As polls begin to close, remember: If you're in line to vote, STAY IN LINE.

If you are in line at closing time, you have the right to vote.

Ask yourself this: if the problem is the ‘Democrats won’t give in’ as Trump’s little Johnson has said AND Congress is where debate, negotiations & compromise take place YET Trump’s little Johnson will not call Congress back into session WHO IS TRULY THE IMPEDIMENT⁉️
THIS IS A REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN

New York Attorney General Letitia James was federally indicted for mortgage fraud, raising concerns about judicial access, and Schumer accused the Trump administration of using the Justice Department to retaliate.

Yep-i voted today…. BUT in my little town the Repugs ran unopposed. I know some of these people. I know one runs as R because that’s how you win in this town. Still…. I voted for ballot measures and left the rest blank. I don’t care who you are. An R next to your name on a ballot is disqualifying.

I've gone hoarse yelling that Dems need to crash Mike Johnson's daily press briefings with
@adelitaforcongress.bsky.social Adelita Grijalva, a bible and a demand that Johnson swear her in on live TV.

I'm not sure why they refuse to give it a try.

It seems like such a fucking obvious thing to do.

Republicans don’t believe in representative government, they believe in power & winning at ANY cost! That’s may seem like a good idea until the shoe is on the other foot!
We need to recognize the will of the people, not just a few elite politicians who think they own the country❗️

The blatant fear over Mamdani by the billionaires that own our country is a canary in the coal mine! Continue ripping off America thru tax evasion, corruption, sweetheart deals twix your big corporations & government, media influence & buying political offices for your folks & see more Mamdanis‼️

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

File charges against Alex Acosta
wyden.senate.gov Senator Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov · 3d
Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

Here’s the part that BLOWS MY MIND, Trump has been speaking about how great tariffs are since before he started the “birther” BS! Certainly talked about it a lot during his first term & both subsequent campaigns… yet this woman & many others voted for him❗️
