New healthcare plan in a couple of months… 10 years later.
End the Russian war in Ukraine on day 1… 1 year and counting.
Release my taxes next week… 10 years and counting.
But, evidence of a stolen election in a couple of months… sure.

Please explain to me why we need the permission of the perpetrators to show us the evidence of them murdering non-threatening human beings at sea?
The killing of shipwrecked survivors at sea is a textbook violation of the laws of war.
If Hegseth is so proud of the killing of these survivors, the Pentagon should release the full video, just like they have with other boat strikes.
The American people deserve full transparency & accountability.

And.. once again, one sociopath will somehow have the ability to unilaterally wage war despite the will of tens of millions of Americans. Is this the democracy prior generations fought and died for?

Buy local.. maybe a little harder to find, possibly a bit more expensive… but you get much higher quality and WAY healthier for you and the environment.
Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.
Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.
Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

It’s going make the Nuremberg trials feel like traffic court.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Read Project 2025 and everything will make perfect sense.
I went to a zoom training tonight for doing school patrols to protect parents & kids from ICE who are showing up at local schools.
I cannot believe we live in a country where we as citizens have to patrol elementary schools.
I cried. And was equally inspired by my neighbors.
