I remember making these as a teen and using coffee grounds instead of liquid coffee

Sorry, Jack. He doesn’t care about you or you constituents.

We appreciate your fighting for us. Please continue to hold the line.

Is that last part so you don’t have to stay up too late? That’d be me for sure.

No question but I thank you for standing up for Michiganders and all Americans.

If you were expecting to be raptured and find yourself still here, it’s time to rethink your version of Christianity.

Hey Michigan Dems. Why does it seem like Dana Nessel is the only one in the fight here. Other than an occasional trip to grovel in the WH, there have been nothing but crickets from the Governor.

Completely randomly wondering how many of those book covers are AI generated. So many look almost interchangable. I will miss artist designed covers.
Glad you are feeling better, BTW

In Michigan, we can attempt to recall a state official. There have to be some districts where this would work cause we just had a Democratic majority last year.

If he won’t do his job, start a recall petition.

Ugh, sorry. We spent the night at the vet ER last weekend. Hope your pup gets better soon.

I’ve had that same experience. Not fun times.

Anything by Phil Collins but specifically I Can’t Dance. Not sure if that’s the title but it most of the lyrics

For anyone that can’t make it so far it’s a lecture with canned questions. No chat and no direct questions from constituents. Pretty pathetic

I meant every Democrat Congressman and Senator should be posting these daily videos on there social networks.
I think the reason they are on YouTube is because mass media is scared to cover them. That is why we all have to push. Don’t wait for someone else to do it.

Every Democrat should be posting this on their socials. On our end, we can flood our local media with requests to air these videos.

I love that there is a tab here for Dog Pics. When I’m feeling overwhelmed I can look at endless photos of dogs loving life. Not an ad in sight.
