Just because an action is probably hard, or may not succeed, doesn't mean it shouldn't be attempted.
Keep trying to remove him in any way possible again and again. A tide turns eventually. We gain something with each attempt. By giving up in advance, we gain nothing.

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t making nice because she wants to be vice president. She wants the big chair and sees a lane. Her base is people who love Trump’s ideas but not Trump, see Vance as a paid lapdog, and other members of Congress as spineless. For her, it’s worth the gamble. #ProudBlue

🧵 Heads up, everyone.
Tucked into the new funding bill to reopen the government is a single line to poison Americans.
Literally poison us.
While everyone was distracted by the shutdown drama, Trump’s thugs in Congress pulled off one of the most shameless backroom deals.

Everyone will now have to reapply for SNAP.
Don't think for a second that the USDA is going to be able to process 42 million applications in a timely fashion.
That's the whole point.

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.
The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.
Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:
Take a night off.
Go to the movies.
Watch “Nuremberg”.
Your time is coming.
