I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Mike Johnson honors the Capitol Police by hiding the plaque in a basement that Congress gave them for protecting elected’s on Jan 6.

He honors Americans by bad-mouthing all who attend the “No Kings” rally.
He’s as unAmerican as they come!

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

Justice JACKSON standing up for voting rights. 🔥

Louisiana: Plaintiffs said 'we want another majority-black district.'

Jackson: No. They said 'we aren't receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.'

Louisiana: Same thing.

Jackson: No, it’s not.

Americans, you deserve so much better than this.

Let’s make sure Saturday is just the beginning.

We will overwhelm this regime with dignity and a fierce, non-violent “NO!”

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown (Gift Article)

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

I sat in the room with Mike Johnson as Epstein’s survivors told their stories. He looked them in the eyes and promised accountability.

Now he’s blocking the vote to release the files. Swear in Congresswoman-elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social—now.

This is an overt lie from JD Vance.

The CATO Institute and a study cited on the DOJ’s own website (before Trump scrubbed it) found that far-right extremists commit significantly more politically motivated murders than the left.

I cited this data on CNN a couple weeks ago.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Newsome would make sloppy Joe look ridiculous. He knows it. Trump makes him look smart. Tells you everything you need to know.
