#KnowNothing#CardiB is too stupid to realize that NOT voting for #Biden is a vote FOR #Trump, and that her boycott of #Election2024 could be her last — She might not get another opportunity to vote EVER.
"Statisticians have debunked the data. Yet the narrative remains unchanged, even by President #Biden. Clearly, the sheer volume of the footage of suffering civilians– all projected by #Hamas, which censors pictures of dead or wounded combatants– has caused us to lose our minds. When we fought in #Afghanistan, #Syria & #Iraq, nobody debated civilian casualties. Yet when it comes to #Israel, it’s all anybody talks about"
"While it isn’t completely useless, it cannot replace overland truck deliveries of food and aid. At most it will supply 150 trucks worth of aid daily, when 500 are needed. It is a PR band aid on the gaping wound of Israeli genocidal blockage of aid to the civilian population"
"The floating pier cost $320 million, which could have fed a lot of Palestinians if the Israelis hadn’t closed off almost all aid truck routes into the Strip"
"Biden's claim that Hamas’s Oct 7 attacks were “driven by ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people" is ahistorical and dangerous. In fact, Jewish history shows that antisemitism is a Western problem"
"Biden’s historically ignorant, wildly antisemitic statements fly in the face of Jewish anti-Zionists, and this dangerous linkage between antisemitism and anti-Zionism ignores the fact that...most Zionists are fundamentalist Christians"
@luckytran This is what a Republican congress does. ⬆️ Every #COVID post from now on should also be tagged #VoteBlue#Vote#Biden The cat is to remind you of how the MAGA views vaccines and the Rs in congress that are happy to let them. Rs want to fund billionaire tax cuts, Dems want to fund #healthcare. #CovidIsNotOver#CatsOfMastodon#GOP
U.S. President Joe Biden is set to give a commencement address this Sunday at Morehouse, a historically Black college in Atlanta that counts Dr. Martin Luther King among its graduates. But the president’s coming speech has sparked consternation from the graduating class. Some students see Biden using Morehouse as a political tool for Black votes in an election year, and others are considering ways to protest his Middle East policies without overshadowing the celebration for their families. NPR has more.
“Morehouse is being used as political cover for Biden. This commencement is taking place on Malcolm X’s birthday. Morehouse is the school that Dr. Martin Luther King went to and we know he came out against Vietnam, which was also a genocidal war. Morehouse wants to blanket itself in this history, but bypass an understanding of it.”

We Risked Our Lives to Treat Patients in Gaza. Now President Biden Must Act to Save Lives
As I think about my colleagues who put their lives at stake to save #Palestinians wounded in #Gaza, the question I must ask is: when will President #Biden force the #Israeli government to stop this slaughter?
The #Republican-led UnitedStates House of
Representatives passed a bill on Thurs that would force President Joe #Biden to send weapons to Israel, seeking to rebuke the Democrat for delaying bomb shipments as he urges Israel to do more to protect #civilians during its war w/ #Hamas.
'The [U.S.] Justice Department on Thursday informed House Republicans that President Joe Biden has formally asserted executive privilege over the audio of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur, a move that DOJ says effectively shields Attorney General Merrick Garland from any criminal exposure as the Republican lawmakers move toward trying to hold him in contempt of Congress."
ABC News reports the Justice Department has already released a full transcript of the interview. The White House believes the audio would be used for "partisan political purposes."
Cross-examination of #MichaelCohen resumes, an opportunity for the defense to poke holes in his testimony & perhaps trip up or provoke the state’s key witness. The questioning of Cohen, #Trump’s fmr fixer, is the beginning of the end of Trump’s #criminal trial, which began April 15 & might conclude before Memorial Day weekend at this pace.
Before entering the courtroom, #Trump potentially violated the #GagOrder forbidding him from talking about prosecutors in the case, other than Bragg. He made what sounded like a reference to Matthew #Colangelo, one of the prosecutors, saying, "a lead person from the #DOJ is running the trial," & baselessly adding, "So #Biden's office is running this trial." Colangelo USED TO work at the Dept of #Justice, & Trump has used similar language to describe him in the past.
#Republicans control the #House by such a slim margin, 217-213, that just 2 defections can sink #legislation even when all members are present — just a few absences can erase their majority altogether. The show of support for #Trump from such a large group meant that for much of Thurs, the GOP handed the majority to #Democrats.
#HouseRepublicans had a vote scheduled for Thurs to rebuke President #Biden for pausing an arms shipment to #Israel & compel his admin to deliver weapons.
The #Republican bill was designed to divide #Democrats & embarrass #POTUS#Biden, & had no chance of passing the #Senate or becoming #law. But w/so many #Republicans off campus demonstrating their fealty to #Trump, they left open the possibility that the party’s own messaging bill gets defeated. Democratic leaders in the #House had advised their members to vote “no,” calling the measure “another partisan stunt by Extreme #MAGA Republicans who are determined to hurt President Biden politically.”
Früher als sonst und auf eigene Faust - US-Präsident Biden und sein Herausforderer Trump haben zwei TV-Debatten vor der Wahl im November vereinbart. Den ersten kleinen Schlagabtausch lieferten sich beide schon ohne Fernsehkameras.

Too many people have no idea what's in store if #Biden doesn't win. Share with your friends, family, and other networks about Project 2025, using this handy-dandy guide from Media Matters:
"I can no longer in good conscience continue to represent this administration amid President Biden's disastrous, continued support for #Israel 's genocide in Gaza."
I'd go so far as to say that electing #Trump might actually strengthen the Palestinian cause in the #US, because then we'd finally have an entire major political party opposed to #Genocide.
