Unhinged GOP Rep Ken Buck lies and says Google changed 15 million votes from trump to Biden. To be clear Google didn’t change any votes let alone 15 million. Republicans have completely lost it. Let’s make this viral. Via @lawindsor

I am deeply honored to lead a Congressional delegation of many friends of our beloved late Congressman John Lewis to honor his beautiful and saintly life. With the christening of the USNS John Lewis, America is honoring John Lewis’s life and leadership with a fitting tribute.
May the USNS John Lewis remind all who see it of the goodness and courage of John Lewis, and may it be an inspiration as we seek to carry on his mission: to build a future of liberty and justice for all. Read my full statement here:https://t.co/TVhYSsjXQB
I thought I wanted to read the books about the last days of the Trump presidency, but I can’t bring myself to do it. I cannot stomach the cowardice of people who KNEW HOW BAD IT WAS AND REMAINED SILENT.

Her reaction to the word she spelled immediately before was just as big as for the champion word. She was such a pleasure to watch. Congratulations, Zaila! #Speller133#SpellingBee#TheBeeIsBack

You worked for Trump when this mad dash to the exit was planned. It’s all on you, Bucko. You not only lost it, but your dignity & credibility is as empty as Baghram’s PX.

◻️ 2021 Scripps Spelling Bee champ ◻️ Appeared in a commercial with Steph Curry ◻️ Holds three Guinness World records for dribbling multiple basketballs simultaneously
“For spelling, I usually try to do about 13,000 words [per day], and that usually takes about seven hours or so,” the home-schooled teen told New Orleans paper the Times-Picayune.
“We don’t let it go way too overboard, of course. I’ve got school and basketball to do.”
The losses here are staggering. More than half a million Brazilians have died with Covid-19, the second highest death toll worldwide, behind only the United States. Experts here predict their country is on course to overtake the US.
How did it come to this, in a middle-income country, with an established system for vaccinating against diseases? For many, responsibility rests with Brazil’s far-right President, Jair Bolsonaro.
“He could have helped everybody take the right measures,” says Cida, who has an unwavering voice, and tight grey curls. “He did the complete opposite. He didn’t have respect for the people. It’s really revolting.”
Save the date: The sanctions hearing in Michigan against Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and other pro-Trump attorneys who filed frivolous election lawsuits has been scheduled for July 13.
We're running up against an urgent deadline for our democracy. The For the People Act must pass by the end of this month to take effect before next year's midterms, so join the nationwide #DeadlineForDemocracy movement to save our democracy: https://t.co/cULeaueyK6pic.twitter.com/sXjbMCixxf

Everyone at Fox had to get vaccinated before they were allowed back into the studio. They ain't working from home anymore, so yeah, all those people on air, telling their viewers that the vaccine is dangerous, have definitely been vaccinated.
When we judge white people for voting for the guy who thinks Hitler did some good things and that Mexicans are rapists, we’re judging you on the content of your character, not the color of your skin.
Ah, Washington: where Republicans feel it’s normal to call me a “f—ing b—“ and stalk me at work, but when I calmly factcheck a Sen’s ahistorical, specious arguments upholding an unjust loophole it’s “I’m so sorry she’s doing that to you man, no one should have to go through that” https://t.co/8gAlkqbZmQ

People ask why I don't support bipartisan compromise on voting rights. There is no middle ground between the arsonist and the firefighter. That is why.
I am not handling this very well…Am i the only one? This assault on black people from all sides…has taken its toll…i am trying to not let the gloom engulf me…i have stopped watching MSNBC..
i have heard folks say that Biden is not doing enough…however i do not believe that he can be consumed by the gloom…This is on ALL Americans who believe in Democracy to get involved…
PA GOP Sen Mastriano (a future PA GOV candidate) is trying to conduct a similar audit sham that Arizona is conducting fortunately we have a DEM Gov and SOS…who have warned the counties that if they comply with turning over the ballots and machine to Mastriano…they would be compromised and would have to be replaced and that the state will not reimburse them for the cost…
Rep. Bennie Thompson, chair of the Jan. 6 select committee, is not wasting time getting started. Thompson told @MSNBC the first hearing will be held on July 21 or 22 — even if Kevin McCarthy hasn't named his picks for the committee by then.
I’m old enough to remember when Lindsey Graham illegally pressured Georgia election officials to throw away a lot of votes. How is he not in prison yet?
Well, actually not everyone. Some people around him did urge him to do incompetent and nutty things, either because they were themselves incompetent and nutty, or because they were trying to curry his favor.
With so many folks getting together with family and friends, there’s a lot to celebrate this summer. Here’s a playlist of songs I’ve been listening to lately—it's a mix of old and new, household names and emerging artists, and a whole lot in between. pic.twitter.com/xwTPun9wsw

Yup. They are all a 24×7 distraction peddling cabal.
Lie. Lie. Lie. The thugs have normalized it thanks to 3rd rate 4th estate who just spread the lies.
