DE-FUND the RED STATES
Blue States should stop paying Federal Taxes until funding in the Executive Branch returns to what the voters elected and mandated over 50 years and more. And until all of the federal agencies are reinvigorated and refund refunded.
I'm joining Jews across America and organizations like the National Council of Jewish Women to rally against the GOP's outrageous tax bill.
Tikkun olam demands our refusal to sit idly by as the SNAP food assistance and Medicaid health care Americans depend on is destroyed.
Where's the Republican outrage that a non elected, non-confirmed, conspiracy theorist nut job is dictating policy and hiring/firing? Republicans flipped out if Joe Biden stuttered or coughed.

Jessica: I also heard no complaints when Mike Johnson decided to abdicate his job to say actually congress isn't in session anymore because I don't want to have to vote on turning over the Epstein filesβ¦. so be equal opportunity in your complaints about fleeing your job

Not because of drought.
Not because of crop failure.
But because food and aid are being deliberately blocked.
Over 2 million people, half of them children, are trapped in a man-made catastrophe.
Elon's politics aside (lol) I don't understand buying a tesla purely because you're putting your life in the hands of a guy who lies constantly and a company that does stuff like this. Why! www.reuters.com/business/aut...

It just never ends. Pam Bondi has convened a grand jury to look into claims that members of the Obama administration may have violated federal law during their investigation into Russiaβs role in the 2016 election.

She knows all kinds of stuff about Epstein...
Ukraine recently imposed personal sanctions on 15 heads of Russian museums.
Why is this important?
These museum officials are accomplices in serious crimes:
βΎοΈ they have actively spread Russian propaganda - in Russia, in the occupied territories, and abroad;‡οΈ
Trump acknowledges widespread starvation in Gaza but hasnβt acted to address it. Members of Congress must force the issue with demands to lift aid restrictions and let trusted third parties distribute food. Tell your elected officials to call for an end to Netanyahuβs intentional starvation of Gaza.

It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.π

BROOKE ROLLINS: Here's the deal -- when in America did we lose the concept of the dignity of work? So yes.
Letβs not forget Donald Trumpβs βJusticeβ department is giving special favors to a convicted sex trafficker who participated in the sexual abuse of children. The lack of outcry by Republicans after Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a low-security prison tells us they stand by Trumpβs moral depravity.
