Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
More of this, less of bombing other countries

Corporations:
I don't care what your incompetent consultants tell you; none of us wants to answer scores of questions to evaluate your service.
Ask *one* question to score our experience 1 to 10. Then leave us alone.
I'm not paid to spend half an hour helping you to run your business.
Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.
7/7. It's worth dwelling on this point. It’s hard for Americans to process that their hard right politics is in large measure a Russian and Hungarian import — intellectually and also financially. We should take advantage of the defeat of Orbán to let this basic fact sink in.

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.
Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.
look, I may not approve of Donald Trump bombing Iran's civilian infrastructure, but he is our president and I will defend to the death his right to be removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and chucked straight the fuck into some hellhole prison
I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.
The City of Pittsburgh just passed legislation banning cooperation with ICE.
The vote was unanimous.
🎉🎉🎉
Marge calls for Trump to be removed.
A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.
In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.
Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
How the fuck am I supposed to work when the president is threatening to murder millions of my fellow humans tonight?
Say it again for the people pretending not to hear:
you don’t get to blame ghosts of presidents past.
There is only one president right now and this is his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad mess. 👇
Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.
We’re just weeks into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.
Everything is for sale.
Tyranny cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to it.
Next Saturday, on the third No Kings Day, we will proclaim our refusal to submit.
We will reaffirm that America Belongs to us. Some thoughts...

When Iranian news is more honest than American news, if a bit repetitive.
🎯
As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
Does this mean that someone in the administration is walking around in agony because his shoes are too small?
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.
