Pro Publica never ceases to amaze us. Starting January 3rd thete needs to be a 24/7 news outlet that has congressional hearings to indict, prosecute, convict these monsters into the dustbin of history.

We can’t govern if we don’t rid ourselves of the hateful enablers of this regime. And those who have remained on the sidelines while others have fought. This means pressing Dem leadership to vow to clean up our political system. We have choices. They must be good ones.

Reporting from Erie County, NY. My son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law and I all voted blue right across the board. I am working Tuesday. Not sure how many people will vote that day since there were long lines at all the early polling stations. We all need to be prepared what illegal stunts Trump will pull up to election day, on election day and after. It ain't over until it's over.

Everything seems to be looking like a blue wave here in Texas. My Talarico shirts always elicit at least a smile. The last several weeks people had to at least tell me they loved my shirts.

Judith's avatar

Hi Carol, I'm in Maine, so never saw your shirt. But I am damn proud of the person who wore it. You go girl❣️

Go Blue Poems

A new poem daily until after the election.

The 118th Congress has forgone dignity for humiliation

Republicans, it's country first, heed the Constitution

It began by protecting a president whose ego is fragile

When criticized, he whines and waves DOJ's rattle

Our country was built on the backs of immigrants

ICE killing immigrants and Americans shows their arrogance

Steven Miller's ICE policies of cruelty were his intent

To display the powers of an out of control president

There is nothing Supreme about our highest court

They rule from the bench, the laws they distort

Their judgments are tainted by too many favors

From billionaires who have become their enslavers

Not all in the high court have been tainted

Even with their dissents, justice is still interrupted

The best lawyers had to go in the DOJ

Trump didn't want anyone to get in his way

Reality is patient, but only if there is accountability

Republicans have forsaken their constitutional duty

Trump and his cronies are running this town

Trump and his policies are keeping us down

Donald brags about profits he made on the campaign trail

Oil companies are making trillions. Trump hails

His war has us paying more at the gas pump

Don's and the oil companies' statements make a jump

When our government isn't balanced, things go wrong

Our three branches have been left wobbling too long

I long for the American values from my youth

When presidents were respected for telling the truth

Eisenhower and Kennedy, everyone respected

They honorably served, and then they were elected

Eisenhower improved our lives with his steadfast guidance

Kennedy stood up to Khrushchev when America made its stance

Now Donald's crime family make deals with Russian criminals

How does this help America? Trump is all transactional

America was the shining star for all democracies

Now, we are in the business of protecting kleptocracies

We've been stuck in an evil Halloween scenario

One more reason Republicans deserve to go

Please restack and share my poems on FB and elsewhere, so the message is seen. Thanks, Packy Paules ✌️

🎩 The Shadow Syndicate

The billionaires and Epstein class, untouched by any law,

Keep funding global conflicts to appease their hungry maw.

A vast conglomerate of greed who deal in blood and pain,

While Musk and Trump collaborate for oligarchic gain. 💼

Now Hegseth, Rubio, and Vance are plotting in the dark,

To restart a new Iran war and fan the violent spark.

They share the plans for nuclear strikes to keep their power grand,

And sell their own democracy to keep the upper hand. 📱

It is a racket built on blood, a shadow syndicate,

Where billionaires fund the regimes that leave us desolate.

They profit when the missiles fly, they profit when we mourn,

And build their gilded palaces on everything they’ve torn. 🏛️

They take the money from the wars to fund the wars anew,

And manipulate the systems to control what we can do.

The working class, the safety net, the teachers bear the cost,

While billionaires count up the gold for every battle lost. 🪙

These war profiteers do not care for country or for pride,

They only care about the wealth they frantically can hide.

They break the rules and skirt the laws to keep their power grand,

And sell their own democracy to keep the upper hand. 🃏

But we, the people of the light, the veterans of the truth,

Will not let greedy syndicates devour all our youth.

We see the shady money trails, the favors and the graft,

And recognize the cruel designs the billionaires have draft. 📉

They think their millions buy the world, they think they own the town,

But Grandma knows a voting block can take a tyrant down.

We stand for neighborhoods and love, for honesty and grace,

And we will not let profiteers destroy the human race. 🌍

So let the lantern shine its beam on every hidden door,

And expose the Epstein class that benefits from war.

With steady hands and honest hearts, we cast our votes to heal,

And strip away the shiny mask from every dirty deal. 🕯️

We vote by mail (we are in our late 80s) and this year took our mail-in ballots to the PA Courthouse drop box! The Dems have 2 ballots for sure!

Peggy Freeman's avatar

YES! I have voted! I voted on Friday, October 23 and it was blue up and down the ballot!! Florida will most likely not flip any seats because we are a VERY red state. I would love to see David Jolly as our governor, but we will most likely wind up with Donalds. The ads that have been running on TV are simply awful! The republicans lie all the way through the ads and use trigger words like 'radical', 'socialist', 'liberal' etc. They speak in such a disgusted tone about their opponents, but never say what they will do if elected. Our candidates have spoken about the issues we are all facing like affordability, taxes, insurance, Medicare etc. Apparently here in Florida, it is and may always be about 'owning the libs'. Keep fighting, America! Stay strong and stay safe!! VOTE BLUE IN NOVEMBER!!

Judith's avatar

Voted last week👍🏻😁

I'm anxious to see the number of Republican's votes.....THAT WERE NEVER ABLE TO BE BOUGHT❣️

Jacqueline Powell's avatar

I think many countries are hoping the US will "turn blue". Thankyou for this post. It will helps us look at what is occurring in important states. Many outsiders are with you and concerned for the mid- terms.

It is still an uphill fight. A “tight” race is by no means a sure thing, and there are too many of those to get too comfortable too soon. Let’s keep our heads down, get to the polls, make sure that everyone we know does the same…this has got to be TOO BIG TO RIG or rigged and disputed it shall be. Let’s do this!!!!
