Seems there is yet another app using the ICEBlock logo and charging people for access. It’s called ICEBlocker and it is not us.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD or pay. Best we can tell is it’s Russian.
We would never ask for money.

Until Trump began conspiracies about mail voting, Republicans were fully on board with GRACE PERIODS for ballots to arrive as long as postmarked by Election Day. They passed it overwhelmingly in KS, OH, & elsewhere.
But now Trump hates it.
So 4 red states—KS, OH, ND, UT—all banned it this year.

Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes - Bolts
Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

I am curious what people think about this advert. Not about Crockett herself or her run for Senate. Just about this as a campaign ad - Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Reviews. Notice how you’re feeling when you watch it what emotions does it inspire.

JD Vance is a fucking idiot. If his wife had a brain in her head, she'd secretly move out of their house with the kids while he's away on official Nazi business.

Gee, that's so weird... But it doesn't matter to MAGA, right? Neither does the fact that he's a child-raping pedophile.

This is post and the comments are so important. How can a few hundred elected representatives do this to their people? They “earn” $174K a year, have free healthcare, and allow themselves to invest in the stock market they write the rules for. When is enough enough?
My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

The new and shiny golden sign outside of the Oval Office seems to be less of an exterior design choice and more of a “sticky” note to remind the occupant of the name of the room he’s entering. #Memento
