I hope to heaven Swalwell is right because if we fail in the midterms, we will be in irreversible trouble. But if we work hard and win……

Trump was caught on a hot mic on Air Force One today saying that networks' licensing should be removed because they should not be allowed to criticize him. He says the networks are an "arm of the Democrat (sic) Party". How ironic that the government is actually an arm of the networks.

We will have midterms. Please STOP spreading stuff like this -- it feeds right into the Trump Regime's narrative!

As Robert Hubbell likes to say: We are not potted plants! We have agency.

FYI, what are you doing besides wringing your hands? You can't roll up your sleeves and get to work if you are wringing your hands!

Ignore Diane, we will have midterms - otherwise there will be no House of Representatives and 1/3 of the senate will be out of their jobs. And FYI, more GOP senate seats are up in 2026 than Democratic ones.

I agree with you, Beverly. Eric Swalwell and others are stepping up, and we need to stand with them.

If they use the cheating technology from 2024, we're screwed. We need more governors like Newsome on board to legally gerrymander to keep up with their illegal activity

We cancelled Disney / Hulu yesterday and wrote to Disney and ABC laying out exactly why we are boycotting their programming and affiliated products. We got on this early enough that we could do it before the websites crashed and they took down public comments pages. We do not support fascism, and we don’t support corporations that do.

I did the same this morning. They can take down the comments, but when accounts start closing, they'll take notice. Hit these guys and their censorship in the bank account. The bottom line is the only thing they understand.

Swalwell is correct. There will be a Democratic majority and they will work to hold officials accountable. Meanwhile, Obama is speaking regularly and people listen to him. Thanks for the good news, Scott! 🙏🏻 We have to get it wherever we can.

Scott, I am so grateful for your positive approach to all of this mess. You are finding and picking up pieces of hope and extending them to us so we don’t despair. I believe there is an eventual way out of this; and it may come after long, hard work, or it may come in some completely unexpected way. Or any combination of events in between. We just can’t know. But we can have hope. 🌟

Break ALL the rules that bind your freedom of choice.

“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.” - Robert A Heinlein

I definitely agree that there will be a Democratic majority in the House in 2026! I can’t wait.

Obama and other past presidents need to band together in a consortium, using their influence in the US and abroad to stop Trump from ruining our nation. Congress can be easily swayed as most members will bend to the strongest wind blowing.

We have the assets to stop Trump. We should not be afraid to use them.

Free speech is a cornerstone of our democracy and sacred to our founding fathers - shame on Carr and others for twisting words to attempt to muzzle free speech. What happened to Trumps executive order supporting free speech I guess only when the words fall from your mouth - no freedom in that.

My husband and I sold all our Disney stocks from all our portfolios. Stop visiting Disney parks everywhere in the world. Explain to your kids and grandkids that if we do not protest first ammendment right, there will be no rights for them. We do not use cable. So, no other way we could give the middle finger to Disney.
