NEW: Republicans added a slew of party insiders to the North Carolina Board of Elections, including a former aide to the legislator behind the state’s new gerrymander. The appointments mark the latest sign of the GOP’s board takeover as it prepares for next year’s election.

Sickening..

It’s not right to call Trump “Hitler”.
Clearly, they are both evil, but Hitler was smarter.

Thinking of my dear departed husband today. He was a fly fisherman and frequented our streams and rivers, weather permitting in search of Steelhead, the Fishermen were out today.. the fish have moved into our Grand River. Sansa and I walked the trail. #Ohio

It’s going to get worse before it gets better.. I expect all kinds of evil emanating from the monsters running this shit show..
Watch out .. the revenge Trump promised is just getting started. This is one campaign promise he’ll try to keep.

Personally, I think Melania might have had an “Epstein” visa, but what do I know? 🤣

Thankful Democrats seem to have made a good showing everywhere. 🙏🏻

Republicans: What Capitol attack?

Step up my donations to the Food Bank, work more hours helping..

Well their policies are leading to fewer jobs. So it’ll be easy to stop working and then of course, no spending.

Raping kids? I think that’s what the rich, famous, and politically connected do in the USA where Mike Johnson shut the doors of the House of Representatives rather than #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

In the USA we just run up the deficit spending with huge amounts for ICE and Military while cutting taxes for the wealthiest.
Meanwhile people don’t get healthcare and can’t eat.

US accused of threatening EU diplomats during bid to kill green shipping rules Negotiators at shipping talks in London were told both they and their countries could be punished unless they voted with the U.S.

Omg😱

Probably edited out his most incoherent replies.

Willoughby, Ohio event canceled due to #ICE arresting performers.
Unbelievable

Feeling sad.. I wanted the Blue Jays to win!😢

Doesn’t matter.. some poor people think the Democrats did it.

I fed immigrants today..,some may have been undocumented!
IDK. ..not one person there deserved to go hungry..
So is this now a crime?
The Mar a Lago Gatsby Ball was criminal!
#FuckTrump

Good Night all!

Nice little protest to call out Rep. Dave Joyce ( R- OH 14) in Mentor,
Ohio . We do this weekly. Dave still hasn’t had a real in person TownHall
for us. He’s getting paid to do nothing while supporting #Project2025.

He’s despicable.

As part of the Project 2029 agenda, can we make restoration of #VotingRights and Outlaw disproportionately drawn Maps period!?

So Fair Districts in #Ohio just won’t be happening. Democrats should have at least 6-7 districts that favor their candidates, instead we get 3!

JD Vance’s half-brother, who is running for mayor of Cincinnati, is facing questions about where he actually lives and being accused of voter fraud, one of the very issues he’s running on.

Voter fraud…from…NOT an immigrant.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

This is the actual face the opposition to ICE. Thank you, Rev. Black for your conviction and courage.
