"So we get that there are Democrats who have concerns with Zohran Mamdani. We disagree, but we get it." Gee Adam that's unusually low key for you, especially when your talking about islamophobe/racist Sen. Gillibrand. You remember when she got the vapors over photos of Sen Al Franken; helped force him to resign, and "cast herself as a feminist champion of “zero tolerance” toward sexual impropriety..." Well she endorsed disgraced former Governor, and sexual harasser, Andrew Cuomo, and it seems she continues to support him.

I too will be spending the 4th of July in a state of mourning. Sigh. Thank you for keeping us all company.

Ya know, after being castigated by my neighbors for flying the Pride Flag last month, I'm going to fly the fucking American flag for the month of July. I had to go find one at a home store for $30 which freaking chapped my ass and it was made in China. Gawd, the irony. Now they know I'm an LGBTQIA+ supporter and also a white, hetero, middle-aged married woman who may just challenge their senses. They can't take our country away with their idiocracy.

On the 4th, I am going to proudly march with my fellow Democrats in our local parade in our red district because it matters. I will wear my USAF veteran t-shirt and wave a flag because I refuse to let MAGA win. I am not afraid of them.

I got as far as note two when I realized that you're using the wrong name for the abomination in Florida. You SHOULD call it the same thing I do: ALLIGATOR AUSCHWITZ.

Note eight: We cemented our place as the dumb country on November 6th, 2024.

Note ten: Nazis gonna nazi, boys.

Note eleven: I think I'll watch Infinity War and Endgame again. I need the joy I'll get from watching them again.

Note fifteen: Fettermanchinema lied to everyone to get elected, and there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. Did you know that there is NO WAY to get rid of a senator other than vote them out of office? You're not allowed to bump 'em off. That's only for MAGA freaks.

Note seventeen: Did you know that Texas has Trumpburger restaurants? EW!

Note nineteen: Those poor folks; it's like living in the apartment above a meth lab.

Mass Murderers: Don't forget that Trump's bungling of the Covid pandemic means that he killed more Americans than anyone in history.

Can he be recalled? How does the electorate feel about recalling him? Put his ass on the beach like the beached whale he is. A disgrace to the human race.

Nope. He's there for the six years, barring death or disability or criminal conviction. When I lived in Texas I was so mortified by Ted Cruz that I googled "how to recall my senator." Nope.

This 4th of July, I will be spending the day crying. I can’t believe what has happened to this country. 😔

Side note, if Elon helped trump cheat in this last election, I hope he drops that bombshell and then leaves. Just give us some ammunition to get rid of the orange turd and his cabinet.

After Brexit? Nah, I’m moving to somewhere they don’t speak English so I never have to explain.

Do people truly believe we will ever vote on anything again if we allow these despicable people to rule the country? He clearly stated that we wouldn’t have to vote again. This horror story

requires a revolution now. Waiting until midterms to find out “if maybe” is a stupid lazy option.

As a Dem living in 🇨🇦 celebrating Canada Day on this 30th day of June I am able to escape the deep sadness of this coming July 4, 2025.

Just a bit of a correction:

There were 6 million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust. In addition, there were 5 million more killed: Catholics, gypsies, homosexuals, and the disabled. So there were 11 million killed in the Holocaust. Still more will be killed with this big fugly bill.

I love you guys.

We're gonna watch "The Twilight Zone" marathon on TV for the Fourth of July. It's more like reality now, isn't it?

Slashing Medicaid is this CR bill’s main focus. Medicaid is only available if your income is virtually nil, i.e., your prove that you are very poor. Republicans have not heard Blessed are the poor. We are responsible for these people. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/the-25-trillion-annual-deficit-plan?r=3m1bs

If Obama or Biden tookk advantage of the POTUS and sold products, Republicans would be freaking out. Why aren't the Democrats?
