When a President with his own plane claims it's too hard for him to vote in person, would GOP politicians and Fox News like to explain why, for example, a working mother or someone working two jobs to pay the rent should have no problem waiting in line on election day?

Not enough funds to go around. Those who don’t want to pay taxes shouldn’t be able to call the fire dept, or the police, or have roads, or I could say 100 things about schools, but unless you have a kid in school right now, refuse to see how they add to greater good. Bc you know, that means taxes.

This free documentary is a MUST SEE. Shuffling people around the US, away from their attorneys and family, away from their Habeas Corpus filings, on a merry-go-round of extremely expensive tax-payer funded charter flights, is a key part of the ICE death machine and hardly anyone is talking about it.

Let me guess, Congress thinks this should be left to the states to decide.
For 17 years, Washington has failed to raise the federal minimum wage while the cost of housing, groceries, childcare and healthcare has soared. Today, $7.25 an hour is officially a poverty wage. No full-time workers should be left in poverty. fortune.com/2026/07/20/m...
The minimum wage is now the lowest it’s been in 70 years—making the federal wage floor ‘officially a poverty wage,’ report finds | Fortune
“We are currently in the longest period of inaction on the federal minimum wage since its inception in 1938,” economist Sylvia Allegretto wrote in a recent report.

Either Trump hates Obama so much that he was willing to tear up his deal & settle for much worse or Israel has been calling the shots the whole time & Trump is powerless. Probably both. Regardless, it’s a perfect illustration of Trump’s weakness, incompetence, and lack of good judgment 🚩

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.
The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.
all this sweaty calvinball horseshit feels like hysterical panic from the court
