I suppose the bright side is that they still consider being called a fascist a bad thing. If a Republican is president again any time soon, though, I think they’ll really embrace the term.Abcarian: Boo-hoo. Fascist MAGA Republicans are miffed at being called out by President Biden-https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2022-09-04/maga-republicans-biden-speech-save-democracy

@TonyStark"Johnson voted against a $35 cap on insulin; against granting the Department of Health and Human Services the power to negotiate with drug companies; and against a $2,000 limit for seniors’ out of pocket drug costs. He also opposed extending Affordable Care Act subsidies that save more than 200,000 Wisconsinites roughly $800 per month."Way to go, Ron.

"Social Security continued to be the most important antipoverty program in 2021, moving 26.3 million people out of SPM poverty. Meanwhile, refundable tax credits and stimulus payments moved 9.6 million and 8.9 million people out of SPM poverty (Figure 11 and Table B-8)."Election day us coming. Republicans have no problem taking Social Security away.

Chris Sununu called Bolduc a “conspiracy theorist” but said he would support him if he won the Republican U.S. Senate nomination. This in a nutshell summaries what is wrong with the Republican party. No guts. Party over substance and democracy.And that is why we need to vote against the post-democracy party also known as Republicans.GOP establishment suffers big losses in New Hampshire primaries-https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/gop-establishment-suffers-big-losses-new-hampshire-primaries-rcna47653

They pushed and pushed for the special master. Even got the guy they picked. And when he didn't fall in line, but acted like he was supposed to, they want to kick him to the curb. Wow.Judge spares Trump from having to back up claims of planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago-Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by the former president, overruled the special master's directive to soon identify any documents allegedly planted by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/judge-spares-trump-back-claims-planted-evidence-mar-lago-rcna50108

After Lindsay Graham outed the GOP for its plan to make abortion a federal crime, nobody believe Zeldin or anyone like him.___________POLITICO Pro: Zeldin vows he won't mess with abortion rights if elected.

It's weird how a Senator thinks it's part of his duties to overturn a different state's election results. It's nice that the SCOTUS thinks this is weird, too.Lindsey Graham must testify in 2020 election probe, Supreme Court rules-The ruling comes after Graham filed an emergency request to the court arguing that he is shielded from such probes.https://www.axios.com/2022/11/01/supreme-court-lindsey-graham-subpoena

The answer is to vote out of office all Republicans at every level of government."Congressional Republicans, eyeing a midterm election victory that could hand them control of the House and the Senate, have embraced plans to reduce federal spending on Social Security and Medicare, including cutting benefits for some retirees and raising the retirement age for both safety net programs."Republicans, Eyeing Majority, Float Changes to Social Security and Medicare- https://nyti.ms/3Dv2OOi

The midterm elections were a reprieve not a reversal. Democracy will still be on the ballot in the next election and it still needs protecting today.https://wapo.st/3ub3apl

The GOP didn't have the authority to conduct any investigation. Trying to start one without authority doesn't count. If the GOP doesn't know that, the members on these committees should be replaced. It's probably hard to find people with any sense in that party, though.White House to Jim Jordan, James Comer: Sorry, but you have to restart your oversight requests -In the most formal engagement from the administration to date, a top Biden lawyer says record demands must come after the GOP takes their gavels.https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/29/jim-jordan-james-comer-oversight-requests-00075710

@TonyStark Republicans don’t legislate. They’ve shown for a while now that they’re not about governing.In 2017-2019, they had the presidency, Supreme Court and comfortable majorities in both houses of Congress. What did they accomplish with it? A tax cut for the wealthy and corporations… That’s it.Nothing on health care, environment, our decrepit roads and infrastructure, etc.

@JoannaBee The GOP always seems quite zealous to go after people who don't have lobbyists or donor dollars as leverage. Horrible.
