Trump's nominee for Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has a history of spreading election fraud conspiracy theories and undermining faith in American elections.

This means she'll prioritize partisan politics over protecting your right to vote.

Convicted felons can’t drive a school bus, or possess a gun. But sure let’s let #Felon47 drive the country and possess the nuclear codes. Makes sense

I mean, the 14th Amendment says he's not allowed to take the oath of office without a 2/3rds vote of both houses to remove his disqualification, I'd like to see someone call for a vote on this as well.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24% | Common Dreams
CEOs at top US companies saw their pay skyrocket by 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay only increased by 24%

In October I wrote an article that if Trump wins he would be a PINO- a President in Name Only. At the time my focus was Trump's dementia. But now because of the power of President Elon Musk, Trump has become a PINO! deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/if-trump-w...
If Trump wins, given his dementia he’ll be a President in Name Only (PINO)
Forget the 25th Amendment!

What does Trump have on you Republicans?! Why are you still kissing his ass? Willing to ignore how disastrous and criminal he is?! Ignore that he’s doing what ever Musk wants?! Are you also besties with Epstein? And afraid Trump will out your participation?! You’ve sold your souls, how does it feel?
Sound about right.

It seems many folks on socials are waking up and referring to President Musk this morning ...

@lincolnproject.us called it a month ago.

We will always lead the way against autocrats, no matter who is actually in charge.

😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I will NEVER understand this. Their argument is “how will we pay for it?!” Thinking that it’ll somehow bankrupt them. It would actually
INCREASE their take home pay if they were previously getting employer sponsored health insurance. Need help getting it? Read this pnhp.org/news/make-no...

Agreed. Ignoring this and hiding until it’s over is exactly how the German public ended up with concentration camps just behind the trees of their backyard. PAY ATTENTION and TAKE ACTION
