Hardly anyone will read this because I am not one of Those Accounts, but:
The most irresponsible msg people can be putting out now is trying to convince people that 2026 elections will not happen.
If we don't prep for 2026 elections, and they do happen, we hand the GOP even more power.
Stop it.

Holy Christ, people are posting a "breaking news" story about "massive voter fraud" in the TN election demanding a recount. Who is saying it? Unnamed "election integrity advocates". No data, just conspiracy theory.
Trump won that district by 22%. Behn did great, but lost.
Don't be like MAGA.

When you can't sleep since 4 AM, and you're out of coffee beans, you head to the local coffee shop the millisecond it opens at 6. 😵💫. Will be light and bustling in an hour, not now.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

The fact Trump said he has no idea what part of the body his MRI was for tells us two things:
1. The justification for the MRI
2. It was the brain

I assure you that when a doctor does an MRI he tells you what it's for. My money is his brain.

Some here say that Trump voters who say "I didn't vote for this" are lying - they knew.
While it's been glaringly OBVIOUS for decades who Trump was, I believe these voters - they didn't know, because they are STUPID.
And now we have to depend on those STUPID people to switch and vote D in 2026. 🙄

When will a reporter ask Piggy, "Why isn't there a 1 point peace plan: Russia get the hell out of the country you invaded"?
Whoever asks that to his face will be instantly famous.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.
Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

MTG is not to be respected, honored, recruited or praised. She never deserved to be in the House. She is not wise, or a great orator, or refined, or possessing of good judgment, or of a high moral character.
She is a broken clock, right by accident occasionally, and as such should be discarded.

If I were creating a system of government, laws and elections from scratch, and to test it I ran a Donald Trump through it and he ended up President, twice, I would immediately go back to the drawing board and start over.

Shame on Rep. Clay Higgins & shame on anyone who thinks this is acceptable.
This man didn’t just cast the lone “no” vote on exposing a global sex-trafficking network… he also grabbed a citizen for daring to ask a question he didn’t like. I hope this young man presses charges.

My fervent hope is that a reporter who is in the middle of asking a question will get interrupted by Trump, and she'll say, "Quiet, Piggy, I'm not done."

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin' "
