Vote against the GOP, because the GOP votes against the people!

Trump keeps saying that tarrifs and crazy gas prices are raking in large amounts of money for the government. The problem is that none of us are seeing it. If the government was getting so much money then why is the deficit so high? Why did they have to cut benefits for people? Oh yeah, war.

I voted yesterday. Wife and I dropped off our mail in ballots in the drop box. I am one drop in the blue wave.

Spoiler alert and whatnot. You don't have to completely understand how someone lives their life in order to LET someone live their life.

I don't know about all of you, but these are the longest four years ever!

It's still Lake Ontario. And the Gulf of Mexico. You're welcome.

It's crazy that we just went to Dollywood as part of our summer vacation for the first time ever this year just two weeks ago. We also saw them building the Songteller in Nashville right after.

BREAKING: we just filed to STOP the new USPS rule on mail ballots The Court only held that the injunction came too early. Now we HAVE a final rule & we are litigating it @democracydefendersfund.org & @campaignlegal.org are proud to represent LULAC, Madison WI & Travis County TX

The war is on, the war is off. Why are we at war to begin with (other than a distraction)? It's always about money for our loser in the White House. It's not just the military that are the losers and suckers to him, but the general public that aren't his rich "friends". We all lose here.

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

Happy Caturday!

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

Make Americans Democracy Defenders (MADD)

This 2020 Trump speech is going viral.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump accelerated his assault on the federal judiciary Thursday by accusing “certain” Supreme Court justices of being “unpatriotic and disloyal” by striking down most of his tariffs. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The National Park Service removed an exhibit on slavery in Philadelphia in response to an executive order from President Trump. But he doesn't get to rewrite history — and a federal judge agrees.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

So if the Dow went up by over 106% during the Clinton scandal event, shouldn't they have just ignored it like they are doing now?

But John and Julie (Complexly's CEO) and the rest of the leadership team and I hit this thing from every angle and, look, our goal isn't any of those things. Our goal is to get people curious and help them learn...to make learning and teaching easier by making videos PEOPLE CHOOSE TO USE!

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

When ICE fires multiple chemical rounds directly at the head of a praying, priest, DOJ concludes it is completely justified. When protestors make noise during a sermon by a right-wing ICE pastor, DOJ announces a major investigation. It's not about immigration; it's about control.

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress. He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

“The United States will not let men steal trophies from women…” - says guy who happily took the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to a woman

I have noticed a disturbing number of calls for violence against ICE agents. One word: DON'T! Around the world, dictators WANT violence because it provides cover for them to launch massive militarized retaliation. Dictators even stage false-flag operations to provide themselves with an excuse.

Trump is going to invoke The Insurrection Act. Then it'll be martial law and suspending the elections. Dictatorship is next. Who will stop him?

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” –The Federalist Papers, Number 47

Look at the amount of federal lackeys they need to terrorize peaceful protestors. How much money is wasted for each of these people to stare down these protesters and even shoot them with pepper balls for no reason.

"We're keeping America Safe!" Really? By going "Door to Door"? I have never felt less "safe" in my 62 years than I do right now. Financially, emotionally, legally, patriotically. This "New America"? Yeah, not working for me...

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days. End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

The White House’s rapid response account has posted video of ICE agent Jonathan Ross shooting Renée Nicole Good in the head and then calling her a “fucking bitch.”

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Trump says he will force Venezuela to hand over millions of barrels of sanctioned oil, which the U.S. will sell off under his control. Hello? This is naked extortion of a sovereign country. It’s far past time for Congress to grow a spine and rein in our tinpot dictator.

ICYMI: Today, the United States of America, under the direction of a mentally unstable president, attacked Venezuela, a sovereign nation, kidnapped its leader and his wife, and declared they are now running the country. It’s exactly as insane as it sounds.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?
