Trump has cut off funding for campus-based child care at over a dozen colleges. How is that remotely pro-family? All it will do is punish those who have kids and make others think twice about having them.
I’m retired, a mom, a grandmother, an MBA and since 2016, an activist. Someday my granddaughter will ask me what I did to help and I need to be able to look her in the eye and say, “Everything I could, I fought for you.”

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Waste and fraud at work. The abuse happened to the detainees.
Actually, because of both

WTF?
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
Trump wants to change the name of the Defense Department back to the Department of War. He also wants to send soldiers into more American cities. Connect the dots.
Bill Pulte’s family owned one of the largest home builders in in South. This is a huge conflict of interest. Note that his target is a highly educated and qualified Black Woman. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...
When Republicans, several in my own family, confront me about being a Democrat my response is always to quote Matthew 25. Then remind them of the Good Samaritan, Jesus with the woman at the well, Jesus curing the sick, and Jesus’ render unto Cesar teachings. My faith Requires me to be a Democrat.
I do have a granddaughter. And several nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. I need to be able to look them in the eye and say I did everything I could.
Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s memoir to be published posthumously
Must be nice to have no oligarchs on your supreme court.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"
Marchers and signs as far as the eye can see: Hobart turns out for #MarchForHumanity #MarchForPalestine #EndFamine #CeasefireNow
Schiff on the Bolton raid: "They're essentially going after any critic, any opposition in an effort to intimidate them. That's what this is about. It's not about Bolton per se. It's about anyone else that like Bolton might stand up to the president."
It appears that the president is planning the invasion of an American state. So this song suddenly seems appropriate. (No, Ohio isn’t the target but the result will likely be the same) youtu.be/XYOz12OG8mI

So because of mail in voting Russia went to war with Ukraine??????? God help us.
But her emails. This will be front page news for months. Right? I don’t remember a Democratic President doing this…
This is so sad. The man died when he ran from ICE Gestapo. He was hit by a car. #iceout #california #losangeles
Who profits from this?
And while we talk about this he is hoping we forget about Epstein
By all means talk about the incompetence at the summit in Alaska and the outrageous take over of the District of Columbia. They are terrible. But don’t reward him by not continuing to talk about the Epstein connection and the women and girls they victimized. Don’t let him change the subject.
The last time the GOP tried to mess with Obamacare, they got a drubbing at the midterms. Let’s make sure that happens again this time around.
Every Democrat running for office or in a position of influence in the party should read this. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
If it’s true that Ghislaine Maxwell has been approved for work release, that is fucking insane. HER LAST JOB WAS TRAFFICKING CHILDREN.
Sad. Dishonest. Not a surprise.
How do we counter this without stooping to the lowest common denominator and/or pandering? www.wired.com/story/trump-...
I am a Christian. I believe Jesus when he tells me I am responsible for the least of us. Please help me understand how the Republican Party helps me to Love My Neighbor or Welcome the Stranger. The Beatitudes say Blessed are the merciful, Blessed are the peacemakers. That’s why I am a Democrat.
Don’t say work to earn the benefits until you understand how difficult it is to physically recover from a complicated pregnancy and how hard it is to care for a medically fragile child.
Especially since many of those babies who were born as a result of your antiabortion policy will likely be born with profound disabilities and if they survive, will need lifelong care.
In the spirit of meeting people where they are, I ask with all sincerity: if you continue to vote Republican because you oppose abortion- what are you prepared to do to protect the mothers and the children after they are born? Cutting their healthcare and food programs is not prolife.
Today the 47 regimes holding a press conference to announce they’re sending 1000 National Guard into DC to beat up the homeless. Know what we won’t hear? A plan to lower the cost of anything or when they’re going to reveal the truth about Epstein & Maxwells sex trafficking ring.
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
Another tactic to distract from the fact that the president is a convict felon, was found to be a credible rapist in a civil case that he lost, admitted that he likes to force women to kiss him while he grabs their genitalia and was probably a customer in Epstein’s child abuse and rape business.
The bribe paid off in multiple ways.
Veterans deserve better.
Air quality in Northwest Indiana has been at or near dangerous levels for a couple of weeks. Mostly caused by norther wildfires but not helped by the high temperatures and emissions from nearby steel mills. But Indiana’s governor doesn’t think we need to test air quality anymore- bad for business.
Open bribery
The 🍊💩 in the White House has decided to focus on crime in DC and bring in Federal law enforcement to take over. He is doing this to distract from his own crimes, especially his victimization of young girls and women. Do not let him get away with it. #Trump+Epstein

Pritzker’s torching Trump as the cheater he is—cheats on his wives, cheats at golf, and now plotting to cheat America out of the 2026 midterms. Abbott & Trump want rigged maps because they can’t win fair. Illinois won’t help. We won’t let them steal what they can’t earn.

Trump is turning our country’s sacred historic landmarks and turning them into Versailles 3.0 Building an obnoxious golden ballroom while millions of Americans are losing food & healthcare takes “let them eat cake” to a new level. “Donors will pay for it” is as Bullshit as Mexico pay for the wall

It isn’t crazy. JD is more dangerous and has big $$ backing him. AND if he takes over at the right time, he can serve an additional 2 full terms.
This is another post breaking down our last post. The Justice Department’s decision to fire a judge-appointed U.S. Attorney and reinstate Trump’s preferred pick, without Senate confirmation, isn’t just unusual. It’s a direct attack on the separation of powers that defines American democracy.
You’ve got to be kidding…. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/a...
He needed to be president to stay out of prison. He is certainly enjoying the other spoils of victory. And as a beneficiary of the tax policy he got passed, he will get to keep it all Trump Media builds $2bil bitcoin hoard, as cryptocurrency swells president's wealth www.cnbc.com/2025/07/21/t...
A judge in DC has ruled that the Trump administration has to stop violating public disclosure laws. This is about the administration's efforts to take over Congress' power of the purse & altho the opinion is 60 pages, what the judge has to say is worth your time. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

The Trump-led Justice Department is quietly pressuring states for access to voter rolls and election records, including swing states like Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Here’s what we know so far about the latest push to justify anti-voting policies.👇
More grift. Not even trying to hide the bribes since there is no blind trust.

NPR and PBS received ~$85 million last year in federal funding. Trump’s golf trips will cost taxpayers over $100 million this year. Republicans think kids learning to read is wasteful spending and indoctrination, while giving a blank check to their cult leader to golf isn’t.
Who was driving the car???
$10 Billion? How did he come up with that number? Is it the value of what her fears he’ll lose in the next phase of grift while in the White House? Or is it more like a playground taunt? Trump sues Murdoch for $10 billion over WSJ story on Epstein birthday letter www.cnbc.com/2025/07/18/t...

Such a disaster in a information landscape ravaged by the right in the service of fascism
This is important.
Trump is throwing everything he has at interfering with the midterms and the 2028 presidential campaigns. He is ordering Bondi to “work on” those elections. He ordered Texas to “get him 5 more red seats” by redistricting.The Epstein files likely implicate him but don’t lose sight of his agenda.
Phang: Teachers are some of the least paid, most underappreciated people, and they work in such an intimate way in our lives. Your kids spend more time at school than they do at home, at least in waking hours. So why not encourage our teachers? Why create this oppressive environment?
Do not let the crazy talk from 🍊💩 about Epstein files being faked by Obama distract you from what else he has ordered Bondi and friends to do. He is demanding that red states redistrict to give him more red seats at the midterms. For example, he ordered at least 5 more red seats in Texas.

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism. It's a lie.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
“For America, this bill is a calamity in nearly every way. The only question is whether enough Americans will feel and see that to do the GOP the political damage it deserves.” It’s on all of us to make sure people know and know who is responsible.
There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US. Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them? Or just the brown people?
Blocking a lower court from stopping the president from doing something unconstitutional seems pretty important and the failure to recognize that tests my patience with the other justices.
Make sure you talk about the cowardly act of having the rich people benefits start now but the majority of benefits cuts take effect after the midterms - and the opportunity that gives us to fix this if Democrats can win enough seats.

I’m reading “A Fever In The Heartland” by Timothy Egan about the rise of the KKK in Indiana. It reads like a playbook for the current presidential administration. Stephen Miller’s training manual. Chilling.
Threats. How many different ways can the “president” threaten? He enjoys violence.
