(3) None of my friends or classmates have talked about who's running or what's on the ballot. Saw some posts online but no one in my social circle talked about it so I didn't vote. The people who didn't vote get their news information on social media from You Tube, Instagram, and TikTok. Our future.

(2) I didn't vote because I haven't been in the loop with the news cycle. It's hard to handle and a little overwhelming and difficult to process. The midterms don't have as much info so you're basically guessing.The election just sprang up on me and caught me off guard. It's a little small election.

Why I didn't vote in the last election. There were 17 state wide propositions, assorted school board races and a congressional seat that's been vacant since March. it's in a district that votes traditionally Democrat and the governor decides not to have a special election. Welcome to Texas.

They are going to shift some services to private health care by framing the move as better service with more choices. They are abandoning the implied compact they have with veterans to save money for who Mr Collins? I don't want to hear about how this administration supports veterans again.

How do you go into a meeting without the numbers to backup the cuts. Collins had said before that veterans would not see a reduction in service, how does that work with his budget? He has betrayed any trust veterans had in him. This administration is moving towards privatisation of some services.

I just watched a video of the head of the VA Doug Collins in a meeting with Congress to go over a budget that he is submitting with $17 billion in cuts to medical services. When he was asked to explain where the cuts were coming from he said he didn't have all the information, more than once.

(3) Then we make sure that only citizens vote, no immigrants like before. Meanwhile Democrats in Congress are silent, Governor's Newsom and Pritzker understand that we're in a war to save our country and we need to fight back, words aren't enough. Sad truth, if we lose the midterms democracy dies.

(2) The Democrats are the reason for the crime. But Republicans have a plan, they can help all you need to do is invite us into your cities. We'll send in federal agents and the national guard to restore order. We might have to stay for a while to reduce all the crime. Maybe until the next election.

Live in Fear, that's what Mike Johnson and the Republicans are telling you. Lock your doors and close the blinds, it's not safe outside. There's crime everywhere, but only in cities with democratic mayors. But the Republicans have a plan to help. The Democrats aren't going to help you.

Good news for all those COVID-19 vaccine deniers in Texas. The legislature passed a bill to let you purchase Ivermectin over the counter. No more doctors approval needed, no more trips to the animal feed store and having to guess on the dosage, bonus it kills parasites too. Recommended by RFK Jr.

(3) Bottom line, it's another move by the Trump administration to open up public land to extraction of natural resources including mining and drilling for oil and gas. It's pretty obvious this is more payoffs for support for Trump's reelection campaign. The question is how many more payoffs to go?

(2) The person behind the change is USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, a lawyer and member of The America First Policy Institute,a conservative think tank. She's being assisted by the US Forest Service chief, Tom Schultz who formerly worked procuring timber for a company in Idaho.

Not so good news for anyone who likes to go hiking and camping and fishing in the National Forests. The USDA is planning on rescinding the Roadless Rule that protects the National Forests from road building and logging in a lot of the virgin forest. They have framed the change as land management.

Trump said in an interview that Netanyahu's a war hero with what he's done in Gaza, And since Trump supports his efforts that makes trump a war hero too. That's the thought process of our president. If you've ever thought he might be deranged you would be right.

If Mike Johnson and the Republicans really cared about transparency they wouldn't have voted against a Democrat request to make the files public. Their hypocrisy is on full display and makes Trump look like he's hiding something.
