“Half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you.”—Mike Johnson’s famous last words. The most useless Speaker of the House is offering protection to Trump’s sycophants. Try not breaking laws you little meatballs. VOTE THESE CORRUPT CRIMINALS OUT!
This is one helluva closing message for the midterms from Trump’s Little Johnson (R-LA). Vote for Congressional Republicans so they can continue to allow #TrumpsAbuseOfPower and corruption because Democrats will conduct oversight. Vote every one of these enablers out.

At least 75 career federal officials who’d played important roles in elections have left, been fired or been reassigned. In their place are roughly two dozen people Trump installed in positions that could affect elections. Ten of them actively worked to reverse the 2020 vote. (Published April)

Trump is treating the justice department like a gang of thugs to sic on anyone he disagrees with - labor unions, democratic groups, political opponents. It’s incumbent on all Americans to stand against this desecration of our basic liberties. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/u...

Showing up and taking the 5th is not contemptuous, it’s a constitutional right. NOT showing up at all like Jim Jordan didn’t when he was subpoenaed? THAT is contempt.

BREAKING: I'm suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to STOP the $1.8B slush fund. The Justice Department violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it established the fund, and it must be set aside. You can read my complaint here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

Because, you see, Harris is a normal, able, basically well-intentioned human being, even if you don't much like her, and Trump is an enraged, dangerously insane, incompetent, fascist clown. But that doesn't stop the midwits from looking under rocks for valid reasons for why people voted for Trump.

Kamala's WORST day would have beaten the F out of Trump's BEST day in office.
You know what would have prevented all this? More people voting for Kamala Harris. That's just simply true no matter what anybody thinks of her. The Very Serious People will keep insisting that it's more complicated than that. It's not.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Democrats sued to block President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting mail-in voting Wednesday, calling it “unconstitutional” and designed to rig elections ahead of the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump's VERY FABULOUS health care plan to replace the ACA will be released in ... two weeks. That was how many years ago? #MATA MAKE AMERICA THINK AGAIN! A functional memory would be useful to MAKE AMERICA THINK AGAIN! #USDEMOCRACY
YOU have heard this BULLSHIT before: Two weeks! Two more weeks! The war will be complete in two more weeks or maybe three weeks! #usdemocracy

The Constitution is decidedly anti-king. Not only does it prohibit the United States from conferring titles of nobility, but it also prohibits its officers from accepting any “Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

“To sum it up,” Pete Curran, a staff meteorologist for Watch Duty, a nonprofit that tracks wildfires live and sends updates to users in real time, and former chief of the Orange County Fire Department, put it bluntly: “We are scared shitless.” wapo.st/4uMpUd1
