There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Don't Let Democratic Centrists Hijack the Majority With Their Cowardice!

Vichy Democrats decided to betray their party, their base, and Americans fighting for lower healthcare costs based on a bullshit promise by Republicans. Never forget.

We won't be successful fighting Trump with Schumer/Durban in party leadership positions. Now is the time to put leaders in place who understand the fight we're in.

Will you call for Schumer to step aside?

“Anyone who helps me try to steal an election gets a pardon” is perhaps the most corrupt thing to happen in American history.

That “conservatives” have simply accepted this as the price of admission is the greatest moral and intellectual humiliation.
NEW: Donald Trump has pardoned a long list of allies in his bid to subvert the 2020 election including:

-Rudy Giuliani
-John Eastman
-Mark Meadows
-Sidney Powell
-Ken Chesebro
-Christina Bobb
-Kelli Ward
-Jenna Ellis

Just remember as you see all these politicians rushing to say "Bernie was right, we should be like Bernie" that a few weeks ago, Bernie was praising Trump on immigration. Oh, and Bernie voted to confirm Marco Rubio.

NONE of the Senate Democrats are good enough. NONE. OF. THEM.

It is interesting how whenever I raise Bernie's (frankly terrible) record on immigration, people who call themselves leftists immediately jump into my mentions and start spewing right wing anti-immigrant talking points.
