Nothing to say about the Ontario television ad, with the words of Ronald Reagan, that was so effectively used to embarrass the Trump administration about how it abuses tariffs?

Remember Steve Bannon is intentionally flooding the zone! Don't fall for it. Stay focused in the now! Everyone needs to vote Democrat in order to get out of the fascist regime. Nobody can skip voting anymore. We can do this! Every lie the republicans spew, come back with truth & facts.

Win by large margins AND win in those districts that Republicans figure are safe. Right now, THEY'RE the ones feeling "comfortable", and they need to feel some heat.

Don't sleep on NC-09. You have a candidate there that does not pull punches, and I don't think Hudson is as popular as he thinks he is.

The 55,000 sq feet applies to the residence -- the part that's in all the pictures. It doesn't include the West Wing.

MY problem with it is the funding for it is from "private donors" and what those donors are going to get in return. (And never mind the $230M in damages Trumplethinskin is trying to get for the DOJ that will come out of our pockets -- and going into the ballroom.)

How about Trump building a triumphal arch?

Tearing down the white house east wing, to history nerds & those that know history is very upsetting. Follow the $$! There's more to this! Thomas, I agree with your message about this!

Aren't we taking these idiots to court? Mar Elias speaks about the racist gerrymandering in NC.

Texas & California is not the same! Newsome is letting the citizens to decide with prop 50 about redistricting! Since 2010 with operation red line, Republicans have been cheating with maps. We no longer have a GOP of John McCain! Our state Republicans are paid for by billionaires & corporations as they help Trump succeed with his fascist, autocratic, Narcissistic, criminal regime! We the people pick our elected officials. They now think that they pick us. Wake up! It's disgusting! Did anyone see the speech from NC state senator, democrat on the floor which was awsome & truthful?! Republicans voted to keep that OUT of the state record.

Republicans gerrymandered before 2024 election! They can't win with policy, truth or with out cheating. We lost 3 democrat US house seats because of that gerrymandering.

Vote the whole ballot!Down ballot drop off is why Cheri Beasley is not the Chief Justice of the NC Supreme Court-400 votes is why our state is losing representative democracy.

@ThomasMills, your “rant” is spot on. We must connect the dots of the actions of the regime to their pocketbooks and a sustainable future.

It is up to those on this conversation who have a platform to do this work.

My apologies about the break in my first reply, here’s the edit:

My passion is Social Justice, specifically GOTV because …

However ANYONE who wants DEMOCRACY, not TYRANNY can and must do something !!! I like to put my boots on the ground to canvass, work on phone banks and write postcards. I don’t just make one contact with folks right before an election — I contact monthly. After asking if I can keep in touch with a household, if the answer is yes, I ask which they prefer: visiting, calling, texting or writing. Why? — because I care.

1.The NC redistricting is a racial gerrymander which means that a state that is truly 50-50 has disenfranchised the Black vote.

2.The main thing is that we are living under authoritarianism which is why the regime can call for redistricting for partisan purposes to: prevent accountability for crimes committed by the president & his enablers; for the destruction of the economy to benefit billionaires & foreign countries; the undermining of representative democracy.

The extreme wealth gap translates into the loss of health care for millions, threat to social security, killing public education, destruction of civil rights & the New Deal social safety net.

Bulldozing the WH is a literal demonstration of the destruction of democracy not just about the a building. Dictators build monuments to themselves to tell the story they want the people to believe. It IS important that Democrats tie this to kitchen table issues.#savedemocracy #stopchaoscriminals
