Democracy’s on the Ballot

We don't talk enough about how Citizens United laid the groundwork for the slow death of democracy. Especially after decades of tax cuts that allowed ultra-wealthy people and corporations to hoard huge amounts of wealth, which they can now much more easily translate into political power.

Dr. Leah C. Stokes@leahstokes I can't stop thinking about how Trump would eliminate our free, public weather service, NOAA. It's an institution that goes back 53 years and protects Americans everyday with warnings for tornados, thunderstorms and more. That's the Project 2025 plan.

I was so disappointed to read about Schiff doing that. He’s one of my favorite Congressman. I’m sure it’s the polls they are seeing, but I think they really just need to harp on project 2025 piece by piece up until the election.

Another massive investment creating thousands of jobs in Texas, thanks to the CHIPS Act! I proudly voted for this bipartisan legislation because I knew Texas would benefit. Ted Cruz voted no. Texans deserve a Senator who will deliver results. -Colin Allred

One element that I don't think most people understand yet is how decentralized Trump 2.0 is going to be. They're going to fire 50,000 government workers and install the most unhinged Trump-loving assholes they can find. Each one will be a mini-dictator who can harass every perceived enemy.

Can hardly wait for Times writers to learn that freedom of the press will only be for certain definitions of the word “press”.

He has no morals what so ever. Unity to him is only for those who kiss his ass.

The ONLY thing I am sure of is that I am voting Democratic all the way through my ballot and Democratic for president even if they run a head of lettuce. Literally. I don’t care. We have to stop the GOP.
