Yeah, these dumb fucks couldn’t pass an open book test because they can’t read. That’s why the Constitution is meaningless to them. They’d have to have read it & actually thought about what it means. Thanks, Common Core.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Two things are true at once:

1) they are making moves that are designed to steal the 2026 and 2028 elections through redistricting and voter suppression, and

2) their success is far from a foregone conclusion.

YES ON PROP 50.

And start thinking about your GOTV work now.

Former federal officials say Trump is weaponizing the agency.

"Our ancestors were driven here by destiny, possessed by urgent and fiery conviction, by burning belief, devoted to their cause and their God.” What those pilgrims were doing was escaping poverty, authoritarian governmental control, and persecution. Essentially, conditions such as the US right now.
