And don’t stop THERE! Vote for Democratic Governors and state Senators and State House members. If we want to solidify progress, we need to be strategically planning for laying the groundwork for Constitutional amendments! 👇👇👇

50 percent tariffs for our beloved neighbor and historic ally, Canada. A red carpet and a military flyover for Communist China’s leader. Donald Trump is a sick man and a danger to America.

@msnowreports.bsky.social I thought that journalists didn’t like to become part of the story? YES, the infringement of 1st Amendment free press is important, but so are freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, and other 1st Amendment rights ! Anything else going on in DC last night? Rhymes w Kennedy?

Let’s be clear: CNN, MSNOW, and other banned press are reporting the news — if Trump doesn’t want them reporting “fake news,” and “lies,” then he should #STFU
