The below poster should be used against Andy Bigg’s run for Gov of AZ!

The midterms will be about GOP’s support for Trump, his narcissism, his pathetic cabinet, ICE’s Gestapo tactics and Trump’s chaos in the U.S. & internationally. Time to:

DUMP TRUMP & BIGGS!!!

Jeff Merkley: "Trump has turned ICE into secret police. We now have secret police in America. The basic mark is - they show up in unmarked vans, no uniforms, no judicial warrants, grab people, and prevent them from having access to communication with families or lawyers."

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

Massive war price tag could be a massive problem for GOP leaders The prospect of a ballooning new spending bill has GOP leaders bracing for a messy internal fight.

Capitol Hill Republicans are about to confront a staggering price tag for Trump’s Middle East war.

Some GOP lawmakers are hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day.

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Soldier Details Chilling Messaging From Higher-Ups About ‘God’s Plan’ In Iran: ‘It Shocked Many Of Us’ One commander had a “big grin” on his face while saying Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran," a service member said.

There have been over 200 complaints from service members alleging that commanders at more than 30 military installations have framed the war with Iran as all part of God's divine plan and that Trump was anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon & mark Christ's return.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
And more...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

There are two explanations for the Trump Admin’s Russia’s policy: 1. This admin is secretly aligned with Putin and lying about that to the world and the American people, or 2. they are incredibly naive fools who ignore overwhelming evidence that contradicts their worldview.
