Let’s talk about the elephant in the room… It’s like everyone’s forgotten how democracy works and just pretends that Trump alone, possibly in late stages dementia, is the only person who decides whether we enter a war with Iran. Just him. No checks. No balances. That’s NOT how democracy works.

Remember- what Trump tells us is not necessarily what the reality is. 6 of the G7 wanted Trump to sign a document condemning the violence. He didn’t. Trump claims he CHOSE to leave the G7. But it was G6+1. They could have said NO PLUS ONES this is a private party. We don’t know the full story.

Anyone thinking they can sum up Middle East in a couple of posts doesn’t understand it. But one thing I think should be considered is that Putin isn’t doing well in his own war and needs distraction…Trump & Netanyahu can be helping him. This Israel-Iran situation can be about more than one thing.

Let me understand this? Russia is saying that Ukraine must DESTROY all the Western weapons to end the war - 👇 So Ukraine should just TRUST that once they destroy all their weapons Russia will just walk away and end the war🙄 Only a fool would accept those terms and Zelensky is definitely no fool!!

Some people think this started when 👉Somehow he beat Hillary. IT DIDN’T. 👉He was ‘elected’ for his second term. IT DIDN’T. On June 16, 2015 Trump came down the golden escalator & the plan went into action. This has been going on for a decade+ We can’t impeach but we also can’t just wait him out.

@grassrootsspeak.bsky.social has been telling us about these ES&S machines for years. This article is important these ‘de minimis’ changes might seem small, but they should be publicly documented and tested. The Rockland affidavits + stats do sound fishy. I’m curious what the Sept hearing reveals

The GOP are fierce advocates for States’ Rights. Let’s show ‘em how it’s done STATE: The CA AG should arrest Kristi Noem & her goons for assault/abuse of power. Let Noem rot in jail (no bail) til a state judge rules if she abused power FEDERAL: House Dems should initiate impeachment against Noem

This is horrific. A U.S. Senator is thrown to the ground and handcuffed for trying to stop illegal activities in the State he represents by the Federal government The Federal Government is illegally occupying California with no cause and nobody can stop them

I feel like the protests in LA are an excuse to get a military presence in CA. This weekend Trump will have a massive military presence on the East Coast (in DC) & troops on the West Coast. The planned protests are a perfect cover to incite violence. I hope this isn’t the beginning of something…

A picture is worth a thousand words. These photos are worth millions of words but I’ll try to sum them up This is Trumps America. The Divided America. Divided not by the States but by the Federal Govt waging a war on states that don’t cave to his demands. This is not what our forefathers intended.

To dissent from Trump is to be loyal to the constitution. To be loyal to Trump is to dissent from the constitution. Protestors in California are clearly demonstrating their dissent from Trump. Federal Officers, Border Agents & Homeland Security are showing their dissent from the Constitution.

TRUMP: Elon Musk better not fund any Democrats ME: Elon Musk should promise to fund the campaigns of any Republicans who vote AGAINST the bill and fund the Democratic opponent of any GOP who votes FOR the bill. Not that Musk’s ever gonna be a hero but let’s see him put his 🤑 where his mouth is.

Tariffs are taxes on the people. Trump is tanking our economy but more importantly he’s making the American people pay - and they claimed we couldn’t afford it before…

It’s ridiculous how politicians try to make us believe we have FREE and FAIR elections. U.S. Elections Assistance Commission data shows over 4.7 million voters wrongly purged from voter rolls! Purges & gerrymandering already make our elections unfair but I’m investigating even more - STAY TUNED.

If you make one call today - this is the one. Call 518. 455. 4466 Say please put A6287 on the agenda and pass it out of committee. The bill is called VIVA NY (The Voting Integrity and Verification Act of NY). Anyone can call. SMARTlegislation.org for more info

If you are not already following SMART Elections - I highly recommend you follow them. I’m working hard on getting out some research for states outside of New York but Lulu and @smartelections.bsky.social is doing incredible work especially in New York.

As if tax breaks for the billionaires wasn’t bad enough👇

CORY BOOKER- 3/31/2025: record breaking speech on right vs wrong & all thats wrong in America ALSO CORY BOOKER-5/19/2025: Votes to confirm convicted criminal Charles Kushner (who Trump pardoned) - to be the Ambassador to France one of America’s most critical Allie’s Explain how this makes sense?

I hope AG Letitia James is tracking all the crypto being paid to Trump for when her appeal against the Trump Org is heard & it’s found that he owes 100’s of millions to New York. In fact @newyorkstateag.bsky.social should go after that💰right now & force it into escrow so it doesn’t disappear

The US is one of the only advanced industrialized nations without Universal healthcare. So what do the GOP try to do? Decimate medicaid & kick millions off health care At the same time they’re actually trying to REPEAL taxes to make tanning salons & silencers CHEAPER Their priorities are so fcked

With all this budget talk I feel like pundits are missing the point - The GOP are playing games with OUR money. They’re funding tyranny with OUR money. And we’re powerless to do much more than watch. Whatever happened to No Taxation Without Representation? The GOP represent Trump not the people.

Let’s be clear- if James Comey wanted to 86 47 he could release the kraken. Comey knows all the FBI’s secrets even the ones Trump probably disappeared before Biden came in. Comey could send messages through NYT, WaPo or Maddow. Seashells don’t impress me. Release the kraken not seashells. #Comey

Trump’s trolling us with his gifted plane. The point isn’t just the blatant corruption- he’s rubbing our faces in the fact that nobody can STOP his blatant corruption. He’s playing with us. It’s a distraction & he’s rubbing our faces in it. While Trump remains in power we are NOT a democracy.

The Pope on Trump: He’s seen brighter cabinets at IKEA The Pope on Gay Marriage: Speaking of IKEA, let’s buy a closet to put the LGBTQ back into The Pope on Abortion: The far-right’s right- an unborn fetus has inherent dignity MISSING: Mention of women’s dignity VERDICT: Is the Pope Catholic? YES

For a while I’ve thought that if our lower courts don’t hold we’ll need to look outside the U.S. for help to get us out from Trumps regime. It’s not an accident that Trumps attacking the International Criminal Court. It’s also not a surprise that Trumps attacking PBS who brought us this story.

What they put in plain sight is a distraction. The plane has given us 747 distractions. I want to know what is going on that they are trying to distract us from.

For the forseeable future the words DEPORT & DUE PROCESS shouldn’t be used - they whitewash the situation Appropriate terms based on the Trump regime are KIDNAPPING IMPRISONMENT Or REMINDER: the definition of a concentration camp: a place where people are concentrated and imprisoned without trial.

I may live in Florida but I refuse to drink the MAGA kool-aid And now that Ron DeSantis banned fluoride from the water I can’t even get a decent glass of water.

Some days I wake up thinking… Are people waiting for an official announcement that we’re in a Constitutional Crisis? Do they expect the White House to announce it (yeah right🙄)? Do we need Steve Kornacki at the Big Board so the media can call it? Nobody’s gonna officially call it but we’re here!

No, you’re not crazy. They are deporting brown people and importing white people.

I don’t think Republicans can just change their minds. I think Trump has Kompromat on most of them & he’ll sic the FBI on them if they resist him. It’s not about a moral compass. It’s whether they’d subject themselves & their families to whatever hell Trump has planned for them if they turn on him.

The plane is in plain sight. But whatever deals Trump is signing will have hidden gifts beyond our comprehension. The deals have everything to do with enriching Trump & his cronies who already have more money they can spend in a lifetime and very little to do with helping the American people.

So apparently the Republicans will let Trump do anything he wants as long as he doesn’t wear a brown suit? What if the 747 he accepts from Qatar is brown…would that make a difference?
