Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Agreed. I just wish she’d run a better campaign.
Have you heard her campaign commercials say anything about the actual outcomes of a MAGA governor other than “the Trump of Trenton”?

I’m pretty sure Hamas has a really big lead in their race for murdering Gazans since the cease fire.
It’s too bad the Hamas Health Ministry doesn’t count & propagandize their executing 33 Gazans Monday afternoon and more since for threatening their control that the agreement says they must give up.

If he wins, I will blame either election officials for not checking the ballot scanning/counting machines for malicious code, like there was in 2024, or Sherrill for running such an obviously bad campaign.
We don’t need a governor who can fly a helicopter.

Don’t forget, Trump is meeting with Zelenskyy tomorrow. He has to get his instructions today.
Why he would broadcast that he is getting instructions from Putin today is another reference point for the dementia case.

This is the entire issue.
They wouldn’t put up this kind of fight over just health insurance or taxes. This is existential for Trump’s presidency.

You ought to hear Shitarelli talk on his campaign ads. I talk fast, but this guy spits out like a machine gun hoping you can’t catch most of what he says. Because if you listen, you know he’s putting ICE in every NJ town, NatlGrd on big city corners, and deploying NJGrd across the country for Trump.

It’s so cute when they think it’s only in Washington. 🤣
There may be 20 million across the nation and another 2-3 million of 30 other countries.

This is it entirely.
They are willing to be sniveling evil bastards to everyone needing health insurance just so a pedophile can stay in office and grift.

Think of the enormity of that equation. There is no question the Epstein Files are devastating to Trump - and probably some of SCOTUS and reps.

He needs only to follow his own advice. 🤷🏻
Every accusation is always a confession. And they can never see it. SMH.

The irony is the journalists still have their Pentagon contacts. They have more capability than ever to contact them without formal interaction. And now they have a newly motivated group that is highly inspired to communicate with reporters.
MAGA idiots can’t think past Step 1.

Don’t forget keeping the Epstein Files secret. That’s a big, big part.
If the gov’t opens, the House returns to sessions, Grijalva is sworn in, and the Epstein Files are voted for release.

Unless a Republican is threatened with death to his family and changes his vote. Very possible.

Hegseth is a hated idiot without respect at the Pentagon.
There will be no darkness. Reporters still have all their contacts and they’ve never had more ways to contact a source without a trace than they do now.

They should be fearing the return Hamas has already made. They executed at least 33 people right in the streets on the first day of the ceasefire fire Israeli army pullback.
Since Sunday, Hamas is far in the lead for making dead Gazans.

Haha. These MAGA clowns never think past Step 1.

You don’t pay doctors, then doctors refuse patients.
Doctors refuse patients then every Medicaid patient and their family gets an early preview into how it’s going to be when the Republicans real Medicaid cuts start.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.
