What to know about me: facts matter. I choose who I follow based on whether I can trust the information they put out. People make mistakes and can be duped by misinformation. Don't follow me if you can't handle a correction I make to your post based on facts and I present you with evidence.

The deadline to submit comments about the Post Office preventing delivery of election ballots to people not in a federal election registration being built is July 2. Send email to PCFederalRegister@usps.gov with the Subject line: Ballot Mail, email must include your name and address. Let's stop this

Thought: - Requested increase in Defense spending $1.5T up from $814B in 2024. - Selective Service changed to auto-registration for draft eligible males 12/2026. - During hearing Hegseth said factories were already being built when asked about weapons shortage. What! Are we readying for war?

First they came for the immigrants, And I spoke up because I recognize the inhumanity and cruelty occurring. This will not be America’s legacy. This will not, cannot be, I say. I keep speaking up because they have no voice and atrocities are ongoing. My thoughts as I write my elected reps today.

Things aren't going well for Trump and I wanted to make my prediction on what I think will be a main tactic to pick up voters in Nov. Around Jul-Sep he is going to issue tariff rebate checks to Americans, Rs will not care where the $$$ comes from & Congress will O.K. it. Bribery is Trump's thing.

- and from out on the lawn there arose such a clatter; I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter; no, not Santa. Major sudden wind storm (possible derecho) ripped some siding from my house (I think). Laying in the back yard, I'm waiting for the sun to come up to see where the damage is. Oh joy

1/3 America will elect Democrats in today... and 2 years from now complain Democrats didn't do what should've been done and will vote for Republicans instead. It's the whole reason we've been cycling through the Recessions occur under Republicans and Democrats then have to fix it for a half century.

2/3 Dems are so busy fixing the messes, they don't have time to add to the good. America has to stop electing Rs unless/until they are willing to do things that are actually popular with voters. Let Democrats stay in charge until Republicans are good with not polluting our air, water, and land.

3/3 Let them stay in charge until Republicans are good with workplace and health regulations protecting Americans. Republicans attacks on deregulation kill people and they should not be allowed back in power until they are willing to stop killing people.

Serenity Prayer for the Trump Dumb: God, Grant me the Strength to accept the Dumb that cannot be Changed. The Courage to change the Dumb that can be Educated. And the Intellect to know the Difference.

Is this row over Ukraine enough of a distraction from the fact Republicans are going to pass a bill in 2 weeks that gives Trillions to the wealthy in tax breaks while offsetting with cuts to mandatory spending programs we all pay into like Medicaid? Is this why the blowup happened?

During WW2, four brothers from a Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky a Hero!

My Thoughts: If the U.S. government is going to betray allies and put Americans out of work I hope Democrats make the choice to shut it down. Vote NO on all funding bills. Slow the lunacy so Americans can really see the damage already being done.

They let an unauthorized Russian reporter for Russian State TV into the meeting with Trump and Zelensky. What kind of security is being provided? People should be fired for letting in unauthorized people not just near Trump but the Ukrainian President that Putin has tried to have murdered many times

- Many people fired are not taxpayer funded: Most at FDA were paid for by fees to medical device makers. The CFPB - by the Fed. Res. - funded by earned interest & fees. FDIC - Bank fees. DHHS, the Int. & Ag. - user fees & private funding. Zero savings for the budget, zero effect on the deficit.

I just heard Frank Figliuzzi (Former Asst Dir. of FBI) explain Trump's statement about 'no laws being broken if saving country' came from White supremacist far-right extremist neo-Nazi Anders Breivik from Norway shooting of 77 people including kids at a camp in 2011. Who told Trump that phrase?

Get out of the mindset this is Musk. Blaming him lets Republicans off the hook. Every Single Thing Being Done Must Be Related to Republicanism. They are the ones doing this.

Has anyone tried to contact their Congressman today? Mine is Blake Moore of Utah and when I tried to send an email online through his website it wouldn't go through and instead I got: United States House of Representatives Access Forbidden The resource you requested is forbidden access.

My thoughts: I read that the DOGE account was hacked because they left their database open. The same website also posted info marked Secret No Foreign access showing National Reconnaissance Office staffing. Didn't Reality Winner spend 5 years in Leavenworth prison for posting classified information?

My Thoughts: The Republican Party has spoiled - like egg salad rotting in the sun, it's a mix of lies, hate, fear, anger, and violence. Stop focusing on Trump or Elon and connect the whole party to what is happening; your Republican state and fed. Reps. They are spoiled and need to be thrown out.
