BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

When masked secret police are crashing into cars & violently pulling women out & beating them to a pulp with no warrant, answering to no one, this isn't democracy!

We have 1 chance to retake power—Prop 50!

If you care about our country, VOLUNTEER or DONATE.

WE NEED YOU!

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

An economic bailout for Argentina. An air force base for Qatar.

This guy is doing everything but putting America first.

At least Trump got a free jet and a $5.5 billion golf resort in Qatar, so there’s that.

Trump bribes Qatar with US taxpayer money and Qatar funnels money directly to Trump. It’s a laundering operation.

TRUMP: “Gaza’s gonna be slowly re-done. You have tremendous wealth in that part of the world.”

Sure sounds like that giant real estate deal coming together, like he (and Smotrich) have openly said. Anyone wanna bet Trump’s family gets a nice piece of the action?
