Democrats have poured ~$50M+ (your $49M figure tracks pro-referendum spending) into Virginia’s April 21, 2026 special election to pass a constitutional amendment. It would let the Democratic legislature temporarily override the bipartisan redistricting commission (voter-approved in 2020) and enact new congressional maps for the 2026 midterms — then revert to the commission after 2030. The proposed map aims to flip the current 6D-5R delegation to 10D-1R by stretching Northern Virginia suburbs into rural areas — without a new census. Democrats call it “restoring fairness” in response to other states’ maps. Critics call it a mid-decade gerrymander via a “vote now, litigate later” court workaround. Voters in 2020 explicitly took map-drawing power away from politicians to stop partisan gerrymandering. This move redefines “fairness” as whichever side can exploit a legal/technical opening first. It escalates the national redistricting arms race rather than protecting democracy.

Barack Hussein Obama @BarackObama just released a new video urging Virginia voters to support his and Eric Holder’s @EricHolder redistricting scam: “Virginia, if you haven’t done it already, make a plan to vote YES on the redistricting referendum.” As we exposed, Obama has been running ads in Virginia pushing voters to approve the Democrats’ new congressional map that would hand them multiple extra seats ahead of the midterms. The effort to rig Virginia’s congressional maps is also being funded by Soros @georgesoros. Democrats can never win fairly

The "fracking ban" was her explicit 2019 primary position; she dropped it by 2024, stating she would not ban fracking and favoring net-zero incentives instead. Her outrage at ~$4.09 national gas prices (April 2026) is political: blaming Trump's Iran conflict/"war blockade," which disrupted the Strait of Hormuz and spiked prices ~30% in ~90 days. Meanwhile, the current administration just released 172M barrels from the SPR to ease the surge—standard operational response, not nostalgia. It's classic opposition scripting: high prices were once "worth it"; now they're a crisis. Energy shocks are geopolitics + physics, not just partisan theater.

As VP, Kamala Harris went on an anti-fossil fuel tirade claiming gas-powered school buses impact children’s “ability to learn.” Now she’s suddenly concerned about the price of gas? Let’s be clear: if Kamala became President, she would have banned gas-powered vehicles.

Prop D tries to fill a $315M federal funding gap with a "CEO Tax" based on a 100:1 global pay ratio. But counting low-wage international workers inflates the ratio for grocery stores and pharmacies, triggering massive ~800% tax hikes on their SF gross receipts. High-pay tech firms often stay under the threshold. Result: Retailers (not just "greedy CEOs") face steep new costs during a $0.36/kWh energy spike, risking higher prices, store closures, and pharmacy/food deserts — all to backfill services cut by OBBBA. It's marketed as soaking executives, but the global math hits labor-heavy businesses hardest.931ms

CEOs of large corporations now make more than 350 times what the average worker earns. San Francisco’s Prop D will tax billion-dollar corporations that pay their CEOs outrageous salaries to fund essential services devastated by Donald Trump’s funding cuts. Vote yes on Prop D.

Fraud shouldn’t be a "clerical error"—it should be a career-ender. The T.I.P.S. Act (Addendum F) mandates immediate removal and a lifetime ban from federal service for any official caught tampering with the Truth Archive. No second chances. Sign: change.org/ThePeoplesPeti…

The 2026 P-CARE Scandal The 2026 ProGRESS data is undeniable: the P-CARE Saliva Swab saves lives. Yet the VA continues to sit on this tech while 15,000 vets are diagnosed with cancer annually. This is a scandal of choice. We demand the new standard of care now. Sign: c.org/ps9mzdTQbm #VA #Justice

Haiti (~350,000 beneficiaries): DHS terminated TPS effective Feb 3, 2026. A D.C. district judge blocked it (Feb 2), calling the decision likely arbitrary/capricious and possibly motivated by animus. D.C. Circuit upheld the block (March 6, split). Supreme Court hears arguments in Trump v. Miot (consolidated with Syria) on April 29, 2026. Syria (~6,000): Similar termination blocked; also set for SCOTUS argument on April 29. Venezuela (~600,000+): Supreme Court twice allowed terminations to proceed (May & Oct 2025 stays). Most protections ended, with limited work authorization extensions for some earlier approvals. Other countries (Honduras, Somalia, Burma, Ethiopia, etc.): Multiple district court stays or blocks; mixed appellate results and ongoing litigation. Many terminations are partially in effect or stayed pending appeals. Core dispute: Whether TPS terminations are largely unreviewable under the statute, or whether courts can block them on APA (arbitrary/capricious) and equal protection grounds. Lower courts have split; SCOTUS ruling expected by early July could resolve much of the chaos. TPS remains temporary by design.

Democrat Chuck Schumer openly DEMANDS amnesty for ALL 20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS in America so that they can vote for Democrats. Is Chuck Schumer a Retard or a Traitor ??

@SenWarren Warsh faces a bigger divestiture burden because of his private-market ties, but he is following the established ethics process used by prior nominees: disclose what’s possible, divest the rest. Full divestiture removes conflicts — it does not create a "black box" takeover.

Kevin Warsh is refusing to disclose more than $100 million of his assets. Totally unprecedented.   Warsh needs to release this information now. What is he hiding?

California’s $0.36/kWh electricity rate remains roughly double the national average (~17–18¢/kWh), driven by long-standing state policies: aggressive renewables mandates, wildfire mitigation costs passed to ratepayers, grid upgrades, and regulatory burdens. The $520M April natural gas credits (~$40 average per household) and the $894M electric credits delayed until August are temporary rebates from the state’s cap-and-trade program—not structural relief. Shifting electric credits to summer looks like an attempt to blunt peak-season sticker shock. Blaming national tariffs or global events ignores the reality: California built the most expensive utility grid in the continental U.S. through its own choices. Short-term credits don’t fix chronic high costs; they just redistribute them. change.org/ThePeoplesPeti…

NEW: Thanks to California’s Climate Credits, $520 million will be cut from utility bills this month — putting money back in Californians’ pockets and lowering monthly bills! "At a time when Donald Trump is making life more expensive for every American … California is fighting back.”

Sen. Schiff’s Prison Libraries Act ($60 million over six years) promises to fill librarian vacancies and deliver a 43% recidivism drop via "education"—but the often-cited figure comes from a 2013 RAND meta-analysis on broad correctional education and vocational training, not prison libraries alone. Even assuming optimistic results, the math is weak: at $40,000–$65,000+ per inmate annually, preventing one re-incarceration saves real money, yet the bill spreads thin federal grants across thousands of facilities with no rigorous guarantee of outcomes. Prison libraries face real staffing challenges (high turnover, security constraints), but treating them as the primary "skills" solution romanticizes books over proven priorities like work requirements, vocational trades, drug treatment, and post-release accountability. The 2025 Schedule Policy push to defund or devolve the tiny IMLS wasn't an attack on reading—it was fiscal discipline against non-core federal spending. Prisons' core mission is punishment, incapacitation, and deterrence, not turning facilities into subsidized skill centers. This bill risks entrenching ineffective programming while shifting costs to taxpayers, without evidence it outperforms targeted, state-driven efforts or basic security reforms. change.org/ThePeoplesPeti…

Libraries are critical for incarcerated Americans seeking to get the education and skills they need to successfully reenter society. I’m introducing two bills with @repcleaver to expand library resources and reduce recidivism.

Mayor Mamdani’s blanket block on ICE access to city garages — even with federal warrants — is a direct challenge to federal supremacy in immigration enforcement. DHS data shows ~70% of recent ICE arrests target criminals (including rapists and arsonists operating in NYC), while the city continues sheltering over 10,677 individuals on Alternatives to Detention. This isn’t “public safety.” It’s deliberate nullification of federal law in a city of 8.5 million, engineered to create a constitutional crisis by pitting local sanctuary policy against Article VI supremacy and settled federal authority. Obstructing lawful federal operations doesn’t protect residents — it invites confrontation and erodes the rule of law. change.org/ThePeoplesPeti…

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani: “I believe that ICE is a cruel and inhumane agency that does nothing to serve in the interest of public safety.” This is disgusting. Our brave ICE agents are arresting heinous criminals who Democrats let in illegally.

Mayor Parker’s $1-per-ride tax on Uber and Lyft is a reckless 400% hike from her original 20-cent plan — all to plug a fraction of Philadelphia’s $300 million school deficit while claiming it “saves” just 340 jobs. This isn’t a tax on multibillion-dollar companies. It’s a direct $48 million hit on riders, especially in low-income zones where 60% of trips originate. Uber projects it will slash driver earnings by 4.5% as higher fares kill demand. Calling a mandatory pass-through fee a “choice” for corporations is dishonest spin. It’s simply shifting the burden onto working-class commuters to subsidize failing schools. change.org/ThePeoplesPeti…

"How dare you!" Democrat Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker rips critics of a plan to tax rideshare companies as her city faces a $300 million budget deficit. An Uber spokesperson said the proposal is a "consumer tax" that will be passed on to riders and make the service more expensive.

The $75B OBBBA supplemental funds scaled-up interior enforcement and detention expansion to match the authorized mass deportation mandate—not a "blank check" for urban combat. 16 deaths in ICE custody in early 2026 reflect the sharp surge in detainees (over 68,000, up dramatically from prior years); most involve medical issues or suicides, though one El Paso case was ruled a homicide by asphyxia amid restraint. Every death requires investigation and better protocols. The Renée Good shooting (U.S. citizen in Minneapolis) was tragic and demands full accountability; accounts differ on whether her vehicle movement posed a threat during an enforcement scene. Pepper ball use against interfering protesters has sparked lawsuits and court limits, but stems from resistance during operations, not routine "war zone" policing of streets. Funding enforces immigration law after years of lax policy; isolated excesses warrant fixes and oversight, not reframing lawful removals as militarized aggression.

ICE is killing American citizens in the streets, violently pulling people out of their cars, shooting them with pepper balls, all while the death toll of individuals in ICE custody grows — and Republicans want to give MORE funding to ICE? ICE needs reforms. Not a blank check.

This is a blatant mid-decade power grab. Virginia voters approved a bipartisan redistricting commission in 2020 to curb partisan map-drawing. The April 21 referendum would suspend that reform—without a new census—to let Democrats ram through a "10-1" map, flipping four GOP seats and manufacturing a 10-seat Democratic edge in a purple state. Calling it "protecting elections" while using a temporary constitutional suspension for gerrymandering is pure tactical escalation, not principle. Voters should reject it.1.2s

Donald Trump is trying to rig our elections before a single vote is cast this November. We proved in California that we can win when we fight back. Virginia, now it's your turn.

Gas hit ~$4.11–$4.13 national average after the ~30% spike from Hormuz disruptions—real pain at the pump, but temporary. The 172M-barrel SPR release (loans/exchanges as part of the IEA's 400M effort) is exactly why the reserve exists: to buffer supply shocks from conflicts without immediate economic collapse. U.S. crude production holds steady near 13.6M bpd—record territory, not flat in a vacuum. The "20% trapped" chokepoint is easing: Iran just declared the Strait completely open to commercial traffic during the ceasefire, with oil prices already dropping sharply. Full, sustained reopening plus resumed Gulf flows will deliver faster relief than any single lever. SPR isn't infinite, and wars raise costs—predictably. Ending disruptions and maximizing domestic output remain the direct paths down.

For all Trump cares, gas could be $100 a gallon. Skyrocketing fuel prices don’t affect him. But that’s not reality for the vast majority of Americans. We need to bring down costs ASAP.

The Schedule Policy/Career adjustments aimed to restore presidential control over policy roles, not dismantle expertise for its own sake. Career diplomats provide continuity, but repeated institutional resistance (leaks, slow-walking, selective dissent) under multiple administrations justifies accountability. Evacuation shortfalls and intelligence gaps in the 2026 Iran operation reflect real planning frictions in any rapid escalation, not proven causation from reassignments. "Dissent Channel" isn't a veto on elected policy. Loyalty + competence beats entrenched inertia; failures should prompt review, not reflexive defense of the permanent bureaucracy.

I got a letter from hundreds of U.S. career diplomats who were FIRED before Donald Trump's war with Iran. You won't believe what they had to say.

Reparations in practice: Chicago faces a massive budget deficit (reportedly over $150 million recently), violent crime challenges, population loss, and businesses already fleeing high taxes and disorder. Directing limited city resources into race-specific reparations programs (instead of broad-based improvements in schools, public safety, and economic opportunity) risks deepening division rather than healing it. Slavery was a profound moral evil, but the last direct victims and perpetrators have been dead for generations. Descendants of slaves and descendants of slave-owners (plus millions of later immigrants with no connection) now live in a country where outcomes depend far more on family structure, education, culture, and individual choices than on 19th-century events.

Mayor Johnson: Restaurants have "ties with slavery" so we "need reparations"

The House narrowly rejected (213-214) another Democratic-led War Powers Resolution aimed at forcing the withdrawal of U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes them. A temporary ceasefire with Iran is holding (along with the Lebanon truce), but the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports remains in effect as leverage in ongoing negotiations. Nancy Pelosi is correct that Article I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, and the War Powers Resolution exists to check unchecked executive military action. Congressional debate and authorization on major conflicts is healthy. However, this framing leaves out critical context. The current operations against Iran followed years of Iranian proxy attacks on U.S. forces and allies (via Hezbollah, Houthis, and others), nuclear threshold advances, and direct threats. The campaign began with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on February 28, 2026, targeting military and nuclear-related sites — not an unprovoked “President’s war of choice.” Pelosi and many Democrats now demand strict congressional approval, yet the same voices often defended or stayed silent on executive actions under previous administrations (Obama’s Libya intervention without approval, Biden-era strikes, etc.). Republicans are similarly inconsistent when roles reverse. The narrow vote shows deep division, not that “Republicans blocked the American people’s voice.” Congress has had multiple opportunities to vote; it simply lacked the majority to override the administration’s position or force an abrupt end mid-operation. Working families do bear costs (defense spending, potential energy price effects from the blockade), but so do they from unchecked Iranian aggression — disrupted shipping, proxy terrorism, and the risk of a nuclear-armed regime. Real constitutional responsibility isn’t just reactive resolutions to terminate hostilities after they’ve started. It’s Congress legislating clear boundaries, authorizations, or funding limits before or during crises, rather than treating every failed procedural vote as proof of dictatorship. Both parties have contributed to decades of congressional abdication on war powers when it suited them, then sudden outrage when the other side holds the White House. “Without a voice” oversimplifies a messy reality: Iran’s regime bears significant responsibility for escalation, the strikes degraded real threats, and ending operations prematurely could embolden adversaries more than it saves costs. Shared powers mean shared accountability — not selective constitutional lectures timed for partisan advantage.

The Constitution entrusts the power to declare war to Congress—the people's Representatives. With Republicans blocking another War Powers Resolution, the American people have been left without a voice in this President’s war, even as working families are left to bear the cost.

The facts: Since January 2025, the U.S. has deported over 9,000 people to El Salvador, the vast majority under standard immigration procedures. A smaller number — roughly 250–280 alleged members of violent transnational gangs like Tren de Aragua (Venezuelan) and MS-13 (Salvadoran) — were sent directly to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) under a 2025 bilateral agreement. President Bukele’s four-year state of exception has delivered dramatic results: El Salvador’s homicide rate fell from one of the world’s highest (~50–100+ per 100,000 in the mid-2010s) to historic lows around 1.3–1.9 per 100,000 by 2025, transforming the country from the “murder capital” of the Americas into one of its safest. This came at a steep cost — mass arrests (over 80,000–90,000), suspension of certain due process rights, and credible reports of arbitrary detentions, poor prison conditions, and abuse in facilities like CECOT. The U.S.-El Salvador “Safe Harbor” partnership lets America remove high-risk gang members at far lower cost than long-term U.S. incarceration, while Bukele gains revenue and international legitimacy for his security model. Critics rightly highlight due process concerns: some deportees had limited U.S. criminal records, expedited removals under the Alien Enemies Act sparked court challenges, and CECOT’s harsh, incommunicado conditions raise serious human rights issues. But context matters. These gangs have terrorized communities in both countries through murder, extortion, rape, and recruitment. Prior lax enforcement allowed them to operate with impunity inside the U.S. The choice isn’t between perfect due process and chaos — it’s between aggressive removal of documented threats versus repeating the failures that let gangs embed in American cities. Trading endless catch-and-release or sanctuary policies for a tougher security approach isn’t “violations outsourcing.” It’s a pragmatic (if imperfect) response to real transnational predation. Sustainable stability requires both effective enforcement against violent actors and safeguards against errors and abuse — not romanticizing due process that previously enabled the violence, nor pretending Bukele’s model has no dark trade-offs.

Bukele is using a State of Exception to commit flagrant human rights abuses against the Salvadorian people—and Trump is enabling him. This cannot stand.
