They all knew, but sucked-up anyway...

Bottom line: research actually credible news sources before you vote, the vote however you can, in person or by mail for someone who will absolutely make your life better. I can recommend vote411.org as a credible source of information about candidates on your ballot.

Trump only has affinity with profit. He has decimated the National Park budget, funneling it to his "Redecorate in my Honor" projects. Our wild lands and wild animals deserve better.

Seems like a day to re-up our story on where things stand for two cities with the same name, sitting across an increasingly fraught U.S. / Canada border ….

RFK Jr is an embarrassment on our country, and a detriment to our health. Please elect future federal representatives who actually are independent of FEAR OF TRUMP syndrome. The DOJ historically lost few cases, because they were carefully considered under the law. Now, DOJ loses constantly?

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... This is just one example of unchecked power destroying the lives of too many Americans without accountability. It's a way that needs to change. We need legislators who have the integrity to consider the good of all Americans and the environment.

Just curious, what is your 'road less traveled?' I was a hippie, deviated from the straight and narrow path, and ended up doing very well anyway by doing what I was good at: organization, long-term planning and having fun traveling. What's your story? It's summer, a time to relax and think.

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... This is the meaning of our republican democracy, which is currently being driven to obscurity. We are better than what is currently being mandated by Trump.

So watch. If you rely on autoprompt from AI, if you are typing constituents, it will prompt you to respond to constuents. Proofread, because the billionaires are trying to misguide you in multiple ways.

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

The State of the Union is an outdated event. It should be eliminated. It used to be a written report. Now it's just a political circus. Our elected officials waste time that could be much better utilized if it was spent addressing the needs of the country. This speech would not be missed.

Millions are being spent daily currently to arrest and detain immigrants for deportation. Decades ago immigration was a problem that needed a better solution. Neither party could pass progressive legislation to speedily process asylum seekers. Do this with ICE funds now. Hire lots of judges.

Conservative members of the Supreme Court rubberstamped ICE agents racial profiling people, which has resulted in US citizens being attacked and brutalized. Kavanaugh approves of this? He thinks what is going on is fine? Time for SCOTUS to redress this error.

This is America presently. We can't continue down the docile path.

So Trump has money to BUY Greenland, but not for food for the needy, education, or Healthcare here at home.

So hopefully there are lots of advertisements currently to join ICE because lots of agents are quitting in disgust. All ICE agents should do the right thing and quit.

Access to accurate news no longer exists, for people who can't afford to pay for streaming, and who actually know how to identify facts and factual reporting. The lull of social media has skillfully guided Americans access to news. Trying to eliminate NPR totally was a big step toward that.

So relentlessly texting messages for small donations is abhorrent. Every day I get another 10 requests for a small amount of money to Democrats. I give. The torrent of requests I no longer even read needs to stop. It's a bad strategy. I am on board. I donate. Turn it off now.

So now our president and his lackeys are dabbling in piracy? The Hague must address this quickly. Shooting boats without attempts to board and search, killing possibly innocent people hasn't been stopped by the DOJ or Congress. We need international pressure to reassert law.

If the GOP doesn't offer a health care plan that is affordable and protects all citizens, after claiming for a decade that they are coming up with a plan, shame on them. They need to show up or go home and start taking care of all the people who they left without resources. Care for the sick, GOP!

Trump pretending to be a peacemaker? He's just jealous Obama is respected. Obama earned it.

I am trying to figure out Venezuela. Maduro appears to be a repressive leader, suppressing votes and reducing democracy. Am I right? He sounds like Trump, so I still don't understand why our president thinks we should attack. I keep hearing oil, but he loves UAE. they do the same.

So Hegseth is cutting ties with scouts and says the military, which has benefited from coordinating with their Jamboree can't participate. He hasn't released the drafted memo yet. He isn't a fan of DEI obviously. Girls can join now too, and we know he considers us inferior. Complain please.

I go to the grocery store often, and most of you do too. We know when items go up or down. I seriously doubt Trump has ever done his own shopping. Maybe once, 50 years ago for one emergency item. He has no idea.

CONGRESS Go back to DC. Negotiate. Reopen the government NOW.

Trump is playing chicken, still pretending it's the Democrats fault that people aren't getting any services from his administration.

ICE's precursor, with training wheels on.

Trump has the power to end the shutdown. He can tell Johnson to negotiate. He can ensure our government is functioning to service our needs. He doesn't want that, so he's off doing photo ops on our dime while we can't pay our rent or feed our kids.

There is lots of money for Trump to take trips. He and his minions are incurring high costs traveling frivolously on our jets. There's NO money for SNAP IN November, which keeps struggling people, like young mothers with children, like elderly and disabled. This is obscene.

Small-time farmers can't sell their soybeans now. The elevators can store them until there is demand, but they will charge too much for storage. Tariffs have destroyed the market and are destroying farm families. No response, GOP?

One child deserves an amazing education while another doesn't. Private versus public education. The rich child can be mediocre, the poor child genius. The poor genius child's access to a home, to Healthcare, to their parent is interrupted. There is no deference with Trump.

Cancel the money to Argentina. Use the Coast Guard to intercept suspected drug boats. Board and verify. Open Congress or stop paying wages to them. This is reasonable. I don't pay when I am not served, and most Americans agree.

Priorities matter. People matter. Truth matters.

This kid in the grey sweatshirt is a MAGA influencer embedded with ICE He was at the roundtable discussion at the White House then captured on video in Elgin, IL Trump is sending these thugs into protest groups under the guise of “journalists” Paid crisis actor Put his face out there Pritzker

@elmelle.bsky.social I am there with you. I am living in an almost totally Republican district. I have lost most of my friends. My ID Isolated is accurate. I miss having actual friends.

It's ironic that a patriot like John Bolton may be brought down by insecure emails. Trump had boxes of Secret and Top Secret documents in an unused bathroom, and he was elected president. He lied about having them and is firing anyone involved in a lawful search. Hmmm

The 3 branches of government need to act as sworn. Currently, only the Executive branch is, and he is ignoring our Constitution.

While Joe Biden was president, a series of diplomatic efforts helped secure the release of more than 100 Israeli hostages, while he took no American hostages out of American cities.

So Dems and Republicans want our money for ads & infrastructure Instead of funding environmental protection, food banks . . . Allowing unlimited contributions to campaigns needs to stop. The money is going to powerful corporations instead of people and causes that need it desperately.

So Mike Johnson thinks citizens shouldn't gather and express their thoughts in public? He needs to realize that no one supports having our ability to speak freely impinged. He should put on a hat and dark glasses and attend some protests on Saturday to get back in touch with reality.

Jim Jordan demanding that Jack Smith appear for questions about his "partisan" investigation is ludicrous. Jim Jordan is completely partisan. He has sold his soul to GOP power. Jack Smith is nothing like that.

Political partisanship is dividing us. Biden stressed his support for bipartisanship, and that helped us do really well as a country during Covid. How about listening to your neighbor of the other party and trying to hear something helpful instead of having your mind made up? Listening matters.

We, as a nation,must find a way to distance the CDC and NIH from political influence. I don't know how this can be accomplished, but the health of the nation and the world is now highly at risk due to RFK Jr.& Trump. National health is too important to let conspiracy theories destroy us.

The Nobel Peace Prize goes to the person risking her life to fight for democracy, freedom of speech, and freedom for Venezuelans. I agree with this decision. It reflects the values most Americans rightly hold dear.

So, health care premiums are about to skyrocket due to the big ugly bill. Jared Kushner and many others are buying lots of healthcare stock. Is this why the GOP is unwilling to negotiate for lower premiums? This is sick! Money over lives.

The GOP talking point is 'Democrats want us to keep undocumented immigrants on ACA, Medicaid and Medicare." So, let's start asking them for names and actual data to help us believe this apparent lie. Name them, and take them off benefits if any are found. It's their job. They're in charge.
