As a Packers fan, I would prefer the Bucs to win.

Giant protests are great to see...BUT...giant voter turnout percentages in EVERY election are more productive.

If you turned out to protest today, please make sure you also get your ballot in this year. If you don't...what was the point of today?

We need to keep this momentum going through the mid-terms. Let's win back congress and our country Nov. 2026!

You know they are. Everyone knows they are! This complete and utter BS that they haven't been released yet.

We hate what the rank and file Republicans are doing to our country! That is the message.

I think he meant to say since the truth has come out about me and Trump it is too distracting for the royals.

Yes, and those same working families voted Republicans into power.

Trump’s not just lying anymore — he’s losing track of the lies.

From “med beds” and phantom Fox News reports to confusing the Jan 6 timeline, his decline isn’t just embarrassing, it’s dangerous.

The President in Decline: Trump’s Mind, His Myths, and the Machinery Around Him

He’s 79, impulsive, and increasingly detached from reality — but the people behind him may be the greater danger.

The president wants all the parts of government closed that he can't personally profit from. So he doesn't care about health care for your family. He wants to build a White House ballroom and promote bitcoin.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

This is grossly dark. These are broken people.

But it's also so politically dumb.

How do they think Americans will react to being told that anyone who doesn't support Trump is a terrorist?

Speaker Johnson should be removed from office for lack of getting anything done. He hasn't worked in a month and continues to collect a paycheck.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

This isn't the bumbling, directionless Trump first term. This time, they are implementing a plan to let Trump and his people rule forever.

But it's not too late to stop them.

This is an emergency. In a month, health premiums are going to go up by 75%, ruining families' lives. What's happening in Chicago, where people's rights are being obliterated, is an emergency. What the FCC is doing - censoring our political speech - is an emergency.

"I don't think the radical Republicans would be trying to take away rights to the degree they are if they thought they could win. The fact that they are throwing all the spaghetti at the wall says they know how deeply unpopular they are."
