My prediction is that come 2026, even if there is an election by then, Johnson won’t certify the vote. Thus, it becomes critical that we get as many Dems in the house and Senate as possible prior to the midterms.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.

Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "This isn't about one comedian or one television personality or any one network. It's about whether we as Americans still have the freedom to laugh at those in power, to question authority, and to tell the truth without fear of retribution."

You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.

Shame! Shame! Shame!
What are we going to do about it, sit on our thumbs?

He sure is and that exactly why I’m not going to pay my federal income taxes until the America I know returns to order.

I’m not going to pay my fed. income tax this year. I’m not going to do a damn thing that helps Trump rip off the American people and refuses to send federal dollars and assist blue states. I hope all the blue state governors follow suit, also citizens from red states who disagree with Trump policy.
