I like posting reasons to be hopeful that we will still have a democracy in 4 years.

Jefferson wsn’t perfct but the assertion that it is a self evident truth that all men are created equal and endowed with inalienable rights - that sums it up right there.

Dave Min should call out Young Kim on the house floor. Ask her point blank whether she approves of deportations without process, or collapsing our economy tariffs.

Every Democratic Rep should confront their geographically closest Republican colleague on the house floor.

I love that Mark Cuban is helping us with data points for conversations. Let’s spread the word.
These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

🪦 New Yorkers are in front of the New York Stock Exchange for a mass die-in to symbolize how these devastating cuts will destroy families & take lives.

Deep spending cuts to programs like healthcare, food assistance, and education is a matter of life & death for millions.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct.

Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

This past weekend, Elon Musk appears to have gained unprecedented – and possibly illegal – access to our federal payments systems and a LOT of our personal information.

Dear Allied Nations;
Please understand that a coup has seized our government from within. A well organized cabal of Bible thumping white supremacists and billionaires have created a misinformation network, stolen our government, and are currently issuing executive orders that nobody voted for.

So far the Trump nominees contain super highly qualified individuals such as animal abusers, a high school dropout, anti-vax conspiracy theorists, Russian assets, racists, TV doctors, talk show hosts and criminals

Oh, and a couple of rapists too. Amazing!

"Nancy Mace often tailors her positions and entire persona depending on where she's booked. In an especially egregious example from 2021, Mace praised vaccines during a CNN interview but promoted 'natural immunity' on Fox News, both on the same day."

I cannot get over the fact that Republicans only won the House by 7,500 total votes in three congressional districts—an average of 2,500 votes in each.

That’s how close Democrats came to taking the House, in a country of over 340 million people. 7,500 votes.
