Mike Johnson cancels more of the current legislative session for House and sends everyone home again until after midterms. Total lack of backbone and a complete lack of leadership on the part of the man who will likely lose his speakership position come January.

The orange fascist thug wanna be dictator hates it when "his" Court doesn't do what he wants to dictate on citizenship or elections. Most of the time they OK Donnie's madness but he throws tantrums when "his" Court actually but rarely follows the Constitution.

I respect everyone's right to practice religious beliefs and spirituality as they see fit. I especially also honor those practices of the indigenous peoples. Their connection to the earth and beyond is extraordinary! The only judgment I have is when others disrespect practices which are different.

The orange fascist thug says the only guardrails needed for AI is a smart president. Sadly, we are at least two plus years from having someone like that in office.

Now he is trying to bribe voters to save his ass with money the government doesn't have and couldn't afford. Its just another lie among the thousands of lies from this fascist thug and wannabe dictator. It truly amazes me how his cult will buy this lie just as they buy all the others.

So Mr. Magic Marker wants to rename my beloved home state of New Mexico "New America". Inflation is running rampant, so is his war, & the assault on our democracy, all while blocking the Epstein files proving he is a pedo. His renaming things are ego driven distractions from his failures & crimes.

Now the orange fascist thug wants to cancel holidays so people can do more work without enjoying time off that the rich and corporate types get nearly everyday. Any worker who voted for this man who wants them to work more and lose their healthcare and pay more due to his inflation is a damn fool.

If you are a Democrat or progressive, please vote in person on election day or early voting. The post office is complicit with the tangerine fascist & your vote may not be received to be counted. If your are a fascist thug otherwise known as a Rethuglian, please use mail in ballot process he uses.

New Mexico is joining 27 other states in challenging the ridiculous rule adopted by the post office demanded by the orange fascist thug to limit mail in ballots in elections which are operated by the states. If you vote this way, you do take the risk your ballot not reaching the Clerk's office.

The orange fascist thug dictator huffs and puffs but can't blow down Iran's house. He is instead stirring up other countries and world political turmoil, all while sending prices for Americans through the roof! Why anyone would continue to support him is total insanity.

So the Log Cabin Teathuglicans plan to drop the T from LGBT. In reality they need to drop the LGB as well since all they have been is self loathing fools. Teathuglicans support the P and Rs ( you'll figure it out) their leader is all about. By way, I know where they can put that log as well.

The Democratic Party as l repeatedly have posted has brought our country many progressive programs since FDR. Progressives are the true voice of the party. Standing against universal healthcare, supporting a genocidal state and the American version of the gestapo is being the real traitor!
