Your reminder November 3, 2026 is the day of America’s midterms.
After early Saturday’s invasion of Venezuela I sincerely hope we now understand the assignment.
As of now we no longer have a functioning Congress.
It’s on us to change this before it’s too late.

What if the Republicans redistrict all the Republican states all they want but this administration has pissed off the voters so much that it doesn’t matter?

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Welp, I did a days worth of political activism, starting with 3 hours of calling on a phone bank for the Florida special election, then calling my Florida senators to vote no for the SB 1284 and that was way short of what Cory Booker is doing!

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad?
We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.
