I can’t listen to the same nonsense, lies and drivel for a second night in a row.

Hammer this daily:
"Down-ballot" races, for local leaders & issues, are the most important. High-profile national ones get attention, but town councils, school boards, state legislators, etc. impact us most.
Vote BLUE down-ballot. The impact of local government is BIG.

A dire warning, billionaire criminal Musk has set up a scheme in the form of a website votesafe.org in order to steal voter information.

Never click on the link and please share this everywhere so others won’t fall prey to it like so many others.

Maybe someone shouldn’t reading it and figure out some preemptive measures since they seem to be following their plan step by step.
Stop acting surprised when they do what they told you they would do!

How can this stand??
Trump is abandoning our South Korean ally and supporting our adversary to its north.
Is this not the definition of treason?

The only way we’ll be able to save our country from Trump and his accomplices is to get out every available vote and elect Democrats up and down the ballot.
Do everything you can to see that everyone you know gets an opportunity to vote.

Trump and Blanche have played Corbin and Tillis like a child’s piano and made them look like total suckers.
The cop beater fund and tax cheater immunity agreement aren’t dead, just zombies. The agreement is bogus and they’ll be back from the dead.

How can anyone who had paid attention to Trump’s actions and statements in just the last five days think there is anything sane or normal about it.
The constant lies, hallucinations, delusions and personal attacks aren’t the acts of a sane mind.
It’s time to invoke the 25th amendment!

This is why we’re in so much trouble as a nation. Trump has surrounded himself with toadies like this, all willing to lie to themselves and us just to please “The Boss”.

What’s it going to take to convince the people around him that Trump has lost it and it’s time to act?
This crazy person is in charge of our shaky economy and commanding a war of his own creation, neither of which he’s capable of doing responsibly.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states.

The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination.

Screwworm cases continue to rise.

And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record.

The president is a liar. He lies constantly & without hesitation. His lies about American elections are among his most dangerous b/c they are meant to convince a susceptible public that democratic outcomes cannot be trusted. They are antidemocratic lies in service of holding onto power. He’s a liar!
