Yes, Murkowski and Collins do have this exact pact. It’s been an open secret for years. And the gullible voters in their states keep falling for it.

Lia Thomas graduated THREE YEARS AGO. The Trump regime's pogrom against trans people is so bad that institutions are willing to not just cease affirming us as human beings right now, but to reject that we ever were.

Instead of doing everything they can to stop Trump’s “Big Beautiful Class War” bill that cuts Medicaid by $930 billion to fund a massive tax cut for the rich, Democrats are doing everything they can to stop Zohran Mamdani in NYC because they serve the same big money donors as the GOP.

Good luck with that. Funny how for over a decade, from the year 2000 to around 2012, Russia was not an enemy. It's almost like the West needed one.

So many are asking, what can we do? We are ALL doing it RIGHT now & in our daily lives. The political avenues are dead. We WILL continue to lose rights. People WILL be suffering SOON. Help TAKE CARE of them & each other. Stay CONNECTED to people & reality. PROTECT yourself from denial & despair.

You know things are bad when even Pelosi is on team fight. Senate Dems have a simple choice, resist and be part of the solution to Trump's fascist madness... or be useless Vichy cowards remembered for all time as collaborators. Had enough? #LiberateCalifornia #FreeTheBear 🏳️‍🌈
