There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

Vance hasn't grown up yet, maybe never will. How many name changes? How many changes in religious choice?
He has not a clue as to who he is and what he stands for.

A scam? Shocking!

Vance obviously figured out in 2022 that his only path to the Senate was to go full MAGA and lean hard into the dickishness of the movement for the new persona he created. But deciding that there is no limit to how far you will go in your awfulness is certainly a choice.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

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!

Was Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership trying to double participation in No Kings on Saturday or did they just stumble and bumble their way into doing that?

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Just start arresting ICE officers. Arrest them on the way they look, the way they speak, and where they are at. Arrest them without a warrant or probable cause and let the matter wind it's way, very slowly, through the courts.

Two can play that game.
Fight fire with fire.
