Texas republicans just pissed off a ton of voters by shutting down county wide voting in Dallas, and blocking the polls staying open until 9.

Trump choose this war — not out of necessity, but recklessness. We’re told we can’t afford healthcare or housing, yet somehow we can afford endless war. The price? Paid for by service members & everyday Americans never by billionaires.

Dan Crenshaw has been ousted from Congress.

The AP called the #TX09 primary for Steve Toth, one of the most far-right members of the Texas House.

Pundits think Democrats will take back the House in November

But folks-I’m telling you now

If we REALLY want to change our government and stop the Trump junta

We need to grab control of the Senate, too

And that starts with Roy Cooper in North Carolina

Game on, people!

Take NOTHING for granted

"Motjaba is known for a staunch adherence to his father’s hardline conservatism, and has close ties to Iran’s notoriously brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military body, according to CNN.

He had no official role in his father’s regime, but was still sanctioned by the US in 2019."

Odd how Trump didn't place his hand on the Bible when taking the oath of office.

Odd how Noem when being sworn into testimony for the Senate didn't articulate "I do". Grassley had to speak out loud acknowledging a "positive response" since "nods" don't quite cut it.

CNN will never give you this info :

Iran sends a drone at a US base. It costs $50k. America fires a $1m missile. It misses, so two more follow. $3m spent to kill one $50k drone. Iran makes 500 a day and has 80,000 stocked. Cheap drones. Costly missiles. Math ain't mathing.

Sen. Murphy: They told us in there that this is an open-ended operation that hasn't even really started... they refuse to take off of the table the insertion of ground troops ... there is no question that this is war.
