Actually Lake Michigan is a Great Lake. And using the Great Lake network, it's considered a border. Has been for years.

Would it be possible for you to post videos of full town halls on YouTube? YouTube videos are much easier for the rest of us to share. We can help spread the word, but we need videos that cover the entirety of your townhall and we need YouTubes.

Re: GOP blames government shutdown on health care for undocumented people. That's false

When you have to say you're "irresistible to women" & an "alpha male" you are neither.

It's called over compensation and self-respecting women spot it miles away. You present as strutting 13-year-old boys who have never grown up.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social please take note of the tactics of tRump mob. This includes tRump himself, Mike Johnson, John Thune ๐Ÿคท

Logic would support your premise (and you're probably right). But let's not forget that tRump's standard operating procedure is to distract, distract, distract. So... he nay us Adams as a way to distract the media from budget battles.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Jeffries is just as thrilled as tRump is that Adams is out. With Adam's down Cuomo now has a better chance. And, in the end, whether Dem or Repub, both tRump and Jeffries will choose big$ over Mamdani's appeal with everyday working voters.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Right-wing terror attacks plunged in 2025, while left-wing attacks ticked up: study From 2011 through 2024, an average of 20 right-wing terror incidents took place each year, compared to an average of nearly three left-wing incidents annually.

Tell every brown person who has been assaulted by armed, masked, secret police that "right-wing terror attacks plunged".๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

It's even MORE legitimate to say 90% of the world's problems involve the billionaire class owning our political systems and politicians therein (no matter what their age is).
