So here is where we are.... [View all]

While all the attention shifts to Iran, because the news and MAGA can only handle one thing at a time.


Inflation has not come down
Education is still under attack
Women being denied medical care and left to die in childbirth - and even tortured after death.
People are being kidnapped off the street, shoved into unmarked SUVs and shipped off to torture prisons with no legal recourse.
The federal government is sending armed thugs to terrorize people in their homes and jobs
States are forcing Christianity on everyone
We still don't have all the Epstein files
Public lands are about to be destroyed for personal profits
Crops are rotting in the field
The unemployment rate is shooting up
Housing starts have come to a full stop
Everyone's retirement savings is taking a beating
The GOP is gunning for old people and poor people (of course)
The Ukraine War is still on
Elon still has all our private info for profit
Election questions remain unanswered

and "Sleepy Joe" is still better on his worst day than anyone in this Admin is ever capable of being.

If I've missing anything important... please add.
