But what is your plan other than to complain about trump?
November 24, 2025 at 1:11 PM
Given that Trump & the Republicans have control of the White House, both Houses of Congress, and a majority of governor's offices & state legislative seats - one should conclude that if election fraud exists, the beneficiaries are Republicans. (Why don't reporters ask Republicans about that?)

Newsom cant run for re-election.

Lots of important special elections & runoffs for state legislative seats too. See my substack for all the details.

I am 71. I can't believe we still don't have an equal rights amendment. I can't believe that I'm still a 2nd class citizen with little or no chance for improvement in that status during my lifetime.

It was timed to be right before January 6. Also it gives her staff some time to get new jobs lined up. And for the governor to figure out what to do on a special election.

You won because the other side was so disgusting no one could tolerate voting for them.

I look at MGT's body language & tone of voice. It shows someone who is older & wiser, who realizes now how ugly the (MAGA) world can be to a woman. She now has the frame of reference on policy from the inside out .. that can be transformational. Quitting in midterm on jan 5 .. that sends a message!

Consider this-MGT had no experience in politics before she ran for office 5 years ago. Since then, she turned 50, got divorced, her children became adults, she's been the target of both widespread praise & terrifying threats. Her reference to feeling like a battered spouse is telling. (Continued...)

Most states require a special election to fill a congressional vacancy. Governor sets the date per state law

As i recall she was wealthy in her before she ran for office

Josh, What is our game plan to respond? Who will be the champion who bears back this tide?

Americans have no right to criticize given trump

But you forget ... The feds have only a fraction of the info. The epstein estate, the banks, the victims, former Epstein employees and all the people who are redacting the files. Heck maybe even spouses of the men involved.
