BREAKING: The FCC has fined right-wing activists Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman a massive $5,134,500 for their illegal robocall scheme in Michigan that tried to intimidate voters in the 2020 election. This is the largest robocall fine in FCC history.

Who cares about former guys. Seriously why media bringing that up how trash is the media. Guess he’s loosing money w the pullout probable. Financial connection w defense contractor. Why isn’t the media ask these guys who’s complaining about the pullout.
Losing 63 court cases, having your AG & cyber chief declare there was no widespread fraud, getting bounced by SCOTUS, your lawyer’s license suspended, & multitudes officials in your own party debunking conspiracies SHOULD be stopping points for the big election lie. And yet.
Honored to be officially sworn in as New York's 57th Governor.

LSU will require all guests at Tiger Stadium who are 12 and older to provide proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test result from the last 72 hours to get into the stadium. Policy goes into effect the day of their first home game. Your move, @AlabamaFTBL.
Has any of them issued a statement as to why they voted against it? Have they been pressed to answer? Has the media even been bothered enough to notice? @CNN@ABC@FoxNews@NBCNews@CBSNews
The media is too busy trying to get President Biden. They are still trying to figure out why the exit from Afghanistan isn’t going as smoothly as checking out from a 5 star Marriott hotel on the shores of Florida … who knows🤷♀️…?
Sometimes I wonder if they miss PP.
I used to watch CNN but found them to be hugely disappointing with their coverage of Afghanistan . Still like Brianna Keilor. But most of the rest like Tapper/ Blitzer and Cuomo have been a let down lately.
I’m reminded of when Obama’s policy response to Ebola was universally panned on cable, his numbers slid sharply, then it turned out the response worked out just fine and no television network ever mentioned it again.
amk thanks for posting in the dead of night. Don’t know what it’s like where you are, but finally can go for a long walk after weeks of chronic smoke and heat…happy….still gushing.

Through her visit here, the Vice President will reaffirm the United State's commitment to a strong, prosperous, and independent Vietnam, as well as an open, healthy, and resilient Indo-Pacific region. https://t.co/eeKeesNsbh
On the 3-year anniversary of Senator John McCain’s death, @VP Harris visited the marker where the plane of then-Lt. Cmdr. John McCain was shot down in 1967.

Speaker Pelosi:
Floor Speech in Support of H.R. 4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021
“Today, the House will pass H.R. 4, the John Lewis – John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to combat this anti-democratic tide. This bill restores the power of the Voting Rights Act, as President Johnson said, ‘one of the most monumental laws in the entire history of American freedom.’ Any diminishment of the Voting Rights Act is a diminishment of our democracy. In America, the right to vote must never, ever be compromised.
Again, I thank Representative Sewell, Mr. Butterfield, Marcia Fudge, Jerry Nadler, Zoe Lofgren and so many who – Mr. Clyburn. So many made this day possible.
And let me pause to salute our beloved conscience of the Congress, the late John Lewis, whose words guide us: ‘The vote is precious,’ he said. ‘It is almost sacred.’
And, ‘It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy.’
Speaker Pelosi:
Floor Speech on the Rule to Advance Build Back Better Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill
& John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act
“The Build Back [Better] agenda is one that is liberating for families, not just women.
Moms and dads with child care, with a Child Tax Credit, with universal pre-K, with home health care, with workforce development so that not only are we building the physical infrastructure of America. We are building the human infrastructure of America to enable many more people to participate in the success of our economy and the growth of our society. It does so with equity: 40 percent justice provision that will be in there. Now, it remains for to us work together – work with the Senate to write a bill that preserves the privilege of 51 votes in the Senate. So, we must work together to do that in a way that passes the House and passes the Senate, and we must do so expeditiously, expeditiously….”
“Passing this rule paves the way for the Building Back Better – the Building Back Better Plan, which will forge legislative progress unseen in 50 years, that will stand for generations alongside the New Deal and the Great Society.
This legislation will be the biggest and perhaps most [consequential] initiative that any of us have ever undertaken in our official lives.

My 18yo vaxxed son tested positive for covid today. He got it from a virus denier who came to work w 102fever. He spent wkend w my parents,1 in bad health. I nanny for a 4yo girl and have a pregnant niece. 1 person's actions led to 15 people being quarantined. Be responsible!😡
Update: Yesterday was another bad day after Monday was a tiny bit better. So far today, it is a better day. And, it would be even better had I gotten more sleep. Maybe slept 3 hours. Kept waking up with my body drenched in sweat. My hair, my gown, entire body drenched. Definitely has a way of interrupting ones sleep! Hubby tested both of us. We are both negative.
Yesterday, the House passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act that will help Americans everywhere make their voices heard. Now the Senate needs to follow the House’s lead. Call your Senators and ask them to do the right thing. Our democracy is on the line. https://t.co/QeADGFObbx

Absolute insanity. SCOTUS’ conservative majority repeatedly cleared away lower court injunctions so that Trump could implement his immigration agenda. Now it lets a single district court judge dictate foreign policy for the Biden administration. This is beyond outrageous. https://t.co/APUvqydAfh

Gail, Muir is to busy devoting half of his show to Afghanistan!!!
That’s the reason for my tweet
Why is Biden admin allowing this disgusting war profiteering?
no sisters. no rafa. no fedex. gonna be a snoozefest.
Obama’s and Clinton’s warned and warned and warned. Yet how many latinos, hispanics whatev voted for the racist and the racist party.
Fire the assholes.
They need a refresher in the meaning of ‘to serve and protect’.
Disbarment? I will believe it when I see it. Hard actions speak better than harsh words.
so, why aren’t the airlines doing it too?
the typical arrogant entitlement of ugly amurkans
Now why isn’t MSM saying this. Someone commented (somewhere) that journalists are supposed to investigate.
Why were the ppl waiting till the very end? smh.
the msm is as corrupt as the rethugs.
The CD is deafening.
THREAD…
Exactly. Why let all traitorous thug’s corrupt policies still stand?
so the victim is under suspicion.
