You know what would clean up DC crime greatly? Remove his entire staff, appointees, cabinet, vp, and himself. It’s up to us to replace those in congress who condone these criminals.

Let this from @rbhubbell.bsky.social soak in: open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

“Before leaving the discussion of this meeting, it is worth noting the grotesque impropriety of the Attorney General of the United States participating in a strategy meeting designed to rehabilitate a convicted child sex trafficker (Ghislaine Maxwell) at the same time that the DOJ has refused to pursue perpetrators and co-conspirators identified in Epstein’s files.”

Wow, it’s almost as if oligarchs have systematically recreated the oppressive unjust class systems that our ancestors fled. Those systems made life so unbearable they sacrificed everything for the hope of a better life. #historyrhyming

From Robert Hubbell today: If you live in NV, MN, CA, NY, NJ, IL or CT, llet Senators Cortez Masto (202-224-3542) and Amy Klobuchar (202-224-3244) know how feel about a bill that threw 25% of Americans under the bus. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Constituents are mad and worried about Medicaid cuts now, but according to mitch mcconnell they’ll “get over it.” Yes because, according to joanie ernst, “everybody dies.” The regressive party’s new slogan, “Don’t like it? Die and get over it.”

NYT and WaPo pulled all their coverage of No Kings days 8 hours after the event began - arguably the largest resistance in the history of this country. WSJ never mentioned it. Enough of the media going after the democratic party when we have a convicted felon authoritarian wannabe.

Key points from Robert Hubbell yesterday: The president of the United States does not have the authority to declare war; congress should do its own job. I don't understand why the media doesn't address this but instead treats Iran like a reality show -- will he? won't he?

What occurred to me only yesterday is that it didn’t enter my mind to be appalled that 47 did not respond to the murders and attempted murders of MN legislators. Nor did I see any coverage anywhere about his lack of leadership and decency. No one is surprised or appalled.

Our “government” doesn’t represent us & we WILL take back democracy. I can SEE it now & that’s something I didn’t have before yesterday. 🦋
