Democrats won many elections in many states last night, local and statewide ballot issues also. Don't believe you can rest on your laurels. If the trend is to continue then so is the effort. Those in power are going to after everyone who spoiled their plans. DON'T REST,KEEP UP THE RESISTANCE.

Home of the brave (as long as you believe in Frump), land of the free, (as long as you don't look like an immigrant) What happened to us, how did we let this take place? Generations of this madness is facing us. VOTE or suffer the consequences.

I'm not a political pundit, just an observer of the mess we are in. My belief, is that the democrats focus too much time on Frump, although he has earned all the criticism. With the shutdown they are focusing energy on health care and that is a cause that can unite support behind them.

Where is my country headed? We don't discuss, we accuse. Listening is becoming a lost art. We used to be able to voice our opinion, now it can put you in jail or being accused as a terrorist. Saying you disagree with the president was our right, now you could find yourself being threatened.

In 1937 Germany, to disagree with the leader usually meant a death sentence. So, I guess just being fired is an improvement.

Let's see, it's 1937 to 1938 and first we get rid of dissenters in the party, then outlaw other parties, then eliminate free speech. Any of this seems familiar?

Short story. I have a black lab (rescue) who I think is almost human. Listening to all the Sunday morning political shows with me, she came over to my chair and sat down and stared. Then she looked at th TV and went into the bedroom and laid down as if she had heard enough. Pretty smart, huh!

I wish Frump to be gone, but not by having an epidemic that could have been prevented by proper use of vaccines. This country needs competency in all areas of government and especially in health. Do we really want another recession caused by RFK and the guy that hired him?

If HE needs a vaccine and RFK says no, is this a 2 for 1?

I remember when congress listened to the President but did not blindly obey every utterance. We used to have two parties and now we have one party (Dems) and one person and his underlings. Where did we go wrong to let this happen? Its more than the millions who did not vote. We are ill.

Todays news feed said that every state will lose at least one rural hospital because of the Medicaid cuts. Maybe we should now title the GOP as the COP (Cruel Old Party). They don't seem to care about anyone except making the rich richer and genuflecting Frump. Am I wrong?

Why is it that this administration won't put in an effort to allow a path to citizenship for those immigrants who are hardworking and have contributed Billions in taxes instead of insisting that people on legitimate assistance will go replace farm workers. Conspiracy nuts=MAGA.

Just curious, how much money did MAGA DOGE save by cutting 550 people from the NWS? Was it worth it you cowards who wouldn't stand up to Frump? And I just saw that hurricane hunter flights were reduced. That means we won't know how severe the storm is developing. Another disaster is coming!!

The man arrested for threatening Frump was identified after his posts on Bluesky. He is a former Lt. In the USCG. If you think your posts are safe, they are not. We used to have free speech and we no longer do. Be cautious.

There is always been a rumor that for Frump to achieve total control is to declare "Martial Law". Is he going to make the LA riot as a pretext for it? Sooner or later he is going to overstep his authority because he is King in his mind.

The Congressional Budget Office just said our taxes would go down and our debt would go up and 10-11 million people would lose their health coverage if the Big Beautiful Bill passes. Is this what we want as Americans? The rich people get richer, the US goes deeper in debt and Medicaid is gone.

Maybe we should save money by not prosecuting anyone who Frump likes as it is a waste of time and manpower. He will pardon a criminal conviction for anyone that donated money to him or thinks it will gain him some support with his base. Still waiting for his jail sentence.

How many of you are wondering the same thing about gas prices? The prices going up and down on a daily basis. In the last 7 days down 30 cents, up 20, up 7, down 10, up 15, down 8. I don't know where Frump gets his info but I have never seen the $1.98 a gallon he is talking about. Its $3.05 today.

WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS !!!!! Maybe the First People, the Native Americans, should deport us to Europe. MAGAs first to go.

Where is the voice of our next President? I hear a mixture of voices out there, but where is the one person who can stop the MAGA madness? If DNC is doing their due diligence some hope of a new future has to be leaked to us. We need someone youngish, intelligent, and dedicated to the task.

I am not an international finance person, so can anyone tell me what is Frumps impact on the value of our currency. I see not only tariffs costing us more but the value of the dollar dropping means our money buys less. Double whammy......

I heard today that the reason Frump is penalizing Harvard is because they rejected Baron's application. Purdue did also, maybe they are next for orange head's temper tantrum. Good or bad, we hae never had a President that is so petty.

You can't blame Frump for everything (Did that get your attention). White supremacists, nationalists, oligarchy, racism, ignorance, etc. led us to this point in our history. After WW2 we struggled, didn't have a lot, but we worked together (both parties) to get better. What happened?

For those of you that don't care what is going on by practising " Ignorance is Bliss", I would like to see how you handle it when you lose your job or your investments or your social security, or your Medicaid. WAKE UP!!!!!

Another cycle of Frump tanking the stock market, all the billionaires buy when stock is low. Next day there is a boom and everyone sells high and then waits for the next cycle. I mean, what's wrong with that?

Tesla dealers announced they are not taking used Teslas in on trade in. IT'S WORKING!!!!!!

Two of my 4 children are MAGAs. One listens to only Fox and Frump and I cannot have a political discussion with him. The other listens to Fox and 2 other news outlets and I can have a very good discussion. If you have a split family try getting the MAGA to listen to 1 other news program.

For the crowds who showed up to protest the assault on democracy today, I am proud of you. There is hope for America. No matter how small or big your contribution is, it continues the resistance.

Please do something diferent Democratic Party. The list of figures leading for the future are the same people!!! What about Kelly, Shapiro, Duckworth, governors even Mark Cuban? We need new blood not to recirculating old blood. There are a lot of young new voters, appeal to them.

I hope you're not counting on the situation to improve when Musk leaves. The country is still going to be administered by the worst possible choices, not only unqualified but dangerous.

We lost the last election because enough of you did not vote. If we lose the 2026 election and don't take back the house because you didn't vote again, then you will get what you deserve. Complaints will fall on deaf ears.

There are so many reasons to hate Frump for all the things that he has or will do in the months to come. But what has become of the party of cowards (Republicans) that they are scared of him to the point they are throwing democracy away. There used to be good ones, where are they?

I don't know how you feel about this but I'm tired of old men trying to run a government the way THEY think it should be run. I think it is time for women to take over. Sure there are some bad ones but the majority seem to have the right ideas on what we need.

Just read a report on surveys taken in US. Did you know there is more registered Democrats than Republicans? What the hell happened then, did they go to sleep, didn't care about the election, what? If we want to take back the country we have to get involved. Wake up!!!!

There is a new book out titled "How to be a Grownup", a lesson in adulting. Maybe we should provide copies to Frump and his cabinet. Unless they don't read, we know they haven't read the Constitution.

We need to start promoting the names of people to start leading the party and possibly be the next Pres. candidate. I nominate Mark Kelly. Who else do you want on that list?

Is any else bothered by these almost campaign like ads that every day tells us how great Frump is great for America? And did you notice who was paying for them?

There are so many pictures of mushrooms on Bluesky. To grow mushrooms, keep them in the dark and feed them bullshit. Oh wait, that's not shrooms that's the American public.

The latest polling of the Democratic party is 29% favorable. Today's question for the class is, is it going to continue to decline or is there any hope of improvement? When is the mtg of the leaders to work on this or maybe there isn't any.

As a grandfather there is nothing more rewarding than holding my newest addition to the family. Want her to grow up in a better world than at present.

As a member of The Silent Generation I think we need to change the name. We are not silent, we were witness to what happened to the world when people were silent. Fight, resist, organize, be vocal but don't be complacent.

How is this for a scenario? Putin dies, moderates take over Russia, all troops leave Ukraine. Nato and EU move into help rebuild. Trump has a stroke. Europes economy booms while ours tanks. Mid terms put Democrats in majority for House and Senate. Just a dream, but it was a good one.

Who do you blame more for this mess? Frump, the people who voted for him, or the vast majority of Americans who didn't get off their ass and go to vote.

Just wondering, if DOGE cancels a clinical trial by firing those that run it and it results in a participant passing away, can that family file a wrongful death lawsuit?

Let's face it: If we don't take back the House of Rep... in 2026, we are screwed.

If you believe in signs then here is one for you. When I started the car this morning, XM Channel 7 was playing, Helpless, Helpless, Helpless by CSNY. Neil Young's voice spoke to me.

Do you remember the Rocky Horror Picture Show? Doesn't this all seem like some version of it, with strange people in charge making ridiculous decisions and have everyone hooping and hollering about brilliant it was.

Maybe if Ukraine gives Frump right to build a golf course and a hotel he might be more supportive.

When praising Zelensky remember that Frumps light has to shine brighter than anyones or he will be pissed and take revenge. Narcissism is like that.

The only good thing that came out of the White House debacle is the uniting of the EU and NATO more than I have ever seen. Somehow it is comforting to know that they see what we see.
