READ⬇️: We have one chance left to stop Trump. It's coming in <30 days. SCOTUS has handed him the tools to steal the presidency in 2028. He has stockpiled armaments and a massive goon squad to enforce his corruption. Stop him now, or don't stop him at all. #VOTE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/o...

Opinion | Trump’s Try, Try Again Supreme Court Strategy

Supreme Court decisions that were small comfort in 2026 will turn out to be no comfort at all in 2028.

Somehow, they never get around to the fact that we HAD a no-nukes deal with Iran that Trump tore up, allowing them to resume working toward nuke capability. As usual, Republicans make up a problems and then claim they are saving us from them. 🙄

Also, looks like Bari Weiss is writing headlines, too. "Influential," lol. There are only 9 of them. Simply coming to work is influential. There is zero sign that anyone other than Clarence Thomas is influenced by Alito.

BIG, IF TRUE: Hearing buzz that the GOP Senate Leadership Fund may be pulling back in TX, with James Talarico's chance of winning now 65% on Polymarket. The same group that pulled the plug on its spending in North Carolina last week, all but conceding that Democrat Roy Cooper will win. #VOTE

For the first time - maybe ever - I'm in complete and total agreement with Trump: Americans should absolutely pretend he's on the ballot. Pretend the felon/rapist and accused pedophile who has pocketed billions pimping the White House and wrecked our economy is on that ballot. And #vote like hell.

But honestly, why would any Democrat with half a brain voluntarily drag this into the campaign dialogue? We don't need to be talking about impeachment in the final month before the midterms.

Trump, loudly last night to a crowd of about 4,000 (he doesn't bring 'em in like he used to): "We're gonna shove it up their asses. They are a bunch of dumb son of a bitches." Also Trump ⬇️ (so Godly!) #evangelicals #antichrist

From Miss Dar-Leen Graham, now running for a full Senate term in SC: “Should Alito choose to retire next year, a GOP-majority Senate will be needed to vote and hopefully confirm a ... nominee from Pres. Trump. "If Democrats control the Senate, they will not even allow a vote.” RIP, irony.

House Republicans block Democratic maneuver to force release of Epstein files

US Rep. Virginia Foxx is out w/ a SHOCKING op/ed today posing as a supporter of the Epstein Files’ release. BULLSHIT. In 2025, as powerful chair of the House Rules Comm., FOXX BLOCKED their release. Why? To protect Trump, of course. (Look, the fraud herself ⬇️) #ncpol www.axios.com/2025/07/15/t...

Rep. Virginia Foxx: For Epstein’s victims, accountability will prevail

Hassett MO: Condescendingly smile while delivering fuzzy data “interpretation” to give the impression he knows something you don’t. He doesn’t. Hassett is a Trumpist MAGA worm, and you have to wonder why. Is he a racist? Anti-immigrant xenophobe? Anti-LGBTQ? Dig a little. The truth is out there.

Get RID OF VIRGINIA FOXX. Bring REAL accountability to Trump and others who preyed on the underage girls Epstein and Trump procured. The girls ABANDONED by Foxx last year when she BLOCKED release of the Epstein Files. Elect Chuck Hubbard and see justice done. #ncpol @chuck.hubbardforcongress.com

How she phrased it then: “I think most of us believe what's appropriate will be released when it is time for the president to release it.” 🤬 Rep Foxx, you’re NOT a leader working “to bring accountability to the victims of Epstein’s despicable crimes,” you’re a MAGA HACK shielding Trump. 2/2

So share this with likely voters, friends, family and colleagues. We can't just vote on how lousy things are now. We must vote on how much worse they're going to get for those who can afford it the least if we don't act NOW. #VOTE 4/4

- SNAP benefits, already savaged by Republicans, will be reduced by another $211B over the next 8 years. SNAP is the federal program that helps the most impoverished and vulnerable Americans put food on the table. This is happening while Trump and his family are stealing BILLIONS from taxpayers. 3

to do something about it: - Individuals in the bottom 20% of incomes will lose $400 - $1,200 a year in benefits/resources. Those in the highest 10% will gain an average of $13,622. - 13M poor people will be kicked off Medicaid over the next 8 years. Uninsured Americans will grow by 7.5M. 2

The vote stems from a previous decision to delay funding the two LGBTQ+ organizations and ask both groups to re-prove their artistic merit.

👀 Reminds me of another prominent SC Republican who served as president of the U of South Carolina for 13 years and also fancied himself a mentor to young men. Google James B. Holderman and his interns.

Sick to death of closeted Repubs knifing the gay community and rationalizing their gutless actions with bullshit like “this is about artistic integrity.” No, this is making up a reason that curries favor with MAGAs while trying to save face with gay conservatives. And EVERYONE knows. #SCArts

Watch for North Carolina, where Republicans have installed a similar sham election board under State Auditor/MAGA dickweed Dave Boliek, to try the exact same thing. If it does, we must be ready to move fast. #ncpol

Remember when Heritage Found. Pres. Kevin Roberts said, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be”? They’ve been planning this coup ⬇️ for years. Trump absolutely will attempt this — and dare us to stop him. What will we do?
