Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) wasted no time attacking a report claiming President Donald Trump plans to push long-debunked conspiracy theories about Georgia's 2020 election results in an upcoming speech, slamming the commander in chief as a fearful, 'failed president.'

Ossoff and fellow Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) were elected by razor-thin margins in the heated 2020 elections, with both races going to runoffs.

The pair helped Democrats take control of the chamber as Trump also lost the White House to Joe Biden — a defeat the president has yet to accept.

Trump announced on Monday via a Truth Social post that he plans to speak to the nation on Thursday evening, with subsequent reports claiming the president intends to push new allegations about the 2020 election, and the legitimacy of Ossoff and Warnock's victories.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said he is willing to launch a legal challenge to allow him to choose Mitch McConnell’s replacement if the senato

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said he is willing to launch a legal challenge to allow him to choose Mitch McConnell's replacement if the senator cannot return to office.Beshear, a Democrat, told MS NOW's Politics Nation host Rev. Al Sharpton on Sunday that he "might make some news right here" while revealing the potential options he has as governor to replace the 84-year-old, whose health has been the subject of intense speculation for weeks."Our Republican supermajority has been so worried about me being able to potentially support someone before a special election that they passed not one but two laws," Beshear said. "They tried at first to say they could submit a list of three people to me from the Republican Party, and I'd have to pick. Now they say I can't fill a vacancy, but I have to call a special election."

My cardiologist passed away years ago. Instead of going to his sister, who is not a doctor, for my cardiology needs, I looked for someone experienced in the field. The senate should work the same way.

We do not have to keep living like this.

I think we can all agree on this one

“Democratic leaders fear that their party’s growing progressive flank will dash its chances in the midterm elections. That is possible. But — clearly — many Democratic voters no longer buy this argument. There is less reason for them to worry than there was in previous election years. Much of their agenda reflects views that a large number of Americans now hold: disentangling politics and corporate interests, raising taxes on the wealthy, ending military aid to Israel, passing Medicare for All.”

— The Democratic Establishment Had This Coming

Yes, that’s what many Americans want, but if we Democrats do not win the midterms–it’s over. We will become an autocracy. We will NEVER get any of these things.

We told the far left in 2016 that if Trump won, we would lose the Supreme Court for at least a generation. But they couldn’t be bothered to vote for Hillary anyway because she didn’t meet their standards. And we lost the Supreme Court at least for a generation. And with that we also lost Roe v. Wade, the Voting Rights Act, any hope of campaign finance reform or gun control, etc.

We told the far left in 2024 that if they did not vote for Kamala and Trump won, he would start to usher in autocracy and neofascism. But they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for the “lesser of two evils” because of Gaza. So they either didn’t vote or voted third party and Trump won. And he has been engaging in ethnic cleansing of Brown and Black immigrants, building inhumane detention centers (i.e., concentration camps), and created a huge masked federal police force. The GOP has already cut Medicaid and SNAP substantially–but the Medicaid cuts won’t be felt until after the midterms. And the killing continues in Gaza, but now we are also at war with Iran.

We are telling you now that if we lose the midterms it will be OVER. In the next two years, the Trump administration will definitely turn the US into an autocracy and elections will be meaningless. There will be no going back except for revolution. And Americans are way too passive to risk their lives for a revolution.

So don’t listen to us again and see what happens.

Seriously. I’m a social democrat and I want all the things that the left want like universal healthcare. But we need to put up candidates in different districts that can win those districts. In Manhattan a Mamdani can win. And that’s great. But in Georgia, not so much.

So get out of your idealized bubble and get really WOKE because you are sleepwalking into a neofascist state if you keep refusing to vote for candidates that don’t check off all the right (i.e., idealized left) boxes.

Former DOJ lawyer says she was asked to ‘rubber stamp’ a favor for Trump

Former Department of Justice Lawyer Elizabeth Oyer told the Senate Judiciary Committee that two days after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was confirmed as deputy attorney general, he fired her for refusing to restore firearm rights for a convicted domestic abuser and friend of President Donald Trump. Oyer says she was pressured to go along with it, but she refused and was fired from her job.
