Voting isn’t the solution unto itself, but it’s critically important at the local level.

There will be 52,000 elections held next month alone, and many will be determined purely by turnout.

You know what to do.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Or maybe it's circumcision that causes autism. Or penises. 🤷‍♀️🙃

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

When we have prevailed...(and...we will)...and are engaged in a vigorous and unending process of protecting what we saved, doing so with a ferocity we hadn't been for decades, be one of those who is unquestionably able to say, "I never gave in. I didn't allow my position to slip so much as an inch."

Updating this chart because the prior version is out of date. With Mike Johnson refusing to convene the House, the soonest Democrat Adelita Grijalva can get sworn in—and provide the 218th signature to force a vote on the Epstein files—is now three weeks after winning the #AZ07 special election.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

Maybe we have a year to save our country from full dictatorship. Maybe less.
Too many members of Congress & Senate , and law firms, and universities are caving. They are afraid.

No one is coming to save us. Its our turn to be strong- unafraid to stand for our rights and freedoms

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a third day.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

While millions of Americans wait to see if their health care will be stripped and hundreds of thousands of federal workers are furloughed, Mike Johnson and his Republican colleagues have announced they're going on vacation. No votes until at least Oct. 14th.
