Trump & Republican attempts to cancel, cancel out or otherwise sabotage the elections must be called out, among other things, as cowardice. They know they will lose. Cancelling the election is like not showing up for the Super Bowl or preventing the opponent from getting to the stadium. Cowards.

And remind voters who don't understand which party will protect Social Security and which will not.

Spread the word

Anyone but Rutschman! Quality switch-hitting catchers don't grow on trees and switch-hitters are a vital commodity on this team. As Adley goes, so go the O's.

And McConnell was leading the charge back then.

As Rutschman goes, so go the O's.

Many don't realize he's won more Oriole games I42) than any other pitcher since 2016, he's gone 41-34 since 2022. He was key to 2023 but even last yr. he was 11-10 on a losing team w/ WAR 2nd to Rogers for pitchers (4th on team). His disrespectful Spring demotion messed him up & caused his injury.

Trump's reflecting pool is a perfect symbol to use for Dems' election campaigns.

Enforcing the taxing of the rich is half the battle, right?

But then it's said Dems still have to prove to many voters they will do better. Sadly, some still need to be informed that it's Dems who brought us Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, higher wages, all our protections, & all equal rights laws -- so it's Dems who will protect & restore these things.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

It's not just Trump. Since well-before this 2012 song, Republicans have aimed to widen the wealth gap, cause recessions, start false wars, end health care, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, equal rights, voting rights & democracy: "Vote Them Away": www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gq-...

Trumpville 2025

Republican leaders want us to choose between food and medicine as they take back their tax payments and gild their ballrooms.

The Democrats voted to save the health care of Americans. So the Republicans shut down the government. Plain and simple.

This is how Trump rewards the people who put him in power.

Nor 2026 -- at least, not a viable one.

And none of them are using their power to restore American democracy.

For what it's worth "Baseball Reference" shows a MLB Average ERA as 3.90 for year 1959, 3.70 for year 1975, and 4.14 for year 2025 -- so far. This does not take into account starters vs. relievers.

The answer is blowin' in the wind. Or as many as are left before it's too late, unless enough of the nation is effectively exposed to them enough to grasp them.

Hang on to your books.

Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

Did not enough hear or do not enough fear?

Too expensive to watch a AA team. Espec. if you bought your tix while the post-injury O's were playing .600 ball in June-July. Some lifelong die-hards may not live long enough to see a competitive team. The O's mean too much for some fans to merely hope again while mgmt. plays fantasy baseball.

Why don't we hear it mentioned that, if not for the Covid vaccine, we would still have a pandemic killing an untold thousands upon thousands of people?

No Kings March June 14 -- There are many, many millions of Americans who are profoundly against the Trump Administration. All of us, not just thousands, need to get out there this time for these marches. No one should stay on the sidelines & just root for us or watch clips on TV.

American leaders must call this out immediately in resounding unison. These are the words of an Un-American President.

This is indeed what they are going to do if we don’t stop them.

If you paid $1 In federal income taxes, you paid more than: Tesla in 2024 & 2022 AT&T in 2021 Nike in 2020 FedEx in 2020 Dish Network in 2020 Amazon in 2017-2018 Elon Musk in 2018 Jeff Bezos in 2007 & 2011 Carl Icahn in 2016-2017 Yes. It’s time to tax the rich.

This week, Dems need to threaten Congressmen with recall elections. By 2026, Musk & Co. may well have technological election sabotage mechanisms in place. This recall tactic could change a few Congressional votes esp. in light of the mass protests.

Rachel - Suggesting an immediate tactic for local Dem leaders: To call for recall elections of GOP Congressmen as a way of nudging their Congressional votes, espec in light of the groundswell of national protests. By 2026, Musk & Co. may well have technological election sabotage mechanisms in place

In my view, assumption after assumption is how we got here. We have to fight and fight to get another real election to occur.

This list & all the rest of it is simply pure, huge & under-reported news that should be featured as a daily tally in every publication that calls itself a newspaper.

Trump just issued an extraordinary Executive Order that would give “the DOGE Administrator”—that is Elon Musk—access to the voter files of every state for the purpose of purging millions of Americans from voter rolls. www.gregpalast.com/trump-musk-o...

No joke. On Tuesday, Trump issued an extraordinary Executive Order that would give “the DOGE Administrator,” that is, Elon Musk, access to the voter files of every state for the purpose of purging millions of Americans from voter rolls as suspected “non-citizens.” open.substack.com/pub/gregpala...
