“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

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!

WTF? The president is considering launching missiles at CA for his fake war? Clearly he has lost his mind. He is unfit.

Visa bans for all 🇷🇺 as long as they engage in war in 🇺🇦.

Post war, special expensive visa's with restrictions, vetting & review with limits on numbers.

Its 🇷🇺's MO to engage in spying, chaos, political disruption and terrorist acts that destabilize countries.

Just say "NO" to 🇷🇺 & boycott 🇷🇺.

Earlier, the EU announced restrictions on the movement of Russian "diplomats" working in the capitals of the European Union – they are now required to notify local authorities about their trips before crossing the borders of the host country.

The minister also called for the introduction of stricter restrictions on the issuance of Schengen visas and residence permits to Russian citizens to prevent the free movement of persons who may be involved in the Kremlin's hybrid actions.

"We must not allow participants in the war against Ukraine or persons supporting the Russian regime to enter the countries of the European Union. It is necessary to act jointly so that all member states have a unified position on this issue", Taro stressed.

Captain Scan P. Barbabella, D.O., MC, USN/ Physician to the President The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Captain Barbabella,
After numerous observable symptoms and demonstrable episodes of deteriorating health, journalists have rushed to report on what Americans have seen plainly for ycars: the President appears unwell. As you know, the President has surrounded himself with a cohort of wealthy, self-interested, and vindictive individuals with unprecedented conflicts of interest. Collectively, they have set ablaze the rule of law, ushered in a blanket of rampant corruption, disposed of proper oversight, and, in doing so, have desecrated the United States Constitution and irreparably shattered America's enduring reputation as the standard-bearer of democratic principles. Given the unprecedented corruption committed by this administration, millions of Americans are rightfully skeptical of your medical assessments - particularly where you concluded that
"President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the dutics of the Commander-in-Chief and Had of State."' By being associated with such a corrupt administration, such medical assessments reek of corruption and further add to the unprecedented public distrust in America's political leaders and government institutions. Most Americans do not accept your conclusion that President Trump "exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health." In fact, 63% of Americans say that President Trump's health and age affect his ability to fulfill his duties as president, and that number has only increased since he was inaugurated. Moreover, nearly half of all Americans believe the President is suffering from
