Retired public music teacher. I did not vote for a felon/rapist liar. I am a blue dot in a rural area of a red state.

WATCH: “No. 1 issue I hear about”

Democrats need to keep going hard for
affordable healthcare if MTG is torching the Republican Party for ignoring crushing insurance costs. People’s economic future is on the line.

WATCH— @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : “You’re doing this for clout. You’re not gonna talk over me. You voted for the big ugly bill that cut $1 Trillion from Medicaid & gave tax cuts to your billionaire donors.”

@repmikelawler tried to ambush Jeffries, who didn’t back down

Here’s the problem: the GOP does not give a fuck. Period. They never have. Solution: VOTE BLUE.

Go get a beer, grandpa, and go watch Wheel of Fortune. WHY the hell do we insist on not calling this fool out for the idiotic, dangerous monster he is?

Marjorie Taylor Greene on extending ACA credits: It is hurting so many people... let's take off our Democrat jerseys, let's take off our Republican jerseys, and we should do something responsible for the American people and fix this.

Wow — Harvard Crimson student newspaper busts Hegseth for having written a long policy brief touting diversity before he joined Trump’s war on DEI.

With receipts. Bravo, Crimson.

So the truth is it’s my former political party - the Republican Party - that is the “defund the police” party.👇

The Republican work ethic is fantasy, just like Republican fiscal responsibility.🙄

You can't blame a shutdown on Democrats when the entire Republican Party hasn't even bothered to show up for work.

Tell Congress to cancel the GOP healthcare cuts and end Trump’s shutdown here: https://bit.ly/3IDECjz

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

Donald Trump is bringing pain to his own people and trying to make a fool of the Dems. We’re gonna need more than a strongly worded letter to win this fight.

The President of the United States calling for the imprisonment of elected officials with no legal basis should alarm everyone, regardless of party.

Social post by Donald J. Trump that says: 'Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!'

Now the White House doesn’t want to give furloughed workers back pay once the government reopens, even though Trump signed the 2019 law requiring it. Disgraceful.

Tweet from @TheDemocrats:
“Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats’ bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.
This is the fifth time they’ve done this.
Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.”

"Plenary authority." No one who understands what this chilling phrase means is ever going to deny again that Stephen Miller is a Nazi. As working class Americans go about their business as if things are normal, I cannot stress enough the danger our country is in. 😳👇

People are not only ignoring it, MAGATS, for example embrace it! In rural OH I saw churches with “Pray for Kirk” signs. An old geezer had on a “if you don’t like it here, move to California” shirt. Never mind the hatred, cruelty, racism, economic disaster and healthcare attack. They are IN.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Rep-elect Grijalva won her election TWO weeks ago, yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in.

Why? Because she would be the last signature needed on the Epstein vote.
