Hope you don’t mind, but this here is a link to a link via one of my #Substack notes. This way you can see the hard-hitting video by House candidate Kelly Thompson and my comments.

She asks GOP voters to stand against Trump's #UnrecognizableAmerica

This video has to be spread throughout the land. It has to be not only seen and heard, but felt in our bones. And I have the hashtags to compliment that circulation, if you please. As spelled out in ...

When will these useful idiots wake up to the peril Trump of putting them all in? It’s crazy, like they can’t remember what loyalty to trump has cost so many others.

We're keeping track of all of Mike Johnson's crimes against America and the people who live here, right?

To no one's surprise, he's committing multiple right now. While causing undue suffering to millions of Americans. All to protect billionaire pedos.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

That means his net worth has gone up by $100 billion in less than a year.

I’ve also read some are parolees or early release. Ironic since that’s what Homan and Trump insist is the case with the migrants. Prisoners! Mental institution! I’d say many of these extremists would satisfy that category, too

What percentage of ICE officers came from the following well-known hate groups?

✅ Oath Keepers, and
✅Three Percenters

America needs to know why they have their faces covered?

It’s the same as what happened with DOGE. All the slashing and burning, that in the end just caused chaos and pain and ended costing more than it saved

Tariff revenue is operating like ship money did for Charles I, when he tried to rule England without Parliament. Like the US, only the legislature could legitimately tax the people, but Charles used innovative abuses of his powers to raise & spend money as he wanted

(He later lost his crown & head)

Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 1d

“.. there is the question of how the bond market will react to tariff revenue being redirected away from lowering the deficit.”

Trump: "We call them the water drugs. The drugs that come in through water. They're not coming. There are no boats anymore. Frankly, there are no fishing boats. There are no boats out there period, if you want to know the truth. Does anybody go fishing anymore?"

Utah GOP passed a congressional map, in response to a court ruling forcing them, that makes 2 of the state's 4 ruby red districts much tighter — though neither of them leans blue as the spirit of the ruling asked for.

One should be quite competitive next year, the other in a (very) blue wave.

Do we need to split the MMR vaccine into 3 shots?

No.

-No medical reason. Current vax has no safety issues and works very well
-Kids don’t like needles. Why give them 3x the shots?
-Peds office already have limited bandwidth. Who staffs 3x the visits?

Another nonsensical, unserious “policy”

Right wing garbage Joey Gibson and Nick Sortor are back at the Portland protests. This is why I tell everyone phones out. Record everything. These people will try to stage violence or agitate. Record EVERYTHING. We have nothing to hide.

Just like during the 2020 BLM protests, far right wing agitators are pretending to be ANTIFA demonstrators, in order to start trouble & make the peaceful protests look bad.

Here's far right 'Patriot Prayer' founder Joey Gibson and his girlfriend in Portland, OR yesterday:

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Miller very clearly wants to start a war like scenario so the regime can call for an Insurrection and locked down the Country to avoid the mid terms

dell cameron @dell.bsky.social · 2d

these allegations raise serious questions, all illustrated best by this drawing.

A digitally drawn cartoon shows several animated characters gathered around Jon Arbuckle, who has a massive dump truck ass, and js wearing white panties labeled “DADDY.”. A speech bubble above him says, “Easy fellas… there’s enough for everyone down there…” The characters — Arthur, Mr. Krabs, etc — appear to be crowding close together in a chaotic and exaggerated cartoon style, salivating over his booty.
