They won’t stop, nor will they be stopped. The only solution is to show up in numbers Big enough to moot their un-American efforts.
After Trump's lies about 2020 election, Georgia Republicans ousted Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger as chair & voting member of state election board. MAGA election deniers took control of board. Now those Trump-allied Republicans could seize control of voting in GA's biggest Dem stronghold
Trump wants to take over voting in at least 15 places
FBI raid in Fulton County GA now fueling MAGA calls for election takeover there
That would allow them to purge voters, cut polling places, limit early voting & challenge election results. Very scary for 2026

What the living hell is his blasphemer talking about? It’s not delusion. It’s lying.
Paula White-Cain at the Natl Prayer Breakfast: "We give thanks for a president who understands that faith is not a private afterthought but a public good. A president who is not merely spoken about faith, but has acted to protect it ... I've seen his compassion when no one is looking."

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

The idea that the Court should operate entirely in secret is a modern phenomenon. The idea that the Court should be separated from the public is a modern phenomenon. Earlier generations did not accept a powerful, isolated & secretive Court and we shouldn't either 1/6

Thin spaghetti with olive oil, salt, pepper, TJ's 21 seasoning salute. Parm. Along with bread and butter. Gluten isn’t my friend, but the thin spaghetti is manageable. Pasta is cheap. Learn to use it.
I dunno, man, I think making spaghetti from affordable components is pretty much the same process now as it was in 1985.

If he does this, and isn't impeached and removed, it's a Rubicon moment where we are no longer a republic. Sorry, I don't care how much Republicans like his policies or fear his wrath, you can't just let a president cut checks to himself from the Treasury.

Ex-Prince Andrew tried to make this same argument. Everyone who went to pedophile island was a mega-rich elite who easily could, and in most cases probably also did, independently procure victims and commit sex crimes without Epstein's help if they wanted.
"I can be a pedophile all on my own" is not the flex he thinks it is.

They’re utterly corrupt, will never fight for us, fix damage done, or bring criminal charges against high powered/wealthy ppl including Trump.
I’ve suggested flooding the Green Party and pumping it with life. But if there’s a better idea let’s go.
