Trump never cared about troops and he still don’t care about troops and why are they sending troops over to the Middle East? Why are they doing that? Please let us know. I don’t like Trump sending troops anywhere. He has no respect for anybody.

WE the People Still Control Our Destiny

Regardless of Nazi control of SCOTUS, Congress, and the Executive WE the People still decide what happens in 2026 If we care about our country's destiny and to move away from this Nazi regime it's important to start planning our strategy to the election now

This includes taking steps to prevent election subversive strategies that were present in 2024 These steps include contacting your secretary of state about

- Conduct independent audits of UPS firmware on Dominion and ES&S machines

- Subpoena communications between Eaton, Palantir, Starlink employees, and Pro V&V

- Audit Starlink satellite logs for the week of the election

- Freeze uncertified infrastructure updates

- Recount physical ballots—by hand

Also remember

DO NOT become cynical about elections

Phone calls matter to legislators

Yard signs matter

Everybody has a townsquare where we can make our voices heard So Engage Don’t shy away from difficult conversations Let them know how you feel about people disappearing off the streets is not OK Taking away medical care from our unfortunate citizens for tax breaks for the uberwealthy

I loved your reference to “Mr. Trump.” I don’t think he deserves the title, “President.” Never have we seen such an ignorant, uninformed, incompetent person in that position.

Thanks, Edwin, for calling it what it is: A big rip off.

This sums up why a Socialist won the New York City mayor primary. People that were at one time in the middle class are now among the lower classes financially. Honestly helping the poor has always been politically unpopular because people believed they were better. Now they in many States have seen Public Education gutted, Social Services gutted, and now this Big Beautiful Bill that puts the reality up close and now there is no denying that the GOP is taking away from the poorest among us, to give the richest among us tax breaks and credits. Why would they want to vote for the same thing that has happened over and over again?

Technically, a Democratic Socialist (I think it may help ease the hysteria to use this term), but I totally agree. So many voters have spent years complaining that our political system doesn’t work. They are right. I appreciate any attempts at change, as long as this doesn’t involve autocracy or theocracy.

I agree with you. I live in Oklahoma, and our Education Secretary is trying has bought Trump bibles and has written a Social Studies Curriculum that he says places our history/culture coincidences with the Bible that will be taught to public school kids. My State is becoming Theocratic, and it makes me sad that this is happening, our public schools have no solid Curriculum, Fallon ended the use so for 16 years we have slid from the middle of the pack to the bottom. With that said, I think Oklahoma is ripe for an upset if the right people run against the incumbents. The night Trump bombed Iran, Bernie Sanders held a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 6000 attended. People here are upset about the Big Beautiful Bill but this kind of change will only happen if someone like Sanders runs.
