This is beyond desperate. So since Republicans can’t stop people from voting, they send mailers with the wrong date for the special election on 12/2.

There isn’t a true “Christian” who supports the racist, homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic, lying, 34 x felony, Epstein loving adjudicated rapist.
There’s no way you believe Trump puts “God and country first.” There’s no fucking way you believe that. And shame on you for selling your soul to someone who’s turned an America that was once that shining city on a hill into an America that scares immigrants and tells them to stay the fuck out.

“Trump says”. I’m so fucking tired of Trump says. He’s a criminal, a pedophile and a bloviating liar who should be locked away and expunged from the annals of American history.

We need new laws defining what standards should be in place before one is eligible to run for the presidency. First, no felons or rapists need apply.
Donald Trump incited an insurrection on J6. He should never have been able to run for public office again. What a failure of justice to not hold this man accountable.

Wow! The executive director of the ThriveWell Cancer Foundation warns: “People are not going to survive a totally survivable diagnosis because of the lack of insurance.” Congress and the president need to extend the ACA subsidies and fix healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Americans are buckling under medical bills. It could get worse.
Charities that help people pay for care say demand is way up. That’s before scheduled Medicaid and Obamacare cuts take effect.

This DC shooting story has been so terribly handled. First they were both dead. Then they were dead again. They had the shooter and Patel thought they didn’t. Now they’re critical.
Now Pirro is saying it ‘was a challenge to law and order’ so Shitler can leverage it into more troops.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.
