Sen. Murkowski voted to strip protections from the Boundary Waters. Pleas call her DC office at (202) 224-6665 and tell her to switch her vote to a No vote tomorrow on HJR 140. The vote was 51-49!!! A changed vote by Murkowski would do the trick.

It's scary to think that if anything happens to Bibi Netanyahu, JD Vance would become president of the United States.
why yes, I'd like to listen to that grating voice spouting lies for an hour, sign me up.
The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

The Democrats’ text strategy makes me never want to donate to them again.
Can you _really_ call it a movement if you only can muster millions of protesters three times? Real @nytpitchbot.bsky.social material here.

Trump: "In Minnesota, it's very Somalia-oriented. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. They come to our country -- low IQs -- and they rob us blind. Stupid people, and they rob us blind."
