It is more clear than ever that the GOP leadership is the Vichy government to trump's dictitorial takeover of the once proud US. Republicans Block Effort to Check Trump’s Power in Venezuela www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

I guess that makes trump the new messiah. Is that better than a peace prize?

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked an extension of the ACA tax credits. AGAIN. This legislation passed the House with BIPARTISAN support. Republicans are playing games while your health care premiums more than double.

Well ... Cherubim do appear as naked child like beings in a lot of renaissance paintings, so I guess it fits.

Not unexpected from a regime that values the exercise of power above the rule of law, honor, ethics, and morality. U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

Just to be clear, as a "white people" that grew up in a single wide trailer, served 6 yrs in the Navy, got a degree in physics, raised a family - I was never badly treated 'cause I'm not a victim. Trump Says Civil Rights Led to White People Being ‘Very Badly Treated’ www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Cartoon by Joe Heller | Hellertoon.com

When Trump says he "isn't worried about boots on the ground" in Venezuela, that's because he isn't talking about his family.    American citizens must have a say about any act of war. It is OUR soldiers and OUR money at stake.

I'm attending Indivisible's event, “Protest ICE murder in Minneapolis - Bellevue” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Over 2,000 letters have already been sent to representatives demanding a vote to abolish ICE & to impeach & indict Bovino & members of the Trump Regime complicit in ICE’s execution of Renee Nicole Good. Keep the heat on ICE and double that # by sending a letter at this link & sharing it everywhere:

Today the Don-Roe Doctrine. Tomorrow Manifest Destiny.

Kristi (Heinrich Müller) Noem says the ICE agent behaved “consistent with his training.” Apparently, ICE agents are trained to try to stop a fleeing vehicle with their body and if that doesn’t work, to shoot anyone in the car. (And then hide quickly.) www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

We can't change the past, but we can learn from it. Remember Jan 6th, and bring your community out against this regime at the soon-to-be announced No Kings 3. Remember Jan 6th, and in the coming Dem primaries, don't settle for the party we had - demand the party we need. www.indivisible2026.org

Accountability is lacking… so far.

Respecting the Bill of Rights means respecting freedom of religion for everyone. Tuberville's record shows a pattern of Christian nationalism, not constitutional fidelity.

My wish is to someday be accused by trump (I refuse to capitalize it) of driving MAGA supporters crazy (crazier?). Maybe I can ask Santa?

If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what.   Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market.   All thanks to Republican inaction.

Trump wants to say affordability is a hoax, but he's a clueless billionaire grifter. Everyone who actually buys their own groceries can tell you life is getting more expensive. And not only are Republicans NOT doing ANYTHING to help—they're making things WORSE.
