS prob & other generated disasters is becoming ever more clear.

We need better &/or new laws.

And we need to include that fact in all discussions abt SCOTUS & .

It's easy to fool rightwingers. That's pretty obvious given how Trump is able to endlessly hoodwink them.

It's foolish not to take advantage of this gullibility. In the words of Steve Bannon, "flood the field with shit" by creating an endless torrent of pretend Pride Month or "woke" tie-ins to products. How about a MAGA cap with a realistic looking rainbow visor?

The main issue is democracy vs. dictatorship.
Sorry, but I don't care about anybody's single issue as an excuse to waste precious votes on some impotent 3rd party. My hashtag for such candidates:
NOTE: For the "Biden's too old crowd" – Trump turns 78 next week and he leads a notably unhealthy lifestyle. 12 Diet Cokes a day and cheeseburgers isn't great for somebody one-third his age.

My Polish grandmother would say to Trump: "God will punish you!"

Franklin Graham is a twit who sold out to the Antichrist years ago. He will continue as Trump's apologist in Hell.

Office Hours: If Trump is found guilty, should Biden emphasize the guilty verdict or focus on abortion and democracy instead? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-if-trump-is-found-guilty?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@rbreich

should talk about economics (a kitchen-table topic where he has done so well), abortion, and democracy... but keep throwing in references to his crimes. Put far more words to the important topics, but don't let his crimes go unmentioned.

Trump's voters will vote for him if he is in a prison cell for mass murder, caught on video.

The GOP loyals will vote for him whether they like him or not.

will not air complete sentences that criticize their orange Messiah, but will mention jabs and name-calling.

As usual, the will come down to the independent and swing voters. Focus on what they care about, then branch out from there. Repeated jabs at the criminal are all that's needed.

The news media has been covering the ad nauseum. Anyone with half a brain who cares knows that Trump is a criminal. needs to NOT be just another part of that white noise.

Nice!
But check out the ad which Robert De Niro did for Biden. It's featured in this segment from MSNBC.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjcK4yrM1J0

If anybody from the Biden campaign is reading this, why does it take FOREVER to upload ads at YouTube on your channel there? Relying on Twitter/X leaves out a lot of people who have quit that platform.

"Toad" is not a real man. He looks much more extraterrestrial than many of the species on Star Trek.
