Good news. I finally received my ballot today! Filled it out, marched it right down to the post office, asked the clerk to put a received date on the envelope, and watched as she did it. Safe travels little ballot. The hopes of a nation go wirh you and all the other ballots around the USA.
I requested my NY absentee ballot be mailed to my SC address. They said it was mailed 10/8 but I haven’t received it as of 10/18. If it doesn’t come in the next few days, I’ll call my board of elections to find out my options. We’re 922 miles away, but will drive back if that’s what we have to do.
Democrats for Mike Rogers, a group that has spent millions of dollars to defeat Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, is funded by Republican-aligned organizations, campaign finance records show.
Imagine trying to squeeze Trump’s bloated ankles into hockey skates! 🤭 Now imagine him trying to stand up on ice skates never mind actually skate!🤣 Not difficult to imagine Carney skating. He played hockey in college and there are recent photos of him on skates.
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.
NO media
1000s are marching in DC to defend voting rights; 90 orgs signed on, Reuters sent photographers, but local media
Bernie Sanders, AOC and Martin Luther King III attended
Wa Post buried it
A Black-led march is visible in DC only after somebody else reports it
Repost the march they buried
Trump said Natalie is the only one who loved him as much as his wife and kid. Natalie left private messages for Trump saying he is all that matter’s to her. Natalie’s own brother said their relationship was inappropriate. But let’s pretend Ossoff is being a misogynist for stating the obvious.
I just learned they sell books with blank pages for decoration? I mean, do people use them as sketch pads or do they truly just sit empty on a table and are never opened? I thought a nice book on a table was an invitation for family or friends to open it. Fake plants, food, and now books. 🤷🏼♀️
McConnell claims he’s been in the hospital for over a month even though he didn’t break any bones, suffer a concussion, heart attack or stroke, no tumors or hemorrhages, merely a brief period of unconsciousness and a mild case of pneumonia. 🐂💩
Adding large quantities of hydrogen peroxide to a recently painted was probably a dumbass move but someone should investigate whether the spots where the paint is peeling on the reflecting pool coincide with the places where Trump drove his motorcade after the surface was newly painted.
Ossoff: Because in our time, what those who build ballrooms and monuments to themselves, who rake in billions through foreign princes while the people's savings vanish, along with their hospitals, what they hate the most is when the people try to hold them accountable at the polls.
I’m watching the frustratingly slow process of building scaffolding to remove Trump’s name from Kennedy Center and I didn’t recall scaffolding when they put it up so I did a Google search. 🫤
Live feeds everywhere of the Kennedy Center in anticipation of the moment Trump’s name is pried off the building. If his attempt to stop it fails, will they put up a barrier to block view of the work then remove the barrier under cover of darkness to thwart a celebration. He IS that petty.
If the violent entertainment is eventually accompanied by free monthly food vouchers, will this be enough for the masses to willingly accept losing their Constitutional rights? #BreadAndCircuses
If we preemptively attack another country and they retaliate by attacking our military bases, can we really call it self defense when retaliate for their retaliation?
Today my eleven year old granddaughter walked to our house after school. It was a beautiful day. We popped popcorn, then sat on the back porch and used chopsticks to eat the salty, buttery deliciousness. A bit of perfection in a world gone mad.
How does Trump still have this much sway over the Republican Party? Watching the Republican primaries, it seems like they’re willing to follow him right over a cliff.
Donald Trump’s “fund” is taxpayer money he is using to purchase a loyal MAGA Army to threaten, intimidate…and carry out violent acts in and around the elections. Call it what it is.
At least 33 convicted criminals pardoned by Trump for J6 riots have gone on to commit other crimes including:
- 2 rape
- 6 child sex crimes
- 5 illegal weapons possession
-5 drunk driving 2 resulting in fatalities
Now, Trump plans to give them financial restitution from his new $1.8B slush fund.
First his hand-picked Supreme Court justices declared him to have absolute immunity as president. Now his hand-picked Acting Attorney General had declared that he and his family cannot now nor any time in the future be audited by the IRS. Oh and his acting AG also gave him. $1.8B slush fund.
This is only the beginning.
He has no plans to leave office or allow free elections. Nor are his plans hidden—they're all unfolding in plain sight.
The Insurrection never ended and the Christofascists won't stop until our democracy is gone.
Choose who you'll be in this moment.
I’m trying to find if there is any reporting that says Trump or his family cannot receive any of the slush fund money. I can’t find anything that either confirms or denies.
When I see these “we shall overcome(again)” signs, the sadness just overwhelms me. I can’t imagine how it feels for black men and women. I’ve heard it said that Slavery is America’s original sin. I believe racism will be our demise.
