Gov. Walz: "What side do you want to be on? The side of an all-powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace, and kidnap its citizens off the street, or the side of a nurse for a VA hospital who died bearing witness to such government?"

People want to have their basic needs met.
They want to be paid a living wage.
They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives.
They do not want Venezuela.
They do not want Greenland.
They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

Putin puppet Chump is weakening the United States by breaking our bonds with our longstanding allies.
The goal is to destroy NATO. But that won’t happen.
NATO will stand strong against the United States, which will plummet into the abyss that Putin created.

14 US states have abortion bans, leading to a rise in maternal and infant mortality. Global experience shows that criminalizing abortion doesn't increase birth rates - it risks women’s health and lives, making it harder to obtain legal medical care and forcing them into clandestine abortions.

Trump is an idiot and a madman, we all knows that.
Yet somehow he got elected US President twice?
He will be gone soon enough, but the consequences will be with us for generations.
When he is gone though, remember the faces of those that enabled and did his dirty work.
They must be held accountable.

If there really are dozens of Republicans in Washington upset with what Trump is doing to their party, why don't they publicly say so?
Rep. Massie and freakin' MTG are showing them exactly how it's done. It's not like there's nothing they can do.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.
