Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor.
Time will tell on their power minds.
Making war just for fun,
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgment day comes...

Text: Amid a measles outbreak, whooping cough cases have soared as vaccine rates decline. Graph: Bar chart with year on the x-axis (2014-2024) and number of whooping cough cases on the y-axis (0 through 30,000). The chart shows that cases of pertussis were over 30,000 in 2014, but remained at or below 20,000 from 2015 through 2023. In 2020 and 2021, cases dropped to a record low (below 10,000) because most schools closed due to COVID-19. But in 2024, cases shot back up to 35,435.
Whooping cough (pertussis) cases have skyrocketed by more than 1,500% nationwide since 2021.
Deaths tied to the disease are also up — hitting 10 last year, compared with about two to four in previous years — and cases are on track to exceed that total in 2025.

The ground is painted in lavender dotted with pale golden color indicating the light through the leaves.

They’ll do it in a few high profile cases to set examples. People will say, “No way this holds up in court.” Maybe. But we now know the plan: they’ll do it first, then dare the courts to stop them. And this too will be very difficult for courts to undo. This is end of democracy stuff.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
