POLITICO: “Leaders of Young Republican groups worried if their Telegram chat got leaked, but kept typing… referred to Black people as monkeys, mused about putting political opponents in gas chambers... lauded Republicans they believed support slavery…” www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

That ceasefire agreement ended hours after it started, when Israel killed six more men.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Did he really say “ I’ve had spicier tamales”?? Lol

Call your reps and urge them to make a motion to vacate the chair as soon as they are back in session. Johnson must go.

Yes they have forgotten it. And they have forgotten Biden’s that ideas for border security were shot down by tRump calling Republicans.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Call your Rep. demand that they make a motion to vacate the chair, as soon as they’re back in session. And release they un redacted Epstein files.
