It annoys me to no end that because I donated $10 to a democratic candidate one time 10 years ago, I’ve unknowingly consented to receive random text messages from every democratic candidate across the country asking for more money until either I die or change my phone number. STOP STOP STOP TO END

With all of the White House demands for state voter information, it’s probably wise to check your voter registration on the regular.
We could get a leash on Trump in nine months if we all pull together.

I did not want to share this week’s USDA press release as there’s no comment or objection period, and I don’t want things to seem hopeless.
So I’ll note the comment and objection period is the midterms.
These are your lands.
These are the stakes.

Trump carried the district by 17 points in 2024, so if Texas Republicans are in panic mode there, the entire state is in play.

Did you hear the news that white Americans in Minneapolis are flying Mexican flags on their cars to entice ICE/CBP agents to waste time pulling them over. They're calling it "ICED fishing."
