Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I know trans people and I know fascists who are making life difficult for trans people. The trans people are pretty cool and I'm glad I know them. The fascists can go fall down a deep dark hole.

I knew there was a pair of misogynist on the US men’s hockey team. Sad to discover the team is filled with them. They might say they’re not misogynist, but then they’re just cowards. Our children need to look up to people with good character not just a piece of metal hanging around their necks.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Reposting with alt text. When you call your reps, urge them to take inspiration from this and delay every single Trump thing in Congress, as a start.

On senate letterhead: "December 1, 2009
Dear Republican Colleague:
As we embark on Senate debate of Majority Leader Reid's massive $2.5 trillion health care reform legislation, it is critical that Republican senators have a solid understanding of the minority's rights in the Senate.
I think that we can all agree that the Democrats' bill is the wrong choice for our nation. It will impact one-sixth of our economy, vastly grow the government, and pile tremendous debt on future generations. We are at an important crossroads both for the economy and for the health care system. Therefore, it is imperative that our voices are heard during this debate.
We, the minority party, must use the tools we have under Senate rules to insist on a full, complete and fully informed debate on the health care legislation - as well as all legislation - coming before the Senate. As laid out in the attached document, we have certain rights before measures are considered on the floor as well as certain rights during the actual consideration of measures. Every Republican senator should be familiar with the scope of these rights, which serve to protect our ability to speak on behalf of the millions of Americans who depend on us to be their voice during this historic debate.
I hope you find the attached information helpful. If you have any questions, please contact my office at 202-224-.
Sincerely,
Judd Gregg"

(Edited to fit in alt text) FOUNDATION FOR THE MINORITY PARTY'S RIGHTS IN THE SENATE (Fall 2009)

I. BEFORE MEASURES ARE CONSIDERED ON FLOOR
• New Legislative Day - An adjournment of the Senate, as opposed to a recess, is required to trigger a new legislative day. A new legislative day starts with the morning hour, a 2-hour period... During part of the "morning hour" any Senator may make non-debatable motions to proceed to items on the Senate calendar.
• One Day and Two Day Rules- The 1-day rule requires that measures must lie over one "legislative day" before they can be considered. The 2-day rule requires that IF a committee chooses to file a written report, that committee report...must be available at least 2 calendar days before a bill can be considered on the Senate floor. Senators may block a measure's consideration by raising a point of order if it does not meet one of these requirements.
• "Hard" Quorum Calls -Senate operates on a presumptive quorum of 51 senators...If a quorum is not present, the only motions the leadership may make are to adjourn, to recess under a previous order, or time-consuming motions to establish a quorum that include requesting, requiring, and then arresting Senators to compel their presence in the Senate chamber.

II. DURING CONSIDERATION OF MEASURES IN SENATE
• Motions to Proceed to Measures - most such motions are fully debatable; 60 votes for cloture is needed cut off extended debate.
• Reading of Amendments and Conference Reports in Entirety - In most circumstances, the reading of the full text of amendments may only be dispensed with by unanimous consent. Any Senator may object...
• Senate Points of Order - A Senator may make a point of order at any point he or she believes that a Senate procedure is being violated, with or without cause. After the presiding officer rules, any Senator who disagrees with such ruling may appeal the ruling of the chair-that appeal is fully debatable.

We have to remember that, traditionally, an incoming administration awards the various constituencies that got it elected with some sort of representation. So the tech bros get Elon, anti-vax freaks get RFK Jr, dog killers get Noem, white nationalists get Hegseth, pedophiles get Gaetz...
