Pretty sure the Dems have a lot more important things they should be worried about. They aren't for some reason but they should be.

Trump endorsing Cuomo by saying you have "no choice" is a hell of a thing from one sexual predator endorsing another.

That is a great idea but we do have to deal with the reality that people are on social media and we can’t ignore it

If you’re seeing a surge of MAGA accounts commenting everywhere, take a closer look. Bot activity has spiked since Saturday evening the goal is to sway tomorrow’s elections. Click on their profiles and you’ll often find the same accounts posting identical comments across hundreds of posts.

Trump appears to be defying the court order. Millions of families across the country are still seeing the message: β€œNO BALANCE FOUND.” Time will tell if the administration ultimately complies.

Two federal judges have ruled that the Trump administration cannot use the government shutdown as a reason to suspend food assistance for 42 million Americans. Yet, as SNAP payments were set to be disbursed,

Also we technically do normally use β€œthey” singular even without the gender identity implementation.

The problem is that the people in power who are potentially able to facilitate protection are probably on that list. Who can even be trusted??

I think there are so many high profile people on these files that too many are trying to keep them locked away.

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.

It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

I am heartened that the Nazis may be imploding the Christian Far Right

But also I am decidedly not thrilled that there are now *enough* Nazis to blow up the Christian Far Right

The level of gaslighting here is astounding β€” more than 170 US citizens have been detained or arrested, but they’re counting on press running on this without fact checking.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

Cuomo says he’ll move to Florida if Mamdani becomes mayor. Mamdani isn’t even mayor yet, and he’s already driving out the criminals!

On the bright side, Argentina’s stock market is doing great today after Trump gave them $40 billion. Meanwhile, Americans are expected to go hungry in just a few days.

Johnson is derelict in his role as Speaker of the House. He is Trump's lackey by keeping the House out of session
He is protecting Trump from a vote on the Epstein files. A no confidence vote should be called against Johnson who is impeding the work of the House of Representatives. πŸ™„

The Senate voted 50–46 tonight to block Trump’s tariffs on Canada, and yesterday it voted to block his tariffs on Brazil. Now we need the house to vote. Where’s the House? Is Johnson still guarding the Epstein files?

When it is 12% of the population needing SNAP that is a system problem not a personal problem.

Congressional MAGA

Many don’t understand how interconnected our society is. This is the poison that is hyperindividualism. It says β€œI can get by on my own, so they should be able to as well”, while ignoring that they themselves depend on others directly and indirectly.

$36 tax dollars per year? Yet how much goes to defense? People who pay taxes don’t even notice $36 a year. $3 a month. How many would happily pay $3 a month to see all the hungry fed?? Raise your hand! βœ‹πŸΌβœ‹πŸΌβœ‹πŸΌ

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

Not to keen on taking advice from one of Jeff Epstein's buddies.

Gates ex-wife cited Bill's relationship to Epstein when she talked about her divorce.
