@rbreich It's sickening that #BobIger has directed #WaltDisneyCo to resume contributions to anti-LGBTQ+ #GOP to appease #DeSantis and a handful of filthy rich fascist Wall Street investors.
#Disney isn't for regular Americans anymore. It's for the rich and the MAGA.
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.

🥥 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. 🥥 #Project2025, #JohnOliver, #GOP, #Election2024, #LastWeekTonight, #Republicans, #TuckersBalls
"These are not small lies. They are not political hyperbole. They are lies that cut to the core of our entire system of self-government. They undermine belief in our democracy and system of justice.
It is one thing for Donald Trump – a pathological liar and sociopath – to conjure up these lies. He is nuts...
But for an entire political party to wittingly repeat these lies amounts to organized treason."
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 #SCOTUS 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 #GOP 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 & #Election2024.
20 Republican attorneys general are demanding that the Supreme Court block individual states like California from suing Big Oil for their climate impacts.
Funny how conservatives only believe in "states rights" for certain issues.
@rbreich #GOP... the same people rallying around a #ConvictedFelon to be their Party nominee who quotes #Hitler and promised to be #DictatorOnDayOne just b/c he slanted the #SCotUS to its current mess... would go "scorched Earth" to protect it.
@rbreich
led by #Alito, the anti-American fascist insurrectionist and the rest of the #GOP puppet #Republicans controlling #SCOTUS have now denied black and native Americans their vote in South Carolina to protect the #FourthReich.
@rbreich
If the #GOP manages to seize power (losing the election is moot as they will refuse to accept the results again) #Trump will only leave in a coffin and will be replaced by his chosen successor (Baron, likely, unless Ivanka gets back on the daddy program).
If #Republicans take power in 2024 there will no longer be real elections and America will fall to fascism.
The Central Bucks school board has made national headlines for its heated meetings and book banning policy. On Tuesday, voters flipped the board from majority Republican to majority Democrat.
President Biden is trailing Donald J.

The thing about these poll is they don't straight up ask you who you're voting for. They ask a bunch of emotionally charged questions about how you feel.
I may hate the DNC & think Biden is too old, but I understand Game Theory & I'm not voting for a #GOP#fascist.
