Pennsylvania's House of Representatives does have the ability to expel State Rep. Aaron Bernstine. The problem, however, is needing two thirds of the vote. Currently it's split 103-100 in favor of Dems. He needs to be out of public service yesterday.

Picking up a 17 yo girl, feet off the ground, holding her against his body, swinging her around? Yeah, no. His spoke says "proven false" allegations. Apparently not. A community org that hires teens? There's no way it was the only time. Lying about it now as a 31 yo running for Board of Ed prez? 🤨

Emily Marris bought raw milk from a farm recommended to her on Facebook. After her 17-month-old drank it, the toddler contracted E. coli and nearly died. Despite knowing this, the farmer continued advertising “raw goat milk from a clean tested herd.”

Marsha Blackburn has cost the US tax payer at least $52.3 billion. Blackburn’s record on Israel and Iran has a human and financial cost.

Meanwhile, more than $100 MILLION has been raised or spent supporting Blackburn throughout her political career, according to campaign-finance reporting. Major backers include billionaire Jeff Yass and Club for Growth, Americans for Prosperity, payday lender Advance Financial and interests connected to private-prison operator CoreCivic. Some operate in industries benefiting from government contracts, regulatory exemptions or policies they advocate.

Her record extends beyond war. Blackburn received about $120,000 in pharmaceutical-industry campaign contributions while supporting legislation later criticised for weakening the DEA’s ability to stop suspicious opioid shipments.

Her campaign finances have also faced scrutiny. Her federal campaign transferred $4.8M to Club for Growth Action, while closely connected organisations subsequently moved about $4.81M into a Tennessee PAC supporting her gubernatorial campaign. Reporting did not establish that the transactions were illegal.

The documented record is therefore substantial: Blackburn has supported military policies associated with tens of billions of dollars in public spending during conflicts involving mass civilian death, while more than $100M has been raised or spent supporting her political career.

The record is stark: more than $100M raised or spent supporting Blackburn’s political career, while she backed billions in military spending and repeatedly supported policies that sustained wars marked by mass civilian death. Follow the money, follow the votes and look at who paid the price on YOUR dime.

Even from a colonial-strategy standpoint, Israel is an enormous expense ($38B / 10 yrs) with a diminishing return. US and allied bases in Cyprus & Turkey already project power across the region, while the Iran war has opened questions over whether Israel’s strategic value even justifies its cost.

A police search of Flock producing 50 individual records of a woman's whereabouts across the country for an entire month violated her Fourth Amendment rights, Judge Sara E. Hill of Oklahoma's Northern District ruled yesterday. "Why is it the government’s business where everyone goes all the time?"

To be sure, ALPR technology does not provide the same precision in
location information as cell phones. But it could still reveal a lot about a
person’s whereabouts, and it is easy to imagine the kinds of sensitive
information it collects. It could track and log a couple struggling to start a family at the fertility clinic. It could show how often someone visits a liquor store or casino. It could show which doctor someone goes to or what lawyer’s office someone visits. It also collects mundane information about people’s commutes, but it collects a tremendous amount of such information all the time. It is possible that a dedicated team of law enforcement officers could

Case 4:26-cr-00189-SEH Document 62 Filed in USDC ND/OK on 10/01/26 Page 36 of 38

37

constitutionally collect this information about one car—and its driver—by following that vehicle on public roadways over a month. But this leaves the question of why is it the government’s business where everyone goes all the time? The government cannot go snooping through our personal lives and business without an adequate basis to do so. That is what the Supreme Court has said since its decision in Katz through its decision in Chatrie this year, nearly sixty years later. It is not too much to draw the line at indiscriminate mass surveillance.
