Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Pierre Poilievre says he doesn't have a security clearance because it will gag him.
What's the difference? He doesn't talk to the media anyways.
He gagged himself.
It just makes me gag! #cdnpoli

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came.
Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Known liar and generally weird dude Mike Johnson said he's not cutting Medicaid, just getting rid of 'waste, fraud and abuse' without much evidence of such things. We've heard these excuses before. #HandsOff

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing.
Emergency powers? He’s abusing them.
And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve.
The math ain’t mathing.

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas.
There are over 600 cases in the US right now.
Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

Trump now considering a 90 day pause on all reciprocal tariffs besides China.
These people have no idea what they’re doing.
The markets rebounded for a second on the news, but back in the red now.
Hard to see how any investor will have confidence in this flip flopping.

Did anyone tell Trump that his so-called mandate to lower prices didn’t mean our retirement accounts?
Now he’s doubling down, threatening a 104% total tariff on China.
When malignant narcissism meets unbridled ignorance, bad things happen. Who knew?

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails.
Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.
