Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

With Reuters reporting that the order to cut Starlink/Starshield came from inside the White House, it should be very clear how much we must VOTE BLUE up and down the ballot! Elect a Congress that will impeach this traitor!

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

Politicians use their office to get rich. Those days have got to end. No revolving door for lobbyists, no congressional stock trading, no corporate PAC money.
