Trump just called the Supreme Court’s mail-voting decision “a great ruling for the Republican Party.” He didn’t say it was great for voters or election security. He said it was great for his party.

If your party’s big election win is making it harder for people to vote by mail, maybe the problem isn’t mail-in voting. Maybe it’s your party.

Therefore my name is MUCH older than the Canadian providence called Ontario. So all this childish behavior is literally petty BS.
I will ALWAYS be Lake Ontario.

I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters.
In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.

Nearly 200,000 people voted for Lindsey Graham's sister last night. The gayest most blood soaked Senator in American history and 200,000 South Carolinians were like fk it let's give that piece of shits sister a 6 year term.

Democracy is a disaster.

We are surrounded by idiots.

"You have shown us that you are not on OUR side." —Viola Davis rejects Target's apology over racist Halloween costume

“Target, I do not accept your apology, and I do not believe that you understand the impact... the pain... the dehumanization of the above.

These images laid the foundation and the ideology for every atrocity that has been committed against my people.

We MATTER!!

You have shown us that you are not on OUR side.”

I'm seeing some people ask why the Democratic Party and congressional leaders aren't doing more to challenge Trump's anti-voting executive order.

They were literally the first to seek a new injunction after SCOTUS ruled. I know, because I am their lawyer. https://t.co/zuQZRus7RL

WTH is wrong with Ohio voters that voted for Republican Rodney Creech despite the fact he is accused of sexual misconduct of crawling into the bed with his own 15 year old daughter AND admitted to inappropriate contact. 🤬 The GOP is the ‘Gang of Pedophiles.’

BREAKING: I’m suing the Trump Administration to stop their unconstitutional attempt to change the rules and restrict mail-in voting. I’ll remind the President of my track record going up against him in court — and winning — to protect Pennsylvania’s free, fair, safe, and secure elections. I’m prepared to do so again.

Nothing about voting by mail has changed here in Pennsylvania. You can still vote safely and securely by mail.

While Donald Trump may try to inject chaos into our elections, the Constitution is clear: the authority to set election rules belongs to the states — not the federal government.

So the people who voted for Darline Graham because she’s Lindsey Graham’s sister - called Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson unqualified.

We pay the premiums. We pay the deductibles. We pay the copays.

Then when we actually need care, an insurance company gets to decide whether it will pay.

Healthcare should exist to keep people alive and healthy, not to maximize shareholder returns.

Something has to change.

ICE is not in Danbury and other Connecticut cities to protect people. They are here to besiege our communities. To create chaos and act lawlessly. If they aren’t going to obey the law, they need to leave.

My dad was a public school teacher; and he always said the toughest parts of the job were:

1. Having to pay for your own classroom chalk, and
2. Performing gender-reassignment surgeries during class hours w/out parents finding out.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

The Postal Service’s job is to deliver your ballot. It is not Donald Trump’s job to decide whether you get one. Our elections are run by the states, not the President.

Voting is about to begin, and Trump is trying to rewrite the rules on the eve of it. With the first mail ballots going out next week, his Administration is trying to impose new requirements on states that have already spent months preparing to run their elections.

And he is trying to push those changes through before the courts have even determined whether he has the authority to do it in the first place.

We are not going to stand by while Donald Trump tries to seize power over our elections that does not belong to him, and we will fight him in court every step of the way.

Donald Trump does not get to invent powers the Constitution never gave him.

I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.

Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.

The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.

The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.

It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.

They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.

Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!

Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.

Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?

Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
