America is a country with one hand tied behind its back because misogyny keeps women out of leadership. Trump beat Hillary & Kamala both of whom would have been exceptional POTUS. We are failing the test of the 21st Century. We are stuck in the past. 🥲

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Support Prop 50. Republicans don’t play by the rules; they rig the election. Democrats would be fools if they do nothing to counteract Republican vote rigging. For good govt, we must remove Republicans from office in Nov. 2026. 💪🇺🇸💜

All the new ICE officers better be forced to work without pay during the shutdown, just like the military, air traffic controllers, VA staff, and other essential federal workers. ICE goons don't deserve special treatment.

MAGA abhors pedophilia. That’s a big issue with them. Why do the support pedo Epstein’s buddy? 🥴 Makes no sense. Keeping the client list secret triggered MAGA, but Trump’s wild distraction rampage may wipe it out of their minds. We must see the client list. Demand the Epstein file.

The freedom to ridicule those in power is a metric of our strength as a free country. Silencing late night comics is a sign of deep trouble. If govt power is involved it’s unconstitutional. 😬

We all knew Trump lacked the power to impose tariffs. Using “emergency power” as justification is bogus. Same with troops in cities. Same with immigration seizures. All illegal. Trump administration is lawless.
