First responders like Eddie & the FMRA have stood with Mikie Sherrill from day one—they know she’s the kind of leader who takes on the toughest fights. Jack Ciattarelli? He cashed checks from opioid companies & helped spread their lies about addiction.

True! RFK, Jr DID say this!
He should be forced to resign. He is incompetent and mentally deranged. He is harming Americans with his false conspiratorial theories.

RFK Jr. said children circumcised early had 'double' rate of autism linked to Tylenol use

The U.S. secretary of health and human services cited a preprint study to back his claim.

UPDATE #TN-05 Democrat #ChazMolder raised $785,000 in the first four weeks of his campaign. That’s more than 13 times Republican Andy Ogles’ current war chest.

People are clearly eager to put an end to #PinnochiOgles lies and drama www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Voters in CA still don't know about Prop 50. We need immediate help. Volunteer from anywhere. It's empowering

Yes on 50 – The Election Rigging Response Act

Trump and Texas Republicans are moving to rig the 2026 election — and other GOP states are joining in. If Californians don’t act now, they could seize Congress no matter how we vote.

Republicans in TX erased 5 Democratic Congressional districts stripping representation from minority communities.

Then MI did it.

UT, NC, FL, LA, KS & IN+ are going to do it too.

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects

Trump humiliated, the Nobel Peace Prize eludes him once again, despite his insistence. Since the beginning of his second term, he has not stopped complaining that he deserves it for supposedly resolving numerous conflicts, a claim that is a complete lie.

I love, love, love MAGA crashing out over Trump selling out to Qatar.

I mean, it really gives me & so many Muslim American writers, commentators, & journalists, so much joy.

For 25 years, this country has accused us of being Hamas, terrorists, bla bla bla.

And Trump bear hugs Qatar.

I love it.

When I could share some things I've endured with others (only when feeling safe & strong enough) I soon learned I wasn't alone, not by a mile.

Shining a light to help another towards healing helps bring you more healing. We aren't alone.

This has nothing to do with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and everything to do with the Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime being embarrassed that they made a mistake trying to deport him in the first place.
