It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Virginia Supreme Court clears way for voters to counter GOP gerrymanders The decision restores the referendum and allows election preparations to move forward immediately.

Good news!

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map β€” clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

so great to live in a time when Republicans would rather allow a new and illegal war because they’re embarrassed to admit their President is a paedophile

I am hopeful that the war in Iran will bring needed democratic change to … the United States of America.

Now that the Supreme Court ruled the tariffs unlawful, how are you planning to spend your government refund?

Personally, I'm running kinda low on Corn Nuts & sugarless peanut butter cups. πŸ˜‹

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 β€” mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

I’ll just be blocking all the β€œYou’d better be nice to me or I’m not gonna vote” people. The privilege necessary to hold your vote hostage is astounding, and I don’t have time for it.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

US Citizen, Ruben Ray Martinez, was shot 3 times through the driver's side window & killed on South Padre Island in Texas by Homeland Security Investigators while celebrating his 23rd birthday on March 15th, 2025.

This DHS & #ICELawlessness must stop.

Remember his name: Ruben Ray Martinez

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.
