North Carolina already one of most gerrymandered states. Now GOP passing new gerrymander giving Rs nearly 80% of seats in state where Trump got 51%. Specifically targets Black Dem Don Davis. This is preview of what post-Voting Rights Act America will look like www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Republicans are making one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation even more rigged
North Carolina Republicans just passed a new Trump-inspired congressional map to oust a Black Democrat.

DOJ WHISTLEBLOWER: “I wouldn’t be abiding by my oath if I stayed silent right now.” He says Trumps DOJ wanted him to lie (about Kilmar being a gang member & a terrorist…)— and then fired him when he wouldn’t.

Donald Trump wants the Department of Justice to pay him $230 million in compensation for criminal investigations. So, this is how he pays for the new ballroom at the White House that he claimed was coming out of his own pocket??

Why is Trump protecting other pedophiles in the #EpsteinFiles?

Because they likely have evidence incriminating Trump as an insurance policy.

Mar-a-Lago records show that Jeffrey Epstein remained an official member of Donald Trump’s private club until October 2007, more than a year after his indictment for sex crimes against minors.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent victims, alleges in her upcoming memoir, that a “well-known prime minister” “savagely” beat and raped her, when she was just 18 years old. That prime minister was Ehud Barak of Israel. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

That gagging stench is the latest ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, where three judges (two of them Trump judges) just cleared the way for Trump to deploy federalized National Guard units into Portland (and, one assumes, anywhere else). Motherfuckers. www.npr.org/2025/10/20/n...
9th Circuit rules that National Guard can deploy to Portland
The appeals court overturned the ruling of a lower court judge in Oregon, and clears the way for President Trump to deploy the National Guard to Portland.

Today is Day 16 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.
