No doubt. Republicans are pure bullshit. Fine when they win, big whiny babies when they donโ€™t. Like the most annoying spoilt toddler youโ€™ve ever had to deal with

I saw earlier today some right wing source claiming theyโ€™d found all the ineligible voters in Milwaukee. I think they will try to contest the election. Which is what republicans do!

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Itโ€™s the truly despicable, but intelligent people pushing papers in front of him to sign - the hundreds of groups that helped create the Heritage Foundations Project 2025. Thatโ€™s whatโ€™s happening - Trump is a fool, and we see it daily. What heโ€™s putting in action is Project 2025.

Brad Schimel is lying about abortion!

Behind closed doors, he says he'll ban it.

Susan Crawford will uphold the freedoms that Wisconsinites hold dear.

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp' Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to โ€œdrain the swampโ€ of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

His Russian handlers call him KRASNOV. Heโ€™s going to attack Iran. Bet on it. He will move on Iran as the economy crashes and he hopes we havenโ€™t seen this movie before. The war will distract from the failed economy and everyone will be expected to support their Commander in Chief in a time of war.

We Don't Care About You The signals that unplugging the CFPB sends

My profession is mortgage brokerage and I've done it for over 20 years.

When you read National Mortgage Professional magazine, consider that it's by consumer finance pros, for other mortgage pros.

Amongst many, this line stands out:

"Annihilating the CFPB should be unthinkable."

Ten Things We Can All Do to Protect Democracy From Marc | The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy.

6. Beware of false attacks

Bondi is an election denier. Patel has an enemies list. Trump has promised retribution. When a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work.

I pointed out something similar a few weeks ago, but beyond just mocking the media for their stupid complicity here, these articles should be a direct refutation of the admin's claims that "The American People Voted For This."

Because they literally promised they weren't going to do this.

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health.

I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.
