This week on The Necessary Conversation:
🗳 Texas vs. California
Texas Republicans delayed flood relief to ram through a redistricting bill flipping up to 5 House seats. Gavin Newsom fired back with the Election Rigging Response Act. Is this tit-for-tat how democracy is supposed to work?
📺 Newsmax Lied
After years of pushing election conspiracies, Newsmax will pay Dominion $67 million in a defamation settlement. First Fox, now this. Is conservative media finally paying for the Big Lie?
📬 No More Mail-In Ballots
Trump vowed to end mail-in voting before the 2026 midterms — citing Putin of all people as backup. He claimed the U.S. is the only country using them (false: at least 34 do, including Russia). With 99 million ballots mailed in 2024, does ending them destroy fair elections?
👼 Will Trump Go to Heaven?
Trump told Fox & Friends:
“I want to try to get to heaven, if possible. I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole.”
Does divine judgment care about Stormy Daniels or separating families?
🖥 Welcome to Communist America?
The Trump admin just bought 10% of Intel — $8.9B worth. The U.S. government is now its biggest shareholder. Is this strategy, socialism, or self-enrichment?
📱 The White House on TikTok
Trump once pushed to ban TikTok — but now the White House has an official account posting pro-Trump propaganda. Mixed messaging or smart youth outreach?
🐾 Simmer Down
Not everything is fire and brimstone — this week we celebrate Kitty Kat Sugar Bear’s 14th birthday. 🎂🐶
💬 Join the debate: Should states redraw maps mid-decade? Should mail-in voting die? Will Trump ever face consequences? Or should we just eat cake with Kitty Kat?
