It's time to replace them. Canvass links below. 273

Reposted by Blue DotCongressman Hank Johnson @hankjohnson.house.gov · 25/08/2026While the recent #SCOTUS ruling cleared the path for Trump to attack mail-in ballots, there are 2 cases pending that could stop the administration in their tracks.

Reposted by Blue DotRon Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Trump foreign policy is the opposite of chess. Chess requires you to anticipate moves from your opponent, think through them, and make plans to counter and take advantage of them. He doesn’t do that. He plows forward and assumes his opponent will be incapable of resistance. 2812681495
Blue Dot @eddierat.bsky.social · 14/08/2026He's lying now just as he was lying then. There's no way that he actually believed RFKjr. He thought that he could convince people that was just an innocent victim of deception. What a cynical ass. 020
Blue Dot @eddierat.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Does he expect us to be as gullible as he wants us to think he was? My contention is that he knew that he was being lied to, but thought he could get away with pretending that he was just gullible. 050
