I rarely talk about what January 6 cost me and my family. The friendships, the threats, the party I once called home.
But today, I feel something I haven't felt in years.
Vindication.
We refused to bow to Trump. We paid a price. And last night, America roared back.
This one's personal.

BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries dances on Mike Johnson’s political grave with the perfect trolling taunt after last night’s blue tsunami.
It’s time to put these fascists in their place…
“Mike Johnson was correct. The polls were wrong. It wasn’t simply a blue wave; it was an American tsunami!” Jeffries mocked at a press conference.
Republicans like Johnson insisted right up to Election Day that the polls were wrong and that their party would overperform at the ballot box. Instead, we witnessed the greatest collapse of a political movement in modern history as MAGA crumbled and Democrats swept the night.
Johnson has already signaled that he will not seek the role of House Minority Leader after Democrats take control of the chamber. In fact, he’s even floating the idea that he might retire from government and start a “lawn business.” He can’t possibly be any worse at that than he was at being Speaker.
“The American people have chosen the economy over extremism,” said Jeffries, who is the frontrunner for the gavel. “The American people have chosen House Democrats because they want to see a dramatic change in direction, and that’s exactly what House Democrats will deliver on Day One.”
He vowed that Democrats will use their mandate to tackle the issues that Americans most care about: solving the affordability crisis, expanding ObamaCare subsidies, reversing MAGA cuts to Medicaid, cutting of Trump’s tariffs, and ending the disastrous war with Iran.
“Democrats promised a new path forward, and last night, the voters delivered a mandate for it,” said Jeffries.
Now that the sun is setting on Johnson’s reign, let’s briefly enumerate his “accomplishments.” He rubber-stamped a pointless war that skyrocketed gas prices, oversaw the coverup of the Epstein files, and handed Texas to Democrats. He will go down as one of the most spineless, ineffective Speakers in American history.
Please ❤️ and share to wish Johnson good riddance!

My Lord.
@JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read.
Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon.
One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake.
Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds.
Really says it all.

Dear Gullible White Male Trump voters,
I made something for YOU.

A must read... PLEASE!!!
I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
My forever President... I'm not surprised❤️❤️❤️

BREAKING: HELL YES! Vietnam veterans hit Trump with a massive lawsuit to stop his hideous and “disrespectful” Triumph Arch from being erected in D.C.
They didn't mince words about that draft-dodging coward...
"We know how authoritarian dictatorships work. There's no rule of law, there's no consent of the governed, and there's monuments for the leaders there," said veteran and retired diplomat Jon Gundersen.
"I think what we're doing is being loyal to the country. And loyalty can be measured in different ways," Gundersen added. He's suing the Trump administration along with veterans Shaun Byrnes and Michael Lemmon. Their lawsuit is joined by the ethics watchdog group Public Citizen.
The arch, which Trump has admitted is being built to honor himself, is slated to go up between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, our country's most hallowed resting place. At over twice the size of the Lincoln Memorial, the 250-foot-tall eye sore would cut off a clear view between the memorial and cemetery — inserting Trump's ego smack dab in the middle of our national soul.
"It's more about the duty I feel towards my colleagues and friends who did not come home to stand up against this project, regardless of who's in charge," said Byrnes. "I think it's just disrespectful to those that I served with who didn't come back, and then, of course, to all those who are lying in Arlington National Cemetery."
He explained that he has always hoped to be buried at Arlington when he dies but if Trump's arch goes up he'll be forced to "reconsider" his options.
The lawsuit argues that not only is Trump's vanity project arch illegal because he failed to obtain congressional approval, but it's also a disastrous design decision because it disrupts the intended sightline between the cemetery, which lies on land seized from Robert E. Lee, and the Lincoln Memorial, which was erected in the wake of the Civil War.
Tellingly, the administration has yet to unveil a price tag for the arch. While Trump previously claimed that it would be fund by private donations (meaning corrupt pay-to-play bribes) he also said the same thing about his ballroom and is now seeking $1 billion to build that.
“Even if you took private donations, is that how we want to build monuments?” said Gundersen. “To the oligarchs who give money for favors?"
More to the point, what "triumph" is Trump celebrating? His Iran War is a world-historic debacle that will almost certainly end with Iran in direct control of the Strait Hormuz, cementing themselves as a preeminent world power. On the domestic front, it has been one defeat after another for the United States. Trump gutted Medicaid, destroyed our education and scientific research systems, and devastated our economy with harebrained tariffs and costly military adventurism overseas.
The only Trump-related triumph will belong to the American people when we finally kick him and his entire party out of power.
Please ❤️ and share if you oppose Trump's arch!
