Good lookin' out. I should have learned my lesson when I made some donations to popular charitable organizations in my real name. Maybe an annonimous actual letter? Several letters, printed out, handled with nitril gloves, pre-glued envelopes (no DNA), placed in a mailbox outside the main post office while wearing dark sunglasses, a hoodie and a mask. I dare them to try and trace me

Jasmine Crockett, one of the new leaders of the party.

This lady has credentials, lots of them. Of course the tRumplicans want to paint her as just a DEI hire.

Senate Dems showing some backbone. Good for them. Don't let Donny and the Repukes ram this absurd spending bill through.

The only power left for the Dems to stop Trumpmusk is a shutdown. Slow down the dismantling of our government long enough for the effects to become more apparent and those effected to be a voice.

Well, what we have now is a congressional impasse and neither party members will say no to Trump. The Republicans are afraid of getting primaried by Musk and his money while the Democrats are afraid of their own shadows.

Newly minted Democrat

Former Republican Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh announced Tuesday he is formally joining the Democratic Party because “the stakes are simply too high to NOT become a Democrat.”

Welcome to the party, I guess.
