A little extra context on this amazing turnout. Twisp is a tiny town in the Methow Valley, the far north of WA state. 4+ hours NE of Seattle, 3+ hours NW of Spokane. In 2020, the census showed a town of 992 souls in a land area of 1.2 sq mi. Rural, remote, and showing up for the Land of the Free. 💥

My rural, remote community of Twisp WA had close to 1000 people show up!

🔥 @mehdirhasan.bsky.social : “The great irony is Trump is the son of an immigrant, grandson of an immigrant, married to an immigrant… in fact, 2 of his 3 wives were immigrants— proving yet again immigrants will do the jobs even Americans aren’t willing to do.” 😬🙃

Very sad. All they have to do was renew the ACA subsidies back in March during the CR before the insurance markets became unstable. Very heartbreaking. This is completely on the GOP and Donald Trump.

The numbers are in and here’s just one example of a Rhode Islander who would see a $683/month premium increase next year if Congress does not act now.

Republicans’ health insurance sticker shock is already here.

Any shutdown cutbacks to the federal courts are squarely Donald Trump’s fault.

He even said so.

Ohio highway tended by the state. Michigan by each county. Try driving I 75 from Ohio to the Sault in the winter. Every mile is a crapshoot

Walgreens tells me they are having trouble accepting seniors OTC payment cards for online orders. Makes it difficult to get items you need if you can’t get to a store. Shutdown related??

A Christianity that believes it needs a president, legislation and a government to ensure its survival is a Christianity that is centered on the worship of its own power rather than faithfully relying on the power of God.

God is just its mascot for its political ideology

BREAKING: Donald Trump has announced he is commuting disgraced former New York Representative George Santos' prison sentence.

Back in 2023, we tried to call the top donors in Santos' campaign. Turned out, many didn't seem to exist.

The list of matters to investigate keeps growing.
