I am fairly sure that the only thing required for a third party to succeed in the U.S. would be to name itself the Non-Political Party, and adopt the public platform of "We don't argue about politics".
They could, of course, *be* as political as they want. That's not the important part.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.
Release the files. Immediately.

Are we going to get back to a point in our country where the president and Congress work together to pass legislation? I don't think anyone can be satisfied with the current state of affairs, where most everything is by executive order or decree. No wonder people are angry.

As I sit here feeding another outdoor cat that could be a stray or someones pet....I get more pissed off.
Stop letting your cats be outdoor.
It's bad for their health.
If you can't handle entertaining your cat indoors, than dont have one.
Just ugh.Pisses me off so much.
Forever anti-outdoor cats.

“Climate action” is just another way to say “we want our beautiful complex planet to continue to be a good place to live, and to continue to be both beautiful and complex”. So much climate damage comes from assuming that Earth is simple, that it is easy to control and that it will bend to our will.

Rick Grennel achieved a dream today by denying a Black woman her vote.
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

2. More importantly, he needs to be removed from office. He’s mentally unfit to be president, and he’s a clear & present danger to this country.
