He’s tearing down the East Wing while the country goes hungry.
Federal workers at food banks. SNAP benefits running out.
And instead of reopening the government, he’s building a ballroom.

By refusing to work with Democrats, Republicans are willing to DOUBLE the health care costs for millions of people.

It’s shameful.

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean.

6 people dead this time.

Not a single arrest made.

Not an ounce recovered.

Not a shred of evidence provided.

Just disgusting.
A screenshot of a post on X that reads: Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning: "God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks. "He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says. Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

Trump is bombing boats in the Caribbean.
No evidence. No oversight. Just death at sea and silence from leaders who claim to stand for “law and order.”

Primaries are there for a reason. I'm not interested in "vote Blue no matter who" especially as its given us people like Fetterman. Push to make Democratic candidates better or replace them.

And with that, I think its time to drop Platner.

When a pastor humiliates a mother for giving $1,235 instead of $2,000, that’s not faith, that’s financial bondage.
It’s time we free ourselves from the chains of colonized Christianity.

False Prophets and Financial Bondage
A recent clip of Pastor Marvin Winans publicly chastising a mother for donating $1,235 instead of $2,000 has gone viral, and rightfully so.

Do I approve of the people in inflatable costumes clowning at ICE protests? Yes.

Do I approve even harder when New Yorkers chase ICE agents down the street? Also yes.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Demolishing the White House while also trying to get &250 million from the DOJ.

Why should we bother paying taxes anymore if they’re just going to go to Trump?

There is powerful messaging and imagery and I don’t understand how there is no opposition. From Dems, sure, but media and businesses and

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone.

The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

Kim: We need someone who’s clearly going to stand up for the people of New Jersey — not someone like Jack Ciattarelli who says he can’t think of a single thing he disagrees with Trump on…That’s not the kind of guy we need at the helm to take on the attacks we’re seeing from Trump on our state.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Real protest makes power uncomfortable.
