I'm looking forward to 2029 when we remove and destroy every aspect of Trump's name on federal property like US forces taking down everything with Saddam Hussein on it.
That's the bare minimum any Dem should do. Leave no trace of his existence.

It's so great to see that my family stressed and suffered these past 40 days during the government shutdown for the democrats to basically roll over. What was the damn point of it then?

I wonder why they're so far behind? Gee, could it be an agency that was already underfunded and understaffed, suffered a critical blow this year when a whole bunch of employees were fired or demoralized so badly they quit or took early retirement?
The U.S. Forest Service has treated about 4 million fewer acres than this time last year. We're way behind on thinning, prescribed fire, and related actions.

Gerrymandering is a form of voter suppression.
Voters in gerrymandered states find out quickly that their vote doesn’t count toward their representation, so they become apathetic.

Vaccines are battle training for your immune system. If you could give it intel on the enemy, why would you withhold that? Give me ALL the vaccines! I want to be prepared for everything!
