I don’t care if Lauren Boebert was an escort, had abortions or didn’t go to college. I care that a TX senator gave her $125K to run for Congress in CO with zero experience, that she’s deeply connected to the Koch’s, that her husband got a $400K job in an industry he wasn’t in…
I started PoliticsGirl as a reaction to pretty much no one in my life caring about politics. My husband volunteered to edit & produce because he believed in me and my passion for the country. Yesterday we ended up at the White House. America really is the land of opportunity. 🇺🇸
Barnes & Noble’s Banned Books section (kids edition). Please zoom in on the reasons, and question why we would ever allow to these small minded people decide what our children can read.

If I hear one more “expert” say the Republicans are going to win the midterms I’m going to lose my mind. What are the running on? Women as 2nd class citizens, don’t say gay, don’t be trans, sunsetting social security & medicaid, taxing everyone who’s NOT rich? Why would they win?
People are voting for Jim Jordan for speaker. A congressman who’s never authored a bill in his 14+ years in Congress. A man who overlooked the molestation of hundreds of boys in his care. A leading figure in the 2021 insurrection against the American government. Yikes GOP. Yikes.
So many of the horrible things happening in America right now, like teaching our children slaves were lucky to learn skills, or allowing women to bleed out in hospital parking lots, or pushing migrants into rivers to drown, could be stopped by the women who look exactly like me.
If you find yourself justifying Trump’s actions, explaining why his crimes aren’t crimes or, like almost every single Republican politician, promising to vote for him if he’s the candidate no matter his convictions, then you’re not patriots, so please stop acting like you are.
People asked "What happened to Jon Stewart?" This happened. He evolved. I can't tell you how much I wish people who claim to be journalists would hold people in power accountable like this. This is must watch TV.
Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors - ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on

My mom grew up picking cotton in the 1950s. Yesterday, she waited in line to once again pick her son to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate. We’ve come a long way, but the work isn’t done!
Please vote, Georgia 🗳
Would I like to live in a society without guns? I would. Is that going to happen in America? It won’t. So, let’s think of new ways to make our lives safer.

TikTok just suspended this video because of mass reporting claiming I violated the community guidelines. Seriously?! Man, they don’t want this point out there.
Republicans need to lose and lose big. This isn’t about pivoting. The GOP was fine destroying America to retain power & they tied themselves to a ticking time bomb to do it. The consequences of their actions must be catastrophic.
Between Nikki Haley enthusiastically supporting a national abortion ban, to Donald Trump’s rape case, to the GOP’s entire personality, the Republican Party has declared war on women, and we just can’t be ok with it.
After a year of ranting in my kitchen, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of The PoliticsGirl Podcast. This country is in trouble. Let's find a way to fix it. SUBSCRIBE anywhere you get your podcasts. New episodes drop every Tuesday. Let's do this!!
As I’ve said before, we’re talking about the wrong first kids. Sure, let’s go ahead and do a Trump appointed Special Council to look into Hunter, but let’s get a Biden appointed one to look into Jared & Ivanka too. Cool?
So, Steve “David Duke without the baggage” Scalise, or Jim “I think this pregnant 10-year old rape victim is a liar” Jordan will be 3rd in line to the US Presidency? Is that where we are on the 4th Speaker vote? Nice job Republicans. Top notch talent.
Prayers to the families of Lavel Davis, Devin Chandler, & D’Sean Perry. It's unimaginable that parents send their children to college, but tragedy prevents them from coming home. I'm tired of this. Please hug your kids, hug your students, and keep these families and UVA lifted.😔
Come on man. Only 100 people in the whole country get to be Senators. This is a wildly important job. The fact that this completely incoherent man could win is untenable. What are we doing America?
Herschel Walker thinks electric cars “cost more than [his] house,” and the government wants him to put “solar panels …on the roof of [his] car” and “live in” it.
I don’t care what Lauren Boebert did before. I care that she’s a sitting lawmaker who could be being blackmailed, is blackmailing someone, or is on a shady payroll. I care that she’s a disruptive, unqualified hypocrite. I care that Republican Party doesn’t care.
I know I’m just a dorky Mom, but I believe in the power of the young to turn this country around. I love you guys & you deserve so much better than this. 🇺🇸
I’m not sure people understand how enormous the difference is between a 50-50 Senate and a 51-49 Senate.

you have so much power to make things better. Vote

And I was. And it was thrilling.
@POTUS
is the real deal. The love & faith he has for the country and the American people can’t be faked. His authenticity is palpable and a gift to our great nation. 🇺🇸
Now this bill won’t pass, not with Democrats in the Senate & the White House, but the fact that it even made it to committee, says a lot about where the Republicans stand, and who they really work for.
Can people not see the danger here? This woman has become a leading voice in the GOP, she’s on the short list for Trump’s VP, and she’s spinning propaganda as truth and actively calling for the jailing of political enemies based on that “truth”. This is horrifying.
Losing this site makes me sad. Yes, I built a following here that I don’t have anywhere else, but it was also a place to arrogate information, get breaking news, a public square for national & natural disasters. Destroying a service like this should never have been allowed.
To be clear, the problem is not that Herschel Walker paid for an abortion. It’s that this violent & dangerous hypocrite is wildly unprepared and unsuited to be a senator.
Unreal. A town hall with the guy who tried to overthrow American democracy, has been indicted for 34 counts of fraud in New York with more to come in Georgia, and is currently on trial for rape & defamation? Cool CNN. Super cool. What pathetic shills you’ve become.
As I said last year…
If you’re starting with the premise that Donald Trump is a completely innocent, billionaire, ex-President then you have to ask yourself, where are all the lawyers?
This week alone the Republican Party introduced a national abortion ban, used tax payer dollars to human traffic legal asylum seekers, & held yet another white nationalist christofascist rally around their traitorous leader. It made me think of this video.
Fox's Jesse Watters: "... But single women and voters under 40 have been captured by Democrats. So we need these ladies to get married. And it's time to fall in love and just settle down. Guys, go put a ring on it."
So…if you hadn’t heard, my Rants have been nominated for a Webby Award! I’m in the Politics & News category with CNN, CBS, WaPo & Reuters! 😂 But they have a People’s Voice Award so, if ya want, you can vote for me, the scrappy underdog, right here…
I don’t recall any previous administration’s Secretary of Transportation looking out for the American people like this. This is what good government looks like. Credit where credit is due.
BREAKING — Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer VETOES three GOP voter suppression bills.
The bills would have made it HARDER for Michigan residents to vote.
RT IF YOU STAND WITH
@GovWhitmer
!
We are either a country of laws, or we’re not. She was warned in the last election. This time she should be disqualified. Give it to Frisch. You want people to follow the law? UPHOLD the law.
Lauren Boebert has received yet another warning letter from the Federal Election Commission saying her campaign has accepted numerous donations in excess of campaign finance limits
A survivor of the Sandy Hook School mass shooting in 2012 is a student at Michigan State University: “I am 21-years-old and this is the second mass shooting I’ve lived through. We can no longer allow this to happen. We can no longer be complacent.”
I have zero respect for Kevin McCarthy, but the fact that these traitorous, coup enabling, insurrectionist, criminal low lives are holding up our entire government with their smug entitlement, makes me irate.
This is insane! These aren’t criminals. These are teenagers and young women who dared to stand up to power, to be themselves, to share the regime’s brutality to the world. Can we really do nothing world?!
A Christian Conservative who voted Republican her entire life is calling on all women to vote for Democrats. This election is about so much more than politics.

Gov Gavin Newson on why he’s not running against President Biden in 2024 —
“I have deep respect, reverence for Joe Biden as a person. His character, his decency and his capacity to do great things… this guy deserves it and we as members of his party deserve to have his back.”
We see where this is going Mike. Embryos are now children in Alabama? You and your party do what you will, but we’re going to fight you every step of the way.
The blue checkmark simply meant your identity was verified.
Scammers would have a harder time impersonating you.
That no longer applies. Good luck out there!
So…kinda cool news. My Rants have been nominated for a Webby Award! I’m in the Politics & News category with CNN, CBS, Washington Post & Reuters! 😂 But, they have a People’s Voice Award so you can vote for me, the little underdog, if you’re so inclined…
This documentary was incredible. Taylor deserves all the praise, success and fame she’s earned. She’s the embodiment of the American Dream while also being the poster child for both compassionate capitalism and an engaged electorate. She makes me proud.
