"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.

“So many people came out to see me in Alabama last night. The Fire Marshall threatened to shut the rally down because we were so bigly over capacity. And I was told that there were over 300,000 outside, crying because they couldn’t get in to hear me. We could hear them all crying from inside. Sad.”

It appears that Trump may not have fully comprehended the material in question. In fact, it has been suggested that he lacks the ability to read or understand complex information. This raises concerns about his educational background and intellectual capacity.

Anti-choice doctors believe that abortion bans protect patients, while abortion providers know that bans are deadly. But their opposite advocacy efforts underscore a striking trend in American politics since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022: the political activation of American doctors.

The Fall of Roe Changed Doctors. Now They’re Changing Politics.
State-level abortion debates have activated physicians as a political force like never before.

You don’t need a ‘real thinker’ to understand pain at the pump. Gas prices hit working families first. Denial combined with Trump's lie that gas is less than $2 per gallon, doesn’t make it cheaper. Vote for Democrats who are fighters not folders.

Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Yale President McInnis is currently trying to cut a deal with Trump's white supremacist administration over admissions policies. Incredibly shameful. Demonstrators turned the hell out to say NO. Huge admiration for these students and faculty members and alums.
Yale students and faculty looking serious as hell at the demonstration - holding signs that read "DEFEND DIVERSITY / DEFEND DEMOCRACY / DON'T SETTLE"

Watch: We Uncovered Bribery Allegations Involving Susan Collins
In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe of politicians including Sen. Susan Collins — until Trump gutted the unit in charge. ProPublica has revealed the existence of the case for the first time.

Couldn't stop myself from posting this. It makes me happy
One day, you'll hear cell phones going off.

Then shouting and cheering.

In the distance, car horns will begin to honk.

A stranger might buy everyone a round at the bar where you're sitting.

And without anyone saying a word, you will know.

AN ERA IS OVER.
