It is, in New Zealand and Australia + they made Election Day a National Holiday. Americans stand in line to vote for hours in the heat or cold and it's illegal to approach a voter to hand them a bottle of water. America is on life support. Hopefully we pull the plug on the GOP in November.

A win! Prosecutors in Washington are dropping charges against three more defendants who had been accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Thus ends the saga of Drunken Judge Jeanine, fired for unsuccessfully prosecuting innocent Americans over the Deflecting Pool.

Letting Trump evade IRS audits is akin to leaving a bank vault open, knowing bank robbers are about to enter.

Not everything changes overnight, but every generation has a chance to move things forward. I support Democrats because I believe in protecting rights, supporting working people, and creating a better future. Small actions add up. Don’t underestimate your voice.

The vote should not just be a right, it should be mandatory!

Another ex-serviceman was arrested under the UK Terrorism Act outside Westminster Magistrates Court for saying “I support Palestine Action, and I urge you all to support Palestine Action.” He was among 152 arrested for a range of alleged crimes, facing up to 14yrs in prison.
