The Democratic Party deserves criticism But for "undecided" voters and people who STILL support the party that watched in silence as Trump turned the country into a dumpster fire, no slogan, campaign strategy, or speech will ever change their MAGA mind.

Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor. Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys. It grossed $17m Here's a bit of David's acting:

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

and there it is -- Trump says that if the Supreme Court doesn't allow him to put his name on the Kennedy Center then it will close down for good
The Board of The Kennedy Center today agreed, almost unanimously, to close the Building for Safety reasons, and so that it can begin the process of Reconstruction. The closing will take place immediately, however, the Renovation and Reconstruction, which is a very large and complex job, cannot begin until such time as the D.C. Circuit rules on the Board’s approved name. If the ruling is a negative one, which it should not be, and is not overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Reconstruction and the Renovation of The Kennedy Center will not take place. The attorneys from the DOJ will ask for an expedited appeal. In the meantime, 17 Million Dollars, raised by President Trump, has been put into The Kennedy Center account to keep it afloat. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

He's wrong about virtually everything in this post, except for one thing. Equality Ohio DID surrender trans people, like Amy Acton did. When your org capitulates to the point anti-trans leaders celebrate like this, you know you did wrong. Ashamed to ever have had a good relationship with the org.

This statement from @EqualityOhio is the ultimate sign of surrender from them.
They know their positions are politically toxic, because no one wants transgender procedures done on kids, and no one wants boys in girls sports. EQOH is just too scared to press Democrats to take clear stances.
They're hoping a wink and a nod will let @amyactonoh skate by in the election, without having the crazy LGBT issues drag her down like a ton of bricks.
It should be simple: does Amy think minors should have access to "gender-affirming care" and double mastectomies? Isn't this the entire reason EQOH exists?
Equality Ohio has updated Dr. Amy Acton's score from an 'A' to a 'B' to acknowledge harm to transgender communities.
Dr. Acton made harmful remarks related to transgender people back on June 30, 2026. In response, we placed her score under review and requested that she engage directly with Equality Ohio and transgender community leaders. Members of her campaign engaged with us, but the meeting we requested with Dr. Acton has not happened yet.
The Acton campaign has updated their website to include LGBTQ anti-discrimination to their campaign platform. We have confirmed the campaign has met with LGBTQ leaders and parents of transgender children.
Her campaign also wrote to the press that she "will always stand up for Ohioans, including the LGBT community. As governor, she is committed to standing up to discrimination and ensuring all Ohioans receive equal protection under the law." She went on to affirm that healthcare decisions should be between a patient and their provider.
We have not been able to confirm meaningful engagement directly between their campaign and transgender communities.
The 'B' now reflects the concern about support of trans Ohioans, alongside her broader record and positions. A 'B' means "insufficient record but supportive public statements."
Dr. Acton's comments didn't happen in a vacuum. They're part of a broader pattern of politicians …

My gosh. Fetterman pretended to be sick to avoid meeting three paralyzed veterans from rural PA…and then went to do a Fox interview on Israel. He agreed to meet a lawmaker who drove from PA to talk about homeless and working people…and then bailed & met pro-Israel Bruce Pearl.
One morning in June, three paralyzed military veterans in wheelchairs from rural Pennsylvania arrived at the office of Sen. John Fetterman for a long-awaited meeting to discuss legislation that would improve their care.
Fetterman's staff greeted them with bad news: The Pennsylvania Democrat had to cancel. He'd told his staff he may have eaten something bad and wasn't feeling well, according to people familiar with the matter.
Less than an hour after his staffers met with the veterans in his place, Fetterman walked into his office, showing no signs of illness. He had an appointment he didn't want to miss, he told staff: an interview on Fox News to discuss Israel and the war in Iran."He was available. He just chose not to meet with us," Williams said.
Even when Fetterman does agree to meetings, he often cancels, according to former staffers.
Also last April, Fetterman agreed to take a meeting with another state lawmaker, Liz Hanbidge, who drove down from Pennsylvania to introduce herself, and to discuss programs that help the homeless and working poor in her county. But when Hanbidge arrived, according to staffers who were present, Fetterman claimed he hadn't agreed to the meeting. The aides spent more than an hour pleading with him to talk to her; staffers eventually met with Hanbidge in his place.
Fetterman did take another meeting that day-with Bruce Pearl, the former college basketball coach and Israel advocate. The pair discussed legislation that would affect college sports, and Pearl thanked Fetterman for his stance on Israel, Pearl said in an interview.
