Because of the Republican Government Shutdown, SNAP benefits may end Nov 1. I’m building a list of food resources nationwide. Email info to VegasJoePolitics@gmail.com — include name, site, state & area served. No one’s coming to save us — we save each other. #VegasJoePolitics

Just finished 107 Days by Kamala Harris. Part 1 of my thoughts: it’s more than campaign memoir—it’s a look inside urgency, chaos & impossible decisions after Biden’s collapse. With more time, Harris could’ve reshaped the race. #Politics #Election2024

Trump is sending 200 National Guard troops to Portland, calling it a “war zone.” In reality, it’s residents resisting his goon squad. This is a distraction from GOP chaos: Epstein files, a looming shutdown, and a sinking economy. We must fight authoritarianism and call out corruption.

Republicans control the House, Senate & WH, but blame Dems for a shutdown over their own budget. Dems are right to hold firm on ACA subsidies—millions rely on them. Call your Senator (202-224-3121) & demand they stand strong. #VegasJoePolitics

Trump’s “Temu Twitter” post telling the AG to target enemies wasn’t bluster—it was a threat. Now James Comey has been indicted on 2 felony counts. This isn’t justice. It’s political retribution. If it can happen to him, it can happen to any of us. #DemocracyUnderAttack #RuleOfLaw

Halfway through Kamala Harris’s One Hundred and Seven Days. Emotional read—it takes me back to the campaign, when optimism and history felt within reach. And it reopens the wound of that November night, while reminding us why we keep fighting.

Trump, “Brainworm Bobby,” & Dr. Oz claimed Tylenol in pregnancy causes autism—w/o evidence. Then they pushed an iHerb supplement Oz profits from. This isn’t medicine, it’s a scam. Pseudoscience like this erodes trust in real science & puts lives at risk.

Fall’s here and so is another government shutdown. But let’s be crystal clear—this one is 100% on Republicans. They control the House, the Senate, and the White House. No both-sides nonsense. This is a MAGA shutdown, period. #RepublicanShutdown #MAGAChaos

Trump posted to Pam Bondi demanding prosecutions of Comey, Schiff & Letitia James. Presidents aren’t supposed to order the DOJ. This is how democracies fall—by normalizing authoritarian behavior. #RuleOfLaw #ProtectDemocracy

s passed a “National Day of Remembrance” for Charlie Kirk—a MAGA stunt dressed up as legislation. Even worse, NV’s Susie Lee & Dina Titus voted YES. We need leaders who fight, not fold. In NV01, check out Joy Hoover, a progressive alternative. #Nevada #JoyForNevada

Trump signed an order declaring “antifa” terrorists. But antifa just means anti-fascist. We fought a world war to defeat fascism. Now, in 2025, some Americans are embracing it and Trump as an authoritarian. History shouldn’t have to repeat itself. #Democracy #Resist

Yesterday’s memorial for Charlie Kirk looked more like a Trump rally than a service. The President used it to declare he hates his opponents. That means he’s saying he hates half the country. That’s not leadership—it’s a cult of personality pushing an authoritarian agenda.

During Vietnam, the Smothers Brothers mocked LBJ weekly. Instead of silencing them, Johnson wrote a letter saying he understood and even appreciated their comedy. That’s leadership. That’s the First Amendment. Today’s administration doesn’t get it—and that’s dangerous.

ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel after Trump admin threats. This isn’t cancel culture—it’s government power silencing dissent. An attack on the First Amendment. If they can silence him, they can silence us. Stand up, call your reps, protect democracy. #RedAlert #FreeSpeech

Trey Reed was found hung at Delta College in Mississippi. Authorities claimed “no foul play” before investigating, despite broken limbs & inconsistencies. His family demands an independent autopsy. The media is silent. We must not be. Say his name: Trey Reed. #JusticeForTreyReed

Some Charlie Kirk fans are speculating he will resurrect from the dead. They’ve already called him the MLK of our time and now compare him to Jesus. This isn’t Christianity—it’s idolatry. American Christianity worships the powerful while scapegoating the marginalized.

Democracy is on the line in California this Nov. Prop 50 isn’t just a local issue—it’s the frontline in stopping Trump’s authoritarian push. Texas has already rigged its maps, others are following. We must fight back now. Vote YES on Prop 50 and protect democracy. #YesOnProp50

Spare me the GOP’s fake outrage over Charlie Kirk. MAGA built this gun culture, flaunted AR-15s in ads, mocked grieving parents, and blocked every reform. Now when one of their own falls to the violence they unleashed, they demand sympathy? No. This is their America.

Yesterday’s assassination of Charlie Kirk was horrific—but I do not mourn him. He spread hate, lies, and propaganda that harmed marginalized communities. He is no hero, no martyr, no saint. Mourning him is like mourning Osama bin Laden or Mussolini. #GunReformNow #EndGunViolence

24 years since 9/11. We mourn the lives lost, but we also face the truth: Bush, Cheney & the elites used tragedy to push endless wars, mass surveillance, Islamophobia, torture & lies about WMDs. The terrorists struck, but our leaders caused wounds that still bleed.

Speaker Mike Johnson claims Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case. Do they think we’re stupid—or are they? This isn’t just a lie, it’s propaganda. Trump flew on Epstein’s plane, bragged about “young women,” and now MAGA wants to rewrite history. Justice still waits for survivors.

A MAGA congressional candidate bragged about calling ICE on a Hyundai battery plant, leading to 450 Korean engineers being detained. These experts were building a facility that promised 9,000 jobs. Now $350B in South Korean investment is at risk—all to “own the libs.”

Trump’s military strike on a Venezuelan boat killed 11. The excuse? Cartel smugglers—yet no proof. JD Vance praises it, but even Rand Paul calls it what it is: execution without trial. That’s a war crime. Trump is dragging America into illegal wars in our name. #WarCrimes #NoKings
