If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Little Mike Johnson is not competent to be the Speaker of the House.

All he seems to be competent to do is stick his nose so far up #TheFelonTrump backside. Disgusting!

Dementia or lying or both.

Oh the person he pardoned was his BUSINESS PARTNER CZ, who plead guilty to money laundering.

President Donald Trump said in an interview that he did not know the person whom he pardoned late last month.

Trump is selling influence by the square foot.

His billionaire donors helped fund his new $300 million White House ballroom, and together they hold $279 BILLION in federal contracts.

It’s pay-to-play corruption at the highest level.

Report: Donors to Trump’s White House ballroom have $279B in federal contracts

The White House ballroom’s donor list contains heavyweights in the tech, financial and defense sectors, including Google, Comcast and Lockheed Martin.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

This is the critical work that Donald Trump forced the Cal Guard to stop in order to militarize Los Angeles.

It's long past time for Trump to fully return every service member he wrongfully federalized back to state control.
