Paying attention and sharing information. Clear eyed and dead set against republicans and republicanism. If you’re not blaming republicans you’re doing it wrong.

wouldn't it be easier just to move the White House into the Las Vegas Convention Center and be done with it?

Texas is the best possible proof that people do not vote on issues. There is no "Islamic invasion" of the United States and there were fewer than 10 trans athletes out of more than 550,000 NCAA athletes.
A prominent Texas Republican is running for Railroad Commission in order to fight the "Islamic invasion." He's vying for a seat vacated by a former commissioner, who is now running for Texas Comptroller on a vow to protect girls' sports.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.
