🚨 Hear me out…
I’m sick of pretending this is a functioning country with a functioning government.
Congress is not “divided.” It’s not “gridlocked.” It’s not “just politics.” It is a criminal class of 535 people who have spent decades selling this country piece by piece while lecturing the rest of us about democracy, values, and the rule of law.
They pass spending bills they don’t read. They pile debt on people who weren’t even born yet. They take money from foreign interests, lobbyists, PACs, and industries they regulate, then act shocked when anyone calls it what it is: influence-peddling.
They protect their own. They investigate their enemies. They never investigate themselves with the same hunger.
The worst part isn’t even the money. It’s the moral rot. A government that can lecture parents, churches, and working people about morality while shielding predators, burying files, redacting names, and treating elite sex-crime networks like a scheduling inconvenience has no moral authority left. If the same evidence, the same flight logs, the same sealed names, and the same “we can’t comment” stonewalling applied to anyone outside their class, those people would already be in prison. For this crowd, it becomes “complicated,” “ongoing,” or “not the right time.”
Foreign interference isn’t some abstract threat they discovered last week. It’s a business model. They take the money, take the trips, take the talking points, then wrap themselves in the flag and tell you anyone who notices is a conspiracy theorist.
They will fight harder to protect their donors and their secrets than they will fight to protect the border, the budget, or the people who actually pay for all of it.
I don’t hate “government” as an idea. I hate this government, the one that treats citizens like a revenue stream, treats accountability like an attack, and treats the most disgusting crimes as a club you only get punished for if you’re not connected.
No more polite language.
No more “both sides” anesthesia. If Congress had a shred of honor left, they would open every sealed file, name every protector, cut the foreign cash pipelines, and submit themselves to the same laws they impose on everyone else. They won’t. That’s the point.
They are not public servants. They are a protected class. And the country is rotting under them.

🚨#BreakingNews Vote-by Mail Reforms Now in Full Effect After Federal Judge Removes Last Nationwide Injunction — USPS Can Now Refuse Mail Ballots Unless States Upload Voter Lists and Use Federally Approved Envelopes!
In a legal whirlwind that would make the roadrunner blush, a day after issuing a scathing opinion against USPS for implementing its new rule impacting federal elections, Judge Indira Talwani, U.S. District Judge for the District of Massachusetts, vacated her August 11 nationwide preliminary injunction in League of Women Voters of Massachusetts et al. v. Donald J. Trump et al.—removing the last block against President Donald J Trump’s executive order 14399 on “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections” that reforms vote-by-mail nationwide.
State election officials must now use a new Federal Ballot Mail Portal and submit, for each mail ballot they send, the voter’s name and address plus unique barcodes for the outbound and return envelopes. They also have to use USPS-approved envelope designs to demote election mail with automation-compatible formatting and Intelligent Mail barcodes.
If a state does not submit the list, or the envelope does not match the new design/barcode rules, USPS can now refuse to mail the ballot— Military and overseas (UOCAVA) ballots are exempt.
DHS will now be working with SSA and other federal agencies to compile and send each state a “State Citizenship List” of people the federal government considers confirmed adult citizens living in that state. If your name isn’t on the list and you receive a ballot, DOJ will have the authority to prioritize a federal investigation against state and local election officials, and if applicable pursue prosecutions.
Judge Talwani granted the Trump administration’s August 24th motion in the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts et al. v. Donald J. Trump et al. case to reconsider after the Supreme Court’s ruling in the related states’ case (Trump v. California), concluding the original challenge was not ripe without an amended complaint now that USPS has issued a final rule.
The plaintiffs in the League of Women Voters v Trump case have filed a supplemental complaint and new emergency motions for a TRO and preliminary injunction aimed at the final USPS rule. Judge Talwani set a hearing for 9 a.m., September 3. If the plaintiffs can prove that the claims are now ripe (sufficient legal grounds) because a final rule exists, that they have standing from concrete harm to their members, they are likely to win on the merits of the rule itself.
In the separate Trump v. California, SCOTUS stayed the original injunction and said the states lacked standing/ripeness to challenge the executive order itself. The Court treated the EO as an internal directive to agencies, not a final action that had yet injured the states. It then pointed to the fix: if USPS issued a final rule that actually harmed the states, “they may challenge that rule.” This case is no longer the main battlefield at the district court.
So, on August 26 Washington state AG Nick Brown along with California AG Rob Bonta, Massachusetts AG Andrea Joy Campbell, and Nevada AG Aaron Ford and 21 other states filed suit targeting the final USPS rule from President Trump’s March 2026 executive order 14399. The defendants in this case are USPS and related postal officials, and no longer President Trump as the lead defendant.
This is the new live emergency motion for a TRO, preliminary injunction, and Administrative Procedure Act stay case where the plaintiff states, including Washington, are arguing the now-finalized rule is unconstitutional, exceeds USPS’s statutory authority, violates the Privacy Act and Voting Rights Act, and imposes unworkable last-minute requirements on states. This is the follow-on case SCOTUS indicated they could bring once there was actual final agency action to challenge.
This case was filed in the same Massachusetts federal court as the two previous cases — State of California et al. v. Trump and League of Women Voters of Massachusetts v. Trump — where Judge Indira Talwani presides. Talwani put it on the same September 3 hearing calendar as the League case.
So, September 3 is the next legal showdown between the Trump administration and plaintiffs including Washington state!
@Riley_Gaines_ Not just with a gun, "shoot a gun at somebody". Nothing to see here, just a typical wokism tactic of gross exaggeration to get the low IQ feels activated.
