Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

As the Trump administration has relentlessly pursued immigrants, federal agents have run roughshod over the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens. We’re showing you every incident we’ve confirmed — along with the receipts: propub.li/3TBuddL
500+ U.S. citizens detained since the start of the second Trump administration. 100+ U.S. citizens held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all of them were people of color. At least 70 American children and teens detained, some of whom were handcuffed. 36 U.S. citizens held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or family.

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

Gas went up under Biden because Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Then they gradually went down in 2023/2024. Gas then went back up because Trump started a war of choice with Iran that he’s losing after being persuaded by Netanyahu and Hegseth. Blaming Biden right now is absurd.

It’s not “raising the payroll tax,” it’s raising the cap. This irresponsible WaPo headline makes it sound like they are talking about raising the payroll tax rate. Which they are not. It also makes it sound like Social Security is about to run out of money. Which It is not. 

As Social Security fund runs dry, some Republicans say it's time to raise taxes
Raising the payroll tax is gaining traction as a fix — even in the anti-tax GOP — to fend off deep cuts in retirement benefits.
