Send them a file that is as corrupt as this regime. Then say, “Oh my, I’m not sure how that happened. Let me re-send.” Then wait three weeks. Then wait three more weeks. If anyone asks you about it in the meantime just say, “Oh, did you not receive that?” Lather. Rinse. Impeach.

Thank you for saying this!!! The red-and-blue-state notion is an artificial construct—the result of politicians choosing their voters rather than the other way around. Without unfair gerrymandering, we would all just be states. And the individual votes of everyone in every state would really count.

I’ve noticed more and more of them lately. Perhaps a sign that the administration is getting nervous.

The Guardian story about this said the following: “A technical glitch – crossed wires from another broadcast in Miller’s earpiece – caused him to stop talking before completing his thought, CNN said.” But that sounds pretty fishy to me. I am not sure what to believe.

That the interviewer suggested that there was a technological problem or freeze-up was bananas. You can see Miller swaying back and forth slightly and his eyes are still moving around. He just stops like his battery died. Absolutely bizarro.

There were still guardrails in place for his first presidency. There were “adults in the room“ as they say who told him things like, “No, sir, you may not shoot protesters in the legs.”

It is up to all of us to actively and fearlessly resist in in whatever ways we are able to.

Some are posting on social media.
Some are protesting in the streets.
Some are donating silently.
Some are educating themselves.
Some are having tough conversations with friends and family.

A revolution has many layers. Be kind to yourself and to others who are traveling in the same direction. Just keep your foot on the gas.

Yeah. I was wondering if maybe they were given a special lunch from that CAVA chain. Their voluminous bags can hold a lot of dough.

It appears that the numbers on the alt text had incorrect area codes associated with them. I have deleted my original post and corrected it for the person who asked for the numbers. Thank you for pointing out this mistake!

Please note that the numbers in the alt text do not match the numbers in the graphic. Area codes should be 202. Call in numbers: (302)748-8000 (302)748-8001 (302)748-8002 (302)748-8003 Call speaker Johnson and ask about the Epstein files.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

But this is buried in here: “A list of proposed reforms meant to improve military recruitment includes one that would require all students at federally funded schools to complete the military’s entrance exam. But it wouldn’t force them to enlist or involve a draft.” www.usatoday.com/story/news/f...

I found this which suggests this is false; however, things are so upside-down that I’m still concerned that the P2025 squad is probably doing something like this (or worse!) ☹️ www.snopes.com/fact-check/p...

Yep. They want to control the narrative. These Republican-led maneuvers are intended to make us dumber, poorer, sicker, weaker.

“Too much us vs them propaganda.” This is everything. Each of us has the power to counteract this in our personal lives. We have to knit together our local communities, even though the powers that be are working so hard to tear us apart.

Apparently, we can do an end run around Mike Johnson, who refuses to swear in recently (and duly) elected AZ Rep #AdelitaGrijalva. Use www.pleasegrowaspine.org to contact EVERYONE and demand that Grijalva be sworn into allow her to represent her constituents.

OK, so if the Speaker of the House refuses to swear in a new representative, the House can authorize another individual to administer the oath. On rare occasions, this has included another House member or a judge.
The process for swearing in new representatives
On the first day of a new Congress, the Speaker-elect is sworn in by the Dean of the House (the longest-serving member).
The Speaker then administers the oath to all other members, including delegates and the resident commissioner, at once.
Members elected in special elections or those absent on the first day can be sworn in at a later date.
Options if the Speaker refuses to act
Designated Representative: The House can pass a resolution to allow another person to administer the oath. This has occurred when a member was absent due to illness.
Court challenge: Some legal experts argue that a newly elected member could be sworn in by a notary public and then legally challenge the delay. The Supreme Court has previously ruled that Congress cannot exclude a duly elected representative who meets the constitutional requirements for holding office.
No other business can occur: Since the oath is required by the Constitution, a representative who has not been sworn in cannot legally perform their duties. The House cannot move forward with legislative business until its members are sworn in.

Right you are. Thank you for correcting me. They are on cable, aren’t they? I suppose the only real power would be in boycotting their advertisers in that case. I may disagree with you about the First Amendment part. Some of what I have heard really does sound like a call for violence.
