Tell Congress: Demand that Trump FCC Chair Brendan Carr Resign Contact Congress today!

After the garbage CBS pulled with Stephen Colbert and James Talrico, itโ€™s more evident than ever that Brendan Carr must resign or be fired.

It only takes a minute to urge your representatives to raise their voice about it. Do it here:

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein filesโ€”even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

These articles are part of a campaign to take down Gov. Moore with stories sourced by โ€œvibes.โ€ The Governor is just fine.

(Btw ask about his Dadโ€™s alleged role in a violent Klan rally in Queens or about his housing discrimination).

Itโ€™s dumb and we see it.

Teacher Killed in Crash After Man Fled in Car From ICE, Police Say

I understand MAGAs have no interest in how laws work until they affect them, but the rest of us do: we need to know if ICE engaged in a pursuit, and if so whether this man was wanted for a status offense or serious crime.

If the former, ICE caused this.

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.

This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her sonโ€™s side as he died from cancer.

Trump keeps lying by saying that โ€œWeโ€™re the only country in the world that has mail-in ballots,โ€ even though 34 countries & territories allow mail-in voting.

Trump will never accept defeat in the House or Senate & he'll blame his loss on phony mail-in-ballot fraud & SCOTUS will back his lie.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.

Trump: โ€˜There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!โ€™ "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," wrote Trump, who is not a lawyer.

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution.

Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This wasn't just an attempted murder. It was an attempted assassination.
