Don't let them gaslight you. It's all on the GOP to end the shutdown. It's easy. Just make healthcare affordable for Americans instead of giving huge tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy. Repost to send a message to Speaker Johnson.

I read Project 2025 well before the 2024 election. Just portions of this document should have stopped The Mad Mango from being elected again, but sadly, not enough people read it or read enough of it to realize how dangerous the regime would be if elected.

Here are some cliff notes. And I find it interesting how much policy that's been around for decades they blame on Biden.

There ARE a lot of us & we CAN get control of our country back; we just need to all get on the same page & make it our priority. I think a majority of people can now see the death trap that MAGA & Trump is, so we should have a good chance in 2029. I hear you, but I'm fighting for future generations.

SIGH.. fire all the voices that stand against the dictator.... What's next?
Let’s be clear: This is political censorship. Just as CBS’ parent company handed Trump $16 million to settle a spurious lawsuit, this decision is about preemptively bowing to a regime that demands obedience.
We stand with Stephen Colbert and every voice that Trump wants silenced.

Stephen Colbert is an epic talent, an incisive observer who’s been wronged by Paramount. They can pretend this isn’t capitulation, but I wouldn’t believe it.
