I am reminded of this speech from a year ago.
Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

A) This is a lie. Other countries have it.
B) Trump uses it regularly.

Bottom line: They are afraid of you voting.

Judge to Hegseth: HORSEFEATHERS!
A federal judge rejected Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's attempt to demote Sen. Mark Kelly over a video reminding the military of unlawful orders.

The judge's fiery decision against Hegseth included 15 exclamation points (!) and a quote from Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues."

Breaking: Judge grants Mark Kelly a preliminary injunction against Hegseth, who is reconsidering his rank: "This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Sen. Kelly's First Amendment freedoms & threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees."

She didn’t turn around. She didn’t look at them.

They were right there.

She could have arranged to get their contact information.

She could have shown a scrap of sympathy.

But Pam Bondi wouldn’t even look them in the eye.

And that was a defining moment.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Repealing Right to Work, reinstating prevailing wage, and raising the minimum wage and pegging it to inflation.

We did that here in Michigan.

We showed how to build power, fight alongside labor – and win. We need that same attitude from our next U.S. Senator.

In 2023, under Joe Biden, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs.

You read that right - Trump is just that amazing.

The SAVE Act hits Native voters hard. Many tribal members rely on tribal IDs or lack easy access to passports and birth certificates.

The assault on Native voices is real.

“Crazy Hawk said she felt immigration enforcement echoed the violence experienced by Native Americans at the hands of the U.S. government, stretching back several hundred years and including the interment of Dakota people in the stockade at Fort Snelling in the winter of 1862-1863.”

Weren't GOP senators demanding $500k because the DOJ researched their call records on January 6th?
"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).
