Texas passed their extreme gerrymandered maps, their efforts to steal the 2026 midterms must be neutralized. CA is responding though we must educate our electorate. We don't cheat, we do it Democratically!🗽

This isn't going to be cheap & Nov is 3 months away.

If you're able, please support!

Donate to Stop Trump from Rigging the 2026 Election

If Californians don’t act now, Donald Trump will seize total power for two more years.

Naturally, the only prominent Republican to address the vile comments from the Young Republicans while refusing to condemn them was JD Vance.

But that’s only because Ron Desantis hasn’t weighed in yet.

Witnesses and reports claim Epstein had photos of Trump with half-naked minors. At a hearing, Pam Bondi refused to deny it. If the photos do not exist, why not say so? Because lying to Congress is a crime. This level of transparency should not be optional —her silence speaks volumes. /2

#ResistanceUnited #DefendersOfDemocracy Since Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum-security prison in Texas, many are now asking: what is next? Despite her conviction for trafficking minors with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump said he would consider pardoning her. /1

While our government has over 2.9 million employees, millions of them and our military found themselves furloughed or working without pay. Thanks to speaker Mike Johnson, instead of working with democrats to end the shutdown, the GOP is on vacation while still getting their six figure salaries.

#ResistanceUnited #DefendersOfDemocracy Day 14 of the GOP government shutdown: Donald Trump boasts as he begins firing thousands of federal employees. “DOGE” was just the start—Project 2025’s vision of dismantling government aid is accelerating.

I am a Patriot, as defined by our Founders. I do not believe in “my country right or wrong”, and neither did the authors of the Bill of Rights.

A positive step toward stopping the Israel-Hamas conflict:

Yet, Trump should understand that he alone cannot secure peace.

Every president builds on the work of their predecessors and allies. If only he could respect that.

You know who hates America

The guys who took healthcare away from millions of Americans

The ones who CUT billions of dollars for programs like cancer research and FEMA

Who sit and watch the president use military troops to attack our cities

That’s Mike Johnson

HE hates America

In Mel Brooks parlance, don’t bother to meet with the piss boy, Mike Johnson

He’ll just waste your time while and get you all wet and messy

Speak with the guy who actually makes the decisions instead

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

TUR: Have you met with Mike Johnson?

JEFFRIES: No

TUR: Why not?

JEFFRIES: Donald Trump has not given him permission to meet, Katy and we know that until Donald Trump gives them permission to meet, they're going to continue to hide.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.
