I don’t understand all the secrecy about McConnell, what is the purpose of keeping his health hidden, it’s not like they need the money and the Senate isn’t doing anything now so why?
Look at who did the winning. That’s not a theory of change. That’s the country, still here. Nine weeks out. We don’t have to invent hope. It’s already in the record. Now we add to it.
The courts work—a little slowly for us, but working in general. More from TX—word was going around Houston on Thursday that the big fundraiser for Paxton had to downsize the venue, due to low table sales. Paxton’s Pity Party? Hope he and Criminal-in-Chief had a good (quiet) visit. 😂
It’s always great to hear on-the-ground news from Texas, Susan! A downsized venue tells you everything you need to know about where their support really is.
“just don’t go.” The perfect response to Republicans who want to stick their noses into what you believe, what you read, who you have sex with, how you treat your neighbors and friends if their skin color isn't white. I'm glad one can rely on most judges, even if appointed by Reagan.
What a concept, huh? As you said, the "party of less government" wants control of our most personal decisions, which do not impact anyone else. Freedumb!
On the surface it looks really weird, right? But under the surface, well, the billionaires, mega-multimillionaires and huge corporations and conglomerates have the $$$, but they don't have enough votes to elect the mayor of a mid-size city. To get those votes, they've enlisted those freaked out by civil rights, women's rights, and gay/lesbian rights and those convinced that the U.S. should be a (Protestant) Christian nation. Needless to say, these constituencies overlap, and unfortunately there's no shortage of them -- though I want to believe that some of them are having second thoughts and/or paying more attention to the fine print.
Too many Americans are absolutely ignorant of how the early settlers and definitely the Founders yearned for religious freedom in the new nation. Now they want us to be a theocracy, which is antithetical to that ideal.
Now Trump supporters everywhere in America are learning a painful lesson, that everyone else knew all along - "Everything Trump Touches Dies" and Trump eventually comes for everyone and expects payment as in MONEY (Our Money) for himself every time. Oh and STILL NO Prosecutions of Sex Traffickers and Pedophiles in the Epstein Files - NOT ONE!!! Todd Blanche and the Corrupt DOJ Continue Their Cover Up of the Epstein Files - and have turned their backs on ANY law enforcement unless it involves attacking and "enforcing" laws against the "enemies" of Trump - that is ALL they do. Go to the polls no matter what and send a message - Trump and his Corruption are going to be crushed in the upcoming elections and THEN hold every damn one of them accountable for their crimes against America. And send them ALL to the "Donald Trump/Natalie Harp" (named in his "honor") Prison for Corrupt Politicians - with UNPAID public service to Americans in every county in every state as part of their accountability.......
You said it perfectly, Murray. The grift is exhausting, but it's clearly catching up to them. A massive turnout at the ballot box is the ultimate remedy!
Really encouraged by most legal decisions. If our courts hold the line, once we have the house we can start undoing the damage and hold the corrupt government accountable.
These lower court rulings are helping to temper the craziness of this administration, but the RWNJs in power will file for the SCROTUS to review and some may be overturned. But we can take whatever wins we can.
THIS IS THE ONE FOR THE WEEKEND! Spread the word! Thanks!
Tell Congress: Protect our use of voting by mail and voting machines

Two words: Where’s Mitch?
That’s another crime occurring in broad daylight.
The silence is definitely speaking volumes, Al. We need accountability now more than ever!
I don’t understand all the secrecy about McConnell, what is the purpose of keeping his health hidden, it’s not like they need the money and the Senate isn’t doing anything now so why?
Al, pls explain the crime of which you wrote. I missed that. thx
Look at who did the winning. That’s not a theory of change. That’s the country, still here. Nine weeks out. We don’t have to invent hope. It’s already in the record. Now we add to it.
Yes! Every week we’re seeing that the country is standing up and fighting back. Let’s keep that momentum going! 💪

Thank you, Scott. We’re winning while they’re whining. Let’s give them hell!
Thank you, Mike! "Winning while they're whining" is the perfect way to describe it. Let’s keep giving them hell! 🔥
They can lie about the score. They can’t un-release a story. Hold on to that truth. Then go be useful with it! Keep pushing!
That is exactly right. They can spin it all they want, but they can't change the facts on the ground. Keep pushing!
My day is a little brighter this morning! Thanks.
So glad to hear that, Linda! Thank you for reading and being here!

"Just don't go" really sums it up perfectly. It's heartening to see the courts uphold those boundaries!
What a concept, huh? As you said, the "party of less government" wants control of our most personal decisions, which do not impact anyone else. Freedumb!
The hypocrisy is definitely glaring! It’s all about control. Thanks for speaking up!

Oh what a relief to read this. I feel as if I can breathe again!
Thank you, Miriyam. It can feel heavy out there, but these wins are real, and they are worth celebrating!

I believe the lower courts are definitely defending the constitution. Scotus needs reformation
Agreed, Barbara. The lower courts are providing a crucial defense, but the need for Supreme Court reform is undeniable.
Really encouraged by most legal decisions. If our courts hold the line, once we have the house we can start undoing the damage and hold the corrupt government accountable.
That’s the plan, Julie! If the courts hold the line, we can focus on winning back the House and getting to work.
SHINE on!!
Keep shining!

⚖️ These wins encourage us to keep up the pressure because pressure bursts pipes 🚰! Vote early; remind family and friends to vote! 🗳️
Pressure bursts pipes! 🚰 That's the exact energy we need. Vote early and get everyone you know to the polls!
I believe Trump and his regime are going to continue to lose most court losses. The GOP are toast come the midterms.
The courts are definitely showing that the facts still matter. Let's make sure that translates to the midterms!
IF we get to have midterms.
We will, he can't stop them.
Why do people post comments like this with no evidence whatsoever? It happens often enough that I wonder.
