Chairwoman Repass is 100% on the money. The super majority of KS Republicans do not represent the will of the people. It’s past time to get our message out to the people.

Our hyper-partisan supermajority has overstayed its welcome. Voters across the nation have proven they’re sick of extremism.

#Threads blew up for a simple reason: the community that built twitter was dying for an alternative so we could escape the blood diamond baby’s extremism & pay-for-play model. It’s not complicated.
Elon can keep his conservative hellscape. It’s basically #TruthSocial 2.0. now.

Holy shit. The June jobs report is jaw-dropping. Private sector jobs INCREASED by 497,000 which is 270,000 MORE than expected. Annual pay also rose at 6.4%. Folks, this is Bidenomics working in real time and it’s simply amazing. Thank you, President Biden.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) insisted that the economy is "worse off" now, as compared to three years ago.
Fortunately, that's a knowable thing — and the claim is demonstrably wrong. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…

By freeing millions of Americans from the crushing burden of student debt:
More homes would have been bought.
More businesses would have been started.
More couples would have had the confidence to start families.
The Republican elected officials who sued us blocked all of it.

And while I'm generally not here to talk about the past, I can't at this moment resist pointing out that ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF PEOPLE HAD VOTED FOR THE EMAIL LADY.

BREAKING: Taylor Taranto had guns, 400 rounds of ammunition in his van when he was arrested near Barack Obama’s home.
Donald Trump posted Obama’s address on social media. Taranto reposted it, then showed up.

@RepAdamSchiff is right, of course. Without presidential support, unpacking the Court by expanding its size stands no chance. But preserving democracy will require winning the House and widening our Senate margin as well as giving Biden a second term. Then we’ll see.

Expanding the size of the Supreme Court isn’t extreme or unprecedented — but the opinions of this Court certainly are.

Hey, @AllThatandMoore, explain the correlation between donated 1990s era military equipment and student loan forgiveness. We’re all kinda confused.

I don't know what to tell you guys. We have to expand the Court. If we don't expand the Court, no liberal policy will be allowed to exist for the rest of our lives. That's why Republicans stole the court, that's why rich people pay for justices.
Govern yourselves accordingly.

Because some people couldnt be bothered to vote or voted 3rd party in 2016, we will suffer for generations to come under oppressive conservative rule.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court said it will consider whether a 30-year-old federal law that prohibits people under domestic violence restraining orders from possessing guns violates the Second Amendment. cbsn.ws/44pX44h

Students should have simply created a shell company, applied for a PPP loan and paid off their student loans with it.

Today’s Supreme Court is yet another reason to never, ever skip an election.
Register to fucking vote. Then do it.
