Crockett: 19 of the 26 Republicans on this committee voted against keeping FEMA funded and 9 are in states that were directly hit. I don’t understand why we pretend that we have all these issues with this agency when you don’t want to fund it.

Aww farmers are having a big cry now that they realize that all the cheap labor they had been using is in great danger of being deported. Now those farmers will actually have to pay a living wage and the prices of their goods will go through the roof. To the liberal farmers my sympathies to you…to the farmers who voted Trump😂😂😂😂always voting against your best interests.

"The idea of mass deportations is frightening and scary, just on a humane level," dairy farmer Jennifer Tilton Flood reportedly said. "With regards to our community, mass deportations could affect our entire dairy industry throughout the U.S."

45% of 2.2 million farm workers are migrants. That is damn near half the workers. Now our meat, dairy, vegetables, and fruits will have to be imported and Trump will put tariffs on that😂😂😂. Only in America can we put idiots in charge of the country.

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

Also lol to every asshole who bought a 4 year supply of toilet paper. Get fucked.

[Vatnik Soup @vatniksoup]

As there's clearly not much to say about the debate other than Trump was deranged and he'd clearly abandon Ukraine and appease Russia, I'm just gonna post the best memes and posts about the whole thing.

Post your favorites👇🏻

That’s the kind of toxic work environment I need in my life

@OccupyDemocrats Trump is a misogynist. The video below is hard to watch. It will almost certainly cause you to feel rage and revulsion. But watch it anyway. Hold your nose if you have to, but watch it. Then repost it. America needs to know how obnoxious Trump is!

[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

Imagine you go to work on time for your shift, ready to go, open the doors for customers, start interacting with them, assisting them, etc. but you don't start getting paid until the last customer is in and the door closes. No other job is allowed to steal your time like this.

Preach.

Let’s do this. As I’ve said in the past, nothing makes a statement on important news close to the newspaper front page. Across America, almost every editor went with the simple fact, “Guilty.”
Let’s start with the biggest circulation. /1

@PicturesFoIder When you reach the end of the internet, its a picture of this story, and then you start again.

With Pride Month coming up, I’d like to talk about this. It’s great to support “love is love” & celebrate that. No doubt. However, queer and trans people ARE in danger. Depending on where you are, that danger can mean a lot of things.

Here in the U.S., there are 515 anti-trans bills circulating in state houses nationwide. Everything from stripping trans people of legal recognition to ridiculous bathroom bills. The GOP has outdone itself during this election year.

We are facing threats, constant demonization, and a growing violence nationwide. Those that are closing their eyes to it need to open them. Injustice is happening as we speak.

Let’s focus less on corporate pride & more on what the true origins of the Pride movement are: resistance & acts of rebellion against the status quo.

1. The National Park Service appears to be cracking down on Pride, leaving LGBTQ+ rangers and employees feeling betrayed.

Restrictions on pins and participation in major city prides remain uncertain.

I spoke to employees to learn more.
