On Friday, the Trump Administration announced $810m claw back of federal grants hurting immigrants and Black/Brown communities/businesses. This is a consolidation of power usurping Congress’s power of the purse and progress toward Project 2025 anti-DEI goals www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

The mail-in ballot controversy is being used to create confusion and chaos. Local election officials need to get ballots out but they’re stalled while voters are scared to use this convenient mode. The back and forth will create chaos that will provoke Republicans to question outcomes. All planned.

The redistricting fight in Missouri isn’t over. A federal district court approved use of the new maps contradicting the Supreme Court. Of course the state is moving forward with it but may be held in contempt. Ballots are being printed. Republicans want this chaos. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/09/u...

This morning, 67.7k properties wo power in N Indiana. Gary Indiana, constitutes 24.8k of those wo power. Gary may not have electricity until TUESDAY!! That would be over 2 weeks! Our emergency responses to crises are getting worse and we’re facing more. These are systemic failures of our government.

Northern Indiana still without power in a lot of areas. Yesterday morning still 93k with no electricity as of now 76.7k without electricity. Gary Indiana still hard hit! Yesterday 27k no power now 25k+. Local NAACP, YWCA and churches and others feeding folks. Donate. Horrible.

Jolly who just won the Democratic Gubernatorial primary wants to distance himself from Angie Nixon who won Senate Primary. He’s reminding voters he’s really a Republican instead of joining hands and working on behalf of working and middle class families.

Judith Browne Dianis @jbrownedianis.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
Jolly is already distancing himself from “socialism” owning being a “capitalist” and stamping Angie Nixon as DS. He needs to stop. @angieforfl.bsky.social has a track record of working for workers and families. I guess Jolly is saying that’s not who he works on behalf of.

Pay close attention. He wants to federalize elections because he’s desperate to maintain power. He keeps trying but the Constitution keeps getting in the way. We need to be prepared to fight back against this interference all the way until a new Congress is sworn in.

This is a big victory in Missouri. As voters have had their say through ballot initiatives on issues like paid family leave, abortion and other issues, the GOP has tried to put an end to this lever of democracy. But MO voters have rejected this attempt! www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

The arrogance of white male privilege, especially with a sprinkle of power, never ceases to amaze me. How do you run for office (or stay) knowing that you’ve done things (or have health issues) that if exposed would end your candidacy and destroy the chances of your party winning? It keeps happening
