A couple of books for those confused as to why people would knowingly and eagerly vote against their own self interests, to the point of financial ruin and death.

Exactly 80 years ago this week, U.S. soldiers were discovering abandoned concentration camps. Colonel Heydan Sears made local townspeople walk past the piles of dead bodies while rejecting their claims that only a small fraction of German’s were to blame. #silenceiscompliance

Opinion | Trump’s destabilizing β€˜Liberation Day’ The president’s tariff deadline is a leading edge of change that is disrupting the U.S.-led global order.

"'The dumbest trade war in history' is how the Wall Street Journal described Trump’s initial tariff forays against Canada and Mexico. Later, after Canada retaliated, the Journal’s editorial board said it was 'being kind' in that earlier description..."

Definitely possible, Bill. Still, nearly all are in red states and most SS offices would draw from far outside their own precinct, especially in rural areas.

A list of the Social Security offices across the US expected to close this year Twenty-six Social Security Administration offices across the country are expected to close this year, due to actions taken by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

If my count is correct, 88% of locations closing are in red states. FAFO

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

The US added only 151,000 jobs in February, lower than the forecast 170,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.1%.

Yet again, a Republican president is blowing the strong economy he inherited from a Democrat.

Don’t make the mistake of assuming that hiding a gun or keeping it somewhere β€œout-of-reach” will prevent a child from getting their hands on it. Every day, there are far too many incidents across the U.S. where kids get their hands on guns that adults believed were stored securely, but weren’t.
