Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

That’s good to hear! I’m going to zone out with Downton Abbey The Grande Finale tonight. I’ve had enough of politics today. Sending some hugs right back at you!

Sorry to hear you don’t feel well. We still have piles of yucky snow which we all hope will start to melt faster in the next couple of days.

Donald Trump lowered our Flags to half-staff for Charlie Kirk but not for the 6 troops we lost in Kuwait.

Satellite images from NASA Worldview on March 5 reveal the extent of the blackout in Cuba. A failure at the most important power plant, combined with the US blockade on fuel shipments in the country has left nearly 70% of the island's inhabitants without power.

Good Noem is out. But Stephen Miller is the guy behind the deaths of Pretti and Good. Stephen Miller wants to tear this country apart. Stephen needs to go before more moms are beaten out of the cars at school pick-ups, more warehouses fill up with humans, and more Americans die.

Four democrats voted AGAINST a war powers resolution that would’ve forced Trump to seek congressional approval to continue waging Israel’s war on Iran.

Henry Cuellar (TX)
Jared Golden (ME)
Greg Landsman (OH)
Juan Vargas (CA)

The resolution failed 219-212.

The four Dems who voted to re-open DHS w/ no restrictions on ICE are: Henry Cuellar (TX), Don Davis (NC), Jared Golden (ME), and Marie Glusenkamp Perez.

Of those four, Cuellar won his primary, Davis was not challenged, and Golden is retiring.

Perez's primary is August 4th.

Kristi Noem is gone. Pam Bondi is next.

Keep the pressure on these extremists.

Important from Punchbowl News:

"Republicans would prefer to keep their hands clean on the conflict for as long as possible, especially given the uncertainty over how long this could last and how it’ll play politically."

As I've been arguing, Rs don't want to be saddled with this (see below)
