I voted blue, and I'm very disappointed in the USA. I will not comply in advance

NEW: Nearly 104,000 mail-in ballots were rejected in 2024 because they arrived too late. A new USPS policy initiated under Trump’s first Postmaster General could lead to millions more being rejected in 2026 — and it’s Trump’s rural voters who’ll be impacted most.

They just dumped the asbestos- and lead-laden White House rubble on a golf course near the Potomac since dumps require certification that rubble doesn't contain those harmful elements. They're gonna bury it to create golf course mounds and it's expected to contaminate our groundwater aquifers here.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

A whole bunch of Americans died in a field in PA trying to stop Osama Bin Laden’s cronies from destroying the WH.

That asshole just destroyed the WH for him.

The terrorists must be so pleased.

TACO accomplished what Al Qaeda could not,

while all the mouth breathing “patriots” let him do it.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

The company brought Junior in right after the election as part owner. They just won the largest drone motor contract awarded by the Pentagon.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

“SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”

RIGHT ON 👊🏽

I voted YES on 50 (a temporary measure to level the playing field) and my ballot was already counted.

Join me— remember to vote, and tell your friends and neighbors to do the same. #VoteYesOnProp50

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

This weekend is my Costco run weekend.

Will be loading up a cart for my local food pantry.

If you are able, please do the same.

The need is enormous.

It's not a pipe dream if you vote. But you have to be registered.

The older I get and am still part of the workforce, and the more "radicalized" I become with said age, the more I groan each year when it's "time to pick our electives" with benefits at work.

Healthcare needs to be disconnected from jobs. People should be free to switch jobs and not have that

Since May, DOJ has been pressing states to hand over their voter rolls — including sensitive personal information for every individual voter. The DOJ claimed in letters to states it wants the information to ensure states are complying with federal voter laws.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.
