AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Tomorrow is a critical day for democracy in court. Compare how the Washington Post framed it vs Democracy Docket.

Corrupt right-wing SCOTUS is set to hear a case this month that could gut what remains of the Voting Rights Act, effectively killing one of the crown jewels of the civil rights movement and the nation’s most powerful statute to prevent discrimination in voting.

The folks at Fox News continue to promote the false narrative that Trump ordered 10,000 National Guard troops BEFORE the January 6th riots. His then Acting Sec. of Defense testified under oath that Trump made no such request. I included his testimony. RECEIPTS!

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

I am some feeling some hope for our country!
From Govenors Pritzger & Newsom to Portland & Chicago, to media refusing whiskey boy's pledge, to airports refusing ice barbie's mesage; It feels like the scales are publicly tipping
toward democracy!
I hope MSM will FULLY cover No Kings on 10/18!

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.
