Yeah, well. Why haven‘t the a$$kissing search engines changed that sh!t yet? Still says AI mode on the ol’ go0gle. They sure were quick to change Gulf names and Lake names. But this? Hit your stock value does it? Cost $$$ to change that, maybe?

Eight years ago today, Susan Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. He went on to help overturn Roe v. Wade. She still says she doesn’t regret her vote. Give her something to regret on November 3. Vote her out.

The whole thing is heartbreaking. I think people are missing something crucial here. Jack Buhring was a life-long democrat who voted for Trump in 2024. He said he wanted things to change. Maybe that’s true. But maybe he couldn’t see himself voting for a woman, either. The patriarchy needs to go.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

They had a credible threat to POTUS. But instead of quietly moving him to another aircraft, he essentially “invited” Iran to hit the older aircraft. Not only is this reprehensible; for anyone else in government it’s a violation of operational security (OPSEC). Just f*cking wow.

The slush fund *might* be dead, but not the immunity for Trump & Co. Tariff reimbursements are going to big companies, but not consumers. Cost of living is ridiculous. People are being outright killed on our streets, in concentration camps and on the high seas. Vote them out.

The White House posted on Facebook claiming that 198 Democrats voted against banning members of Congress from trading stocks while in office. What they don’t tell you is that House Republicans attached the SAVE Act to the bill.

For anyone who still believes this nonsense; even the enhanced Real ID will NOT suffice. A passport will. Then go find the speech Senator Tillis made on the floor about implementing this with 3 months to go before mid-terms. It’s a non-starter with about 10k election entities.

Here is some Canadian Trivia: 1) For every person in Canada, there are approx 9,000 trees. 2) Canada's boreal zone spans roughly 1.3 billion acres or approx. 55% to 58% of Canada's total landmass. 3) 70% of Canada's boreal forest zone has no road access, remaining as pristine, intact wilderness.
