Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

The fact that electronic voting systems can be bought and sold in this way, while their inner workings remain a proprietary secret kept from the public, is a wild conflict of interest and a massive threat to the security and integrity of American elections.

The man was 77 years old and his wife previously organized one of the local ‘No Kings’ protests. All he did was write ‘You Lack Values’ and got an intimidation visit from Desantis’s Gestapo.

Actually INSANE that Republicans are so unwilling to stop your health care costs from skyrocketing that they are refusing to even sit down to negotiate… and House Republicans have entirely stopped showing up to work at all.
