Shut down MAGA’s war on Americans!

END the hostile takeover of our government

HALT the funding of war against Americans

STOP the abductions of neighbors, stealing healthcare from seniors, & taking food from kids.

No funding for fascism.
No dollars for dictatorship.
No bankrolling billionaires.

Garbage like this - Kash Patel using taxpayer funds to have SWAT Teams babysit his girlfriend, and then fuming when they don’t do it to his liking - is only going to amplify the ‘out of touch’ accusations towards this administration.

I, for one, have only really thought about the VRA through the prism of federal elections, not local elections.

But this well-reported piece reminds us that ending the VRA will have an impact on ALL levels of representative government.

if you also didn't know about this, spend a few minutes with the story to learn about what is likely coming due to SCOTUS — being informed is very important to face what's next.

‘More explosive early resignations are coming’.

If that prediction bears out with an already-narrow majority, there is a universe in which the timing of those resignations and the results of special elections could put the House GOP Majority in jeopardy BEFORE November 2026.

Things are especially bleak for TV news orgs. CBS is now owned by Larry Ellison, who is also eyeing CNN. Then we have Fox News (nuff said). And we certainly can’t trust ABC after their capitulations.

MSNOW needs to succeed, and we can all do our little parts by giving them clicks.

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.
