This is an inspiration for a really phenomenal piece of writing FROM me. Not sure when I will get it written and revised and edited well enough to be published but, make no mistake: Barack Obama inspired it and ME!

#MorningVibe You belong. Don’t doubt it.

He NEEDS to own people in government to remain "successful", because without subsidies, handouts, and corporate welfare, he can't "make it". He's a pretender, a grifter, a beggar, and a fraud.

Why is the richest man in the world trying to buy a senate seat in Texas? Musk and Corrupt Ken Paxton are cut from the same cloth. Neither are native Texans but think Texas belongs to them alone Elon’s millions have failed to move the needle for Corrupt Ken at all. Texas will not be bought

More than 5 million people have lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits since President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill passed last year. That has meant many more people are turning to food banks for support. https://to.pbs.org/47Sb4rd

"An up to date federal farm program is essential to helping Iowa family farmers and other family farmers across the nation plan their farm operations. But this Congress, and the Iowans in it, have been unable to enact a new one since the old one expired." piatt.substack.com/p/iowans-in-...

Florida is worth fighting for. I know it and you do too. Down here on the ground, we know something the pundits and donor class seem unable to see: Floridians are ready for change and we are the heroes we've been waiting for to see us through. #AngieforFlorida

There’s a reason my opponent won’t debate me. There’s a reason she won’t go on TV to answer questions. Ashley Moody is hiding from Florida voters. So we’re taking this campaign straight to them. Thank you to all the folks who came to our Disney Town Hall. #AngieForFlorida

Voting is our power to make change. So vote for yourself, the kids, and everyone who can't.

There was a rabid MAGA guy giving everybody shit, especially William H Macy. Fortunately, he wasn't phased and graciously told us why he thinks it's important to use his voice/platform to speak out for voting and against the current administration.

The UN pick is the tell. Orban has long called sovereignty negotiable and treated occupation as a peace process, so of course he wants the one job where that becomes official doctrine. Laughingstock undersells it, it would be handing Moscow the gavel.

If this comes to fruition and Orban is seriously considered, our nation will cement its position as being the laughingstock of the global stage! This is unconscionable, as so many actions of this "administration" have proven to be.

The Security Council must recommend a candidate. Then the General Assembly must appoint one. WSJ reports Orban is interested. He will run only if he is confident of winning. Trump and JD Vance are expected to back him. An announcement could come after the US midterms.

Republicans endanger children. This is one example but let's take a look at what's happening to children in #ICE detention. They are being denied medical attention, as well as healthy food & water. They are experiencing mental illness because they're being tortured. Vote blue & Vote early!

washingtonpost.comWoman in ad who said a Democrat endangers kids pleaded guilty to endangering kidsShellie Flockhart, who called Iowa Democratic House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott “dangerous” for kids, pleaded guilty after authorities said she drove drunk with her children in the car in 2017.

Lindsay James is actually in touch with real Iowans. She knows "Real Iowans" ride bikes! Not only does she know we need those bike lanes, she is planning to "fix the road" so more of us can take advantage of them. Vote Lindsay James now or on Election Day.

The average family that heats their home with oil is going to pay $1500 more this winter because of Donald Trump’s insane Iran War. Some people will go cold. Some may die. This isn’t hyperbole. This is the consequence of having a president who just doesn’t care about you.

When you vote, please remember: Trump did this! People receiving food stamps dropped from 41.6 million in July 2025, before the "One Big Beautiful Bill" took effect, to 36.5 million in June 2026, 13% decrease, according to the latest data from the USDA. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The legislative, executive and judicial branches have specific powers that can limit or "check" the powers of the other branches. This is how it's supposed to work. Trump and his minions have chosen to disregard these guardrails of democracy so it is our job to stop them. Vote!

Words matter. Actions matter more. What does it mean to do justice and walk humbly? Drawing inspiration from the biblical prophet Micah, Eunice reflects on how those values connect to leadership, public service, and accountability. #FaithAndLeadership #Election2026

So if you’re furious as you fill up your tank, just remember Exxon is making a lot of money off you.

This administration will go down in history as the most corrupt, reprehensible, embarrassing, shameful, inept, unserious, self-serving, globally-damaging, AWFUL one in the history of this United States of America.

That's not where this will end. On his last day in office, Trump is going to issue a blanket pardon for EVERY POLITICAL APPOINTEE IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH for all crimes committed between January 20, 2025 and January 20, 2029. Mark my words.
