Hi everyone,
I am trying to post content here, but a lot of my stuff goes beyond the character limit and isn’t practical.
If you want to follow me, pls find me on Facebook. I have a huge and very engaged community there of like-minded people. I think you will enjoy it.
I will continue to try here.

I said the same thing when the Senate Democrats caved in the spring: you must never capitulate to dictators, it only emboldens them (and it did).
Rinse, repeat. The cowardice is heartbreaking. Tough to be a Democrat sometimes.

We finally have Trump on the ropes with the election last Tuesday, but this capitulation is just going to embolden him yet again! All your senators and members of the House should be hearing from you this morning! They still have to vote! ☎️☎️

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

It still has to go through the House of Representatives. EVERY single one of them is up for reelection next year. They all should be hearing from you tomorrow morning! ☎️☎️
Hold the line and vote NO!

One thing about Trump, he can’t hide it when he’s down. He’s speaking now, and sounding like a mumbling fool. The election blowout was like a gut punch to his bravado. Just wait until the Supreme Court rolls back his tariffs!
