The DNC is still more worried about maintaining the status quo within the party than they are the actually winning elections against Trump and the Republicans.

They're thowing in 77 year old establishment politician to sabotage a 45 year old grass roots candidate in the primary.

Just west of Fort Qu’Appelle in Saskatchewan, the Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation is working across the US border to revive centuries-old trade routes as part of a new Indigenous-governed trade corridor.

From our friends at @nationalobserver.com:

Indigenous nations plan a tariff-free trade corridor across the US-Canada border

“We’re not begging for crumbs anymore. We’re demanding what’s rightly ours."

@johnfetterman.com is a disgrace to his voters and the Democratic Party. Whether the bait and switch happened due to his brain injury, they didn’t vote for this and he’ll be replaced. #DINO

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

People should take to the streets on 10/18 and protest the current administration, 100%.

But the way the Repubs are talking about the protests openly and in a coordinated way, it’s like they want to give the authoritarian-in-chief a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Mark my words.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Why not more public transportation everywhere, instead of more houses near the existing public transit? 🙃

Follow the money. Developers right now. 🤑

I hope the bill has a robust budget for environmental studies and the correlation between living near public transit and human health.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.
