Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

The Constitution gives states the power to determine the time, place and manner of elections. Only Congress can change the rules for federal elections. The White House has no role to play in any of this.

Itโ€™s ludicrous that we need a dead manโ€™s emails to validate what over a thousand women have already lived, spoken, and survived. How loud do women have to be before the world finally listens?

Thatโ€™s not ignorance! Thatโ€™s a choice!

HITLER Didnโ€™t Start with Camps.

He started with:

. Make Germany Great Again
. Banning Books
. Targeting the Press
. Blaming Immigrants
. Creating Enemies from       Neighbors 
. Defunding the Arts
. Stoking Fear of Outsiders 
. Demonizing Educators 

SOUND FAMILIAR? OR SHOULD I TYPE LOUDER?

Iโ€™m done funding cruelty. Target cuts DEI, Amazon bankrolls this administration, and Home Depot lets ICE terrorize workers on their lots.
My money stays with small shops and people-first businesses. How about you? #WeAintBuyingIt

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts?

Guess what? #WeAintBuyingIt Nov 27โ€“Dec 1, instead we are putting our money where are values are.

County resolution calling for dump closure

County resolution calling for dump closure

Resolution from Rensselaer County (NY) Legislature, but mums the word from DEC and Gov. Holding firm on their socially irresponsible decision to place a landfill next to a school and to consistently continue its operation in spite of all the documented opposition from all areas of the community.

New videos posted at stopdunn.org. This 3 minute plus video shows the school and the landfill in October.

How could the State ever think such a location would be safe for the kids going to that school? Go to stopdunn.org to see more videos.

How did this happen? The song โ€œMoney Changes Everythingโ€ by Cindy Lauper sums up a lot of it!

Dump truck dumping questionable refuse/demolition byproducts into a big hole next to the buildings of the city schools...

Donโ€™t you want to know what is going into the air from the Dunn Landfill? It canโ€™t possibly be good to be breathing it. Since the State of New York is supposed to protect people you have ask why they donโ€™t do the testing to find out what is inhaled by the kids in the school. Here is one answer $$$

Trump and his Republican flying monkeys have put America in imminent danger.
All Trumpโ€™s latest economic polling numbers are in the toilet!

And heโ€™s on a World tour why we suffer!
This is on the GOP!
