This is how they control women, first their rights to the choices over their body and now our voting rights. WTF

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

For those wanting to get a handle on wasteful spending, why are they attending Super Bowls, and wasting money redoing maps for one man's ego.

Good advice ⬇️

The number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births rose from 5.93 to 6.26 in those states, with many nonviable pregnancies carried to full term

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Outstanding

I'm hearing crickets from trump supporters who were so sure he had nothing to do with Project 2025. That is the problem when you back a liar, you never really know what to believe.
