And we never will. Get your anti-fascist, anti-king, pro-amphibian, America loving butts to a No Kings rally near you this Saturday!

Or come to DC to really make some noise. Blue hair is optional, but democracy is not.

Tell that to the officers who are seriously injured and STILL recovering, or better yet, to the ones who are dead.

New York health officials have confirmed the first locally transmitted case of the chikungunya virus which causes high fever, joint pain and fatigue.

It’s usually a tropical virus, but there are now infected mosquitoes spreading in New York. (NYT)

Porter should've handled that more professionally
As Vance shouldn't have berated a head of state for not wearing a tie
As Trump shouldn't have sexualized a female reporter
As Noem shouldn't have allowed a priest to be shot in the head with LTL rounds
But only one is seen as a soft target
Wonder why

In previous posts, I have verified a posted with data evidence that Flash Flood Watches were appropriately issued. Every County around Kerr received that info and applied it to save lives. "I was sick," is not a valid excuse for the deaths of 116 people. It is failure this guy still has a job.

Kerr County, Texas, lead emergency management official says he was asleep during deadly flooding

William "Dub" Thomas, the Kerr County Emergency Management Director since 2015, detailed his whereabouts during the crisis.

Reform the Insurrection Act—protect us from Trump!

Text SIGN PWVQOR to 50409 — I’m writing to urge you to support immediate reforms to the Insurrection Act. President Trump’s threats to deploy the U.S. military in American cities under this outdated law are a grave danger to democracy and civil rights. Congress must act to require legislative approval for any domestic troop deployment over 14 days, ensure judicial oversight, and make clear that peaceful protest is never grounds for military action. And public transparency must be required. Please take a stand to protect our freedoms and the Constitutional balance of power, before it’s too late.

I find this really ironic coming from a Republican who is so afraid of his base that he refuses to hold a town hall in his district. Let's not overlook the fact that he's calling US the terrorists.

Ummm..... is he not aware that the felon pardoned people who actually beat and are responsible for the deaths of cops? He's also overlooking the fact that he is still refusing to install the plaque that honors those very police officers.
