A reminder going into the week: if a politician is more worried about appeasing wealthy donors than protecting your access to healthcare, food assistance, and basic dignity, they don’t deserve the seat they hold.

A new week, same fight. After everything the country’s been dragged through this fall, one truth remains: working families keep this country running—not the politicians playing games in DC. Let’s stay focused on who actually matters.

Because of the Republican Government Shutdown, SNAP benefits may end Nov 1. I’m building a list of food resources nationwide. Email info to [email protected] — include name, site, state & area served. No one’s coming to save us — we save each other. #VegasJoePolitics

Just finished 107 Days by Kamala Harris. Part 1 of my thoughts: it’s more than campaign memoir—it’s a look inside urgency, chaos & impossible decisions after Biden’s collapse. With more time, Harris could’ve reshaped the race. #Politics #Election2024

Vance blames the left for political violence. Please. The left isn’t telling white supremacists to “stand by” or calling journalists the “enemy of the people.” That’s Trump. Since the golden escalator, he’s fueled hate, division, and violence. Vance knows it—he’s just covering for him.

Trump is sending 200 National Guard troops to Portland, calling it a “war zone.” In reality, it’s residents resisting his goon squad. This is a distraction from GOP chaos: Epstein files, a looming shutdown, and a sinking economy. We must fight authoritarianism and call out corruption.

Republicans control the House, Senate & WH, but blame Dems for a shutdown over their own budget. Dems are right to hold firm on ACA subsidies—millions rely on them. Call your Senator (202-224-3121) & demand they stand strong. #VegasJoePolitics

Trump’s “Temu Twitter” post telling the AG to target enemies wasn’t bluster—it was a threat. Now James Comey has been indicted on 2 felony counts. This isn’t justice. It’s political retribution. If it can happen to him, it can happen to any of us. #DemocracyUnderAttack #RuleOfLaw

Halfway through Kamala Harris’s One Hundred and Seven Days. Emotional read—it takes me back to the campaign, when optimism and history felt within reach. And it reopens the wound of that November night, while reminding us why we keep fighting. #KamalaHarris #ProgressivePolitics

Trump, “Brainworm Bobby,” & Dr. Oz claimed Tylenol in pregnancy causes autism—w/o evidence. Then they pushed an iHerb supplement Oz profits from. This isn’t medicine, it’s a scam. Pseudoscience like this erodes trust in real science & puts lives at risk.

Fall’s here and so is another government shutdown. But let’s be crystal clear—this one is 100% on Republicans. They control the House, the Senate, and the White House. No both-sides nonsense. This is a MAGA shutdown, period. #RepublicanShutdown #MAGAChaos

Trump posted to Pam Bondi demanding prosecutions of Comey, Schiff & Letitia James. Presidents aren’t supposed to order the DOJ. This is how democracies fall—by normalizing authoritarian behavior. #RuleOfLaw #ProtectDemocracy

s passed a “National Day of Remembrance” for Charlie Kirk—a MAGA stunt dressed up as legislation. Even worse, NV’s Susie Lee & Dina Titus voted YES. We need leaders who fight, not fold. In NV01, check out Joy Hoover, a progressive alternative. #Nevada #JoyForNevada

So today was supposed to be Rapture Day! Yet here we all are, still stuck in traffic. Funny how the “faithful” didn’t give away their homes, cars, or cash if they truly believed they’d ascend. Maybe deep down they know it’s all a con—religious psychosis wrapped in hypocrisy.

As this year ends, we face a midterm like no other. Trump’s tariffs hurt working families, ICE commits abuses, and democracy itself is at risk. Flipping the House blue means stopping his authoritarian grip, exposing corruption, and reclaiming America. #Midterms2026 #VoteBlue

Trump signed an order declaring “antifa” terrorists. But antifa just means anti-fascist. We fought a world war to defeat fascism. Now, in 2025, some Americans are embracing it and Trump as an authoritarian. History shouldn’t have to repeat itself. #Democracy #Resist

Yesterday’s memorial for Charlie Kirk looked more like a Trump rally than a service. The President used it to declare he hates his opponents. That means he’s saying he hates half the country. That’s not leadership—it’s a cult of personality pushing an authoritarian agenda.

During Vietnam, the Smothers Brothers mocked LBJ weekly. Instead of silencing them, Johnson wrote a letter saying he understood and even appreciated their comedy. That’s leadership. That’s the First Amendment. Today’s administration doesn’t get it—and that’s dangerous.

ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel after Trump admin threats. This isn’t cancel culture—it’s government power silencing dissent. An attack on the First Amendment. If they can silence him, they can silence us. Stand up, call your reps, protect democracy. #RedAlert #FreeSpeech

Trey Reed was found hung at Delta College in Mississippi. Authorities claimed “no foul play” before investigating, despite broken limbs & inconsistencies. His family demands an independent autopsy. The media is silent. We must not be. Say his name: Trey Reed. #JusticeForTreyReed

Some Charlie Kirk fans are speculating he will resurrect from the dead. They’ve already called him the MLK of our time and now compare him to Jesus. This isn’t Christianity—it’s idolatry. American Christianity worships the powerful while scapegoating the marginalized.

Democracy is on the line in California this Nov. Prop 50 isn’t just a local issue—it’s the frontline in stopping Trump’s authoritarian push. Texas has already rigged its maps, others are following. We must fight back now. Vote YES on Prop 50 and protect democracy. #YesOnProp50

Weird Flex!

Opinions are for small things—like pineapple on pizza or football teams. But denying trans rights, LGBTQIA+ equality, or women’s healthcare isn’t an “opinion.” It’s oppression. You can have your own opinion, but not your own set of facts.

MAGA wants us to “respect the dead,” but respect is earned in life, not handed out in death. Charlie Kirk was racist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, and defended guns over children’s lives. His death doesn’t erase his hateful legacy.

Spare me the GOP’s fake outrage over Charlie Kirk. MAGA built this gun culture, flaunted AR-15s in ads, mocked grieving parents, and blocked every reform. Now when one of their own falls to the violence they unleashed, they demand sympathy? No. This is their America.

Yesterday’s assassination of Charlie Kirk was horrific—but I do not mourn him. He spread hate, lies, and propaganda that harmed marginalized communities. He is no hero, no martyr, no saint. Mourning him is like mourning Osama bin Laden or Mussolini. #GunReformNow #EndGunViolence

24 years since 9/11. We mourn the lives lost, but we also face the truth: Bush, Cheney & the elites used tragedy to push endless wars, mass surveillance, Islamophobia, torture & lies about WMDs. The terrorists struck, but our leaders caused wounds that still bleed.

VegasJoePolitics condemns the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Political violence has no place in our democracy. We fight harmful ideas with truth, organizing, and the ballot box—not bullets.

In 2016, I had sympathy for Trump voters who regretted it. By 2020, it was fading. But after 2024? None. We’d already seen his chaos, lies, cruelty, and the blueprint for authoritarian rule in Project 2025. They chose fascism. They get zero compassion now. #NoSympathy #Project2025

Speaker Mike Johnson claims Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case. Do they think we’re stupid—or are they? This isn’t just a lie, it’s propaganda. Trump flew on Epstein’s plane, bragged about “young women,” and now MAGA wants to rewrite history. Justice still waits for survivors.

A MAGA congressional candidate bragged about calling ICE on a Hyundai battery plant, leading to 450 Korean engineers being detained. These experts were building a facility that promised 9,000 jobs. Now $350B in South Korean investment is at risk—all to “own the libs.”

Trump’s military strike on a Venezuelan boat killed 11. The excuse? Cartel smugglers—yet no proof. JD Vance praises it, but even Rand Paul calls it what it is: execution without trial. That’s a war crime. Trump is dragging America into illegal wars in our name. #WarCrimes #NoKings

Trump is floating the idea that Americans want a dictator. We don’t bow to kings or tyrants. On October 18th, the second No King’s Day protest happens nationwide. Mark your calendars, mobilize, and show the world we will not be silent. #NoKingsDay #October18 #DefendDemocracy

Trump, the sitting President, just posted an AI image of himself as a warlord, bragging about “deportation in the morning” and calling it the “Department of War.” He is openly fantasizing about unleashing the U.S. military on Chicago. This is fascism in real time—we must resist.

Mark your calendars: October 18th is No Kings Day—a reminder that democracy means we the people, not monarchs, not dictators, not strongmen. Power belongs to the people, not to those who crave a crown. ✊ #NoKingsDay #Democracy #WeThePeople #FightForFreedom #VegasJoePolitics

Zaran Mandani won the NYC mayoral primary. But instead of backing him, Jeffries & Schumer stay silent, and Gillibrand launches an Islamophobic rant. Dems preach “vote blue no matter who” until it’s a progressive. This hypocrisy hands power to authoritarians. #VegasJoePolitics

Republicans turned vaccines into a political weapon. Scientists resign, hacks promoted, and it’s so bad that Democratic governors are creating their own CDC to protect the truth. This isn’t just reckless—it’s deadly. #VegasJoePolitics #VaccinesSaveLives #CDC

Prop 50 goes to a special election Nov 4, 2025. CA could redraw maps to counter TX gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is wrong—no matter who does it—but if only one side cheats, democracy doesn’t survive. Don’t sit this one out. #VegasJoePolitics #Prop50 #FightForDemocracy

The U.S. Air Force wants to give Ashlee Babbitt full military honors. Let’s be clear—Babbitt was no patriot, she was a traitor who died attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6. Honoring her is like honoring Benedict Arnold. This isn’t patriotism—it’s betrayal. #VegasJoePolitics

Big thanks to everyone who sent me birthday wishes! 🎉🙏 You all made my day—feeling the love and really appreciate you! 💙✨

Trump has said 3 times in the last week that “people” want him to be a dictator. That’s not a joke—it’s a strategy. Authoritarianism creeps in slowly, with leaders testing limits until the public accepts the unacceptable. He’s telling us who he is. Believe him. #VegasJoePolitics

Trump is stripping Kamala Harris of her Secret Service protection at the end of his term. Republicans call it “cost-cutting” while burning $1M a day occupying DC with the Guard. This isn’t budgeting—it’s authoritarian power play. #ProtectKamala #DemocracyUnderAttack

Nevada is under a ransomware siege—state services offline, DMV closed, data stolen but unclear what. CISA & FBI on the case, Gov says recovery underway. New site + 211 hotline for updates. Check local news for details. #NevadaCyberStrike #VegasJoePolitics

MAGA has mastered controlling the narrative while Dems too often play defense. That’s why Newsom connects—he fights back and reframes. If Democrats want to win in 2026 and 2028, they must seize the narrative, push real solutions, and stop letting the far-right define the terms.

Privilege isn’t a bad word—it’s a chance to do good. Recognize it, use it to vote for justice, amplify silenced voices, and stand in solidarity with marginalized communities. None of us can do everything, but each of us can do something. Together, we create change. ✊

Texas just erased Democratic seats at Trump’s request by redrawing maps. That’s election rigging, not democracy. California’s Prop 50 is their counterstrike. I hate gerrymandering, but when one side uses it to destroy democracy, you fight fire with fire. Prop 50 must pass. #SaveDemocracy

Real change starts in the primaries! Joy Hoover is challenging Dina Titus for NV-01 because working families deserve a real voice. She’s a bold progressive ready to fight for healthcare, housing & justice. Follow her, donate, and spread the word! www.joyfornv.com/home

The First Amendment protects free speech—including burning the flag. SCOTUS ruled that in 1989. Yet a 20-year combat vet was ARRESTED for doing just that in front of the White House. This is not patriotism. It’s authoritarianism, and it should terrify every American. #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment
