From a verified voter in Mason, TXLOSING = WINNING. IRAN WITH NUKES = GOP SHRUG
Can you say LOSER? Trump’s war on Iran has killed 13 service members and injured 400 more. And has cost us at least $132B so far in immediate costs, lost income, and higher consumer costs. Lacking actual skills to make a good deal, the president just signed an MOU that leaves the US in a much wor
From a verified voter in Mason, TXWE ARE PAYING FOR TRUMP’S BALLROOM. AND THAT IS AN ACTUAL FACT
From today’s WaPo reporting… Five months after the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, President Trump claimed that the project to construct a massive ballroom and a bunker in its place would cost up to $400M. And that private donors would pay for all of it. “This is taxpayer-free. We have

The President gave himself a fantasy gift on his BD. “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval
From a verified voter in Mason, TXHAPPY FLAG DAY. LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
Happy Flag Day America. Today we celebrate our country’s enduring symbol. One we revere. Salute. Keep from desecration. Mostly. Friday night UFC fighters held a press conference at the Lincoln Memorial in advance of the UFC cage matches at the White House for the president’s BD party today. Flag
From a verified voter in Mason, TXWE THE PEOPLE DON’T WANT A CARNIVAL. WE WANT COMPETENT LEADERSHIP
If we ever needed an analogy for how the Trump administration works its magic, we got to see it in the much-anticipated removal of his failed rebranding of the Kennedy Center yesterday. Or not see it as the case may be. Seriously. We have the most technologically advanced country in the world, but
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTRUMP. EPSTEIN. TRUMP. IRAN. MORE TRUMP. JUST HOW EXHAUSTED ARE WE THE PEOPLE?
He’s baaaaaack…Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news as NYT White House reporters this week detailed how desperately worried the WH was last summer over the Epstein files. How they searched desperately for a way to look as if they were being transparent to appease the MAGA base. While also making sure
From a verified voter in Mason, TXWHEN YOU’RE PRESIDENT THEY HAVE TO CALL YOU SMART. INSTEAD OF JUST PLAIN NUTS
Today’s fairy tale from the Oval… A reporter asked President Trump if he was concerned about the creeping inflation we’re seeing. Trump answered: “You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why?” And away he went… He slid into a fantasy rewriting of the history of his war on Ira
From a verified voter in Mason, TXWILL THE PARTY OF LAW & ORDER CAVE TO LAWLESSNESS? AGAIN?
The GOP Congress is in a pickle. President Trump officially nominated acting AG Todd Blanche to become the Attorney General of the United States. His long-time personal lawyer. And loyal to his core to the boss. Since he took over for Pam Bondi, Blanche has openly flouted the law in order to do Tr
From a verified voter in Mason, TXPOLITICAL POWER IS BEING MISUSED & ABUSED AGAINST CONSTITUENTS. AND THE COUNTRY
Question of the day…why is an American president given a national platform on one of our major media outlets to spread disinformation, lies, and his own personal opinions masquerading as the truth, and by and large allowed to get away with it? That’s what we were subjected to in NBC’s recent interv
From a verified voter in Mason, TXD-DAY REMEMBERED. BEING A REAL MAN MEANS MORE THAN MUSCLES
June 6. D-Day. Another momentous day that will live in infamy in America’s history. And thank goodness it does. Without D-Day the entire planet might be living a very different reality. While we’re bombarded right now with what it’s supposed to be like if you’re a real man, we should contemplate h
From a verified voter in Mason, TX$$$ FOR ICE? INSURGENTS? APPLES FOR KIDS? WHICH ONE GOT YES. NO. OR MAYBE
The optics of political calculation… GOP Congress outraged, lots of pearls clutched, at the thought of a $17.76B Trump slush fund to compensate those who stormed the Capitol and beat up on police protecting lawmakers…but not enough to put their money where their mouths are. The Senate just passed
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHE GOP TRAIN IS OFF THE RAILS. AND THE CONDUCTOR IS AROUND THE BEND
Political parties try to earn your vote. Authoritarian movements find ways to win without it. Welcome to the new and improved GOP. Abolish black votings rights. Check. Approve cheating via gerrymandering. Check. Condemn experience and expertise to the losers and suckers pile. Check. Relinquish
From a verified voter in Mason, TXLOOKS LIKE THE MAN CAN MAKE A DEAL AFTER ALL. JUST NOT FOR US
I might have to revise my option of Donald Trump’s dealmaking ability. Yes we might be stuck in an endless conflict/war in Iran. No he hasn’t ended any of the wars he promised that only he could. No he hasn’t actually solved any of America’s current financial anxieties. In fact it could be said h
From a verified voter in Mason, TXCAN THIS MARRIAGE BE SAVED? WE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT SURE
Free therapy for the day…’betrayal trauma.’ Most people filter life through the idea that things should be fair. And we expect situations that are unlawful to be treated as such. So when we watch somebody get away with horrible things without any real accountability, it’s really hard for us. This
From a verified voter in Mason, TXGOP HISTORY LESSON FOR TODAY. YOU’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE.
History speaks. And it repeats. We should listen. And heed. On June 1, 1950, Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith from Maine stood up against Republican Senator Joe McCarthy, whose ‘communism’ crusade was undermining American democracy. GOP politicians wanted control of the government for the f
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTRUMP SHOULD TAKE HIS SHOW ON THE ROAD. HE’D SLAY IN THE POCONOS
You gotta laugh sometimes. Right? So let’s… The music fest organized/hosted by the president’s Freedom 250 party planner for America’s birthday seems to have fizzled once performers realized it was for his party, not the country’s. But no prob. Trump said today he was “ordering my Representatives
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS AN AMERICAN MORALITY LESSON. WILL WE LEARN FROM IT?
The Trump administration has provided a great service to America. They have exposed every single crack in our foundation that allows nefarious behavior. They operate in a world where actions might not violate the letter of the law exactly, but that definitely violate any code of fairness or moral
From a verified voter in Mason, TXPOLITICAL REALIGNMENT IS COMING. MAYBE EVEN IN TEXAS.
Poor Texas. Is it still the Great State of? It was once a state of frontier independence. Resistant to being told what to do. Fighting against overwhelming odds to live free. Determined to be no one’s lackey. Say goodbye to all that. All it took was one Yankee carpetbagger from Queens, NYC to erase
From a verified voter in Mason, TXOUR GOVERNMENT IS IN THE PRIVATE PRISON BUSINESS. DO WE WANT TO PAY FOR IT?
When injustice is rampant, where to focus? ICE continues to cause misery. Fueled by an administration determined to punish even those who live and work and pursue the American dream through our established laws. People are continuing to be arrested, detained, subjected to inhumane treatment, and den
From a verified voter in Mason, TXAMERICA NEEDS A BREAK FROM INSANITY. PLEASE.
“Democracies are not lost all at once. They erode piece by piece while people convince themselves that what they are seeing cannot really be happening.” Defending our Republic and democracy is exhausting business. Sometimes it’s the equivalent of kicking a dead horse to try and get elected official
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. AMERICA SURVIVES BECAUSE OF IT.
Today, Memorial Day, America remembers generations of our citizens who put themselves in harms way to defend our Republic, and the democracy for which it stands. Without their selfless sacrifice, we would have no country to celebrate. But we also look around and see that the America they signed up
From a verified voter in Mason, TXTHE GOP QUANDARY…TO LIE. OR NOT TO LIE. THAT IS THE QUESTION
It’s not certain that the current trend by some in the GOP Congress to speak out against corruption and abuse of power by the Trump administration will hold. But it’s certainly refreshing to see. Unfortunately most of the people speaking out are either banished from the GOP or on their way out the
