Republicans who purport to know nothing about their actual job and the people they work with--what crimes and lies they were accused of, what horrible statements they made--should not be in charge of an ant farm, much less the country.

They are all irredeemable liars.

1. Puerto Rico and DC would still have to ratify the Constitution.

2. Trump PACKED the US Supreme Court five years ago this month. There is nothing that prevents expanding SCOTUS – it’s badly needed.

3. There should be NO restrictions at all on abortion. It’s health care, just like all else.

#117/2025
State Rep. Mike Costlow [R-MO] allegedly lied on his 2024 candidate filing by denying a 2008 felony theft guilty plea in Georgia in violation of state law that bars felons from holding office.

When your résumé starts with “felon” and ends with “liar,” public service isn’t for you.

Missouri GOP lawmaker accused by rival of lying about felony on candidate declaration • Missouri Independent

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado.

The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.
