Yes @chrislehmann.bsky.social
Every word in this is precisely what everyone should be saying. Nothing else makes any sense at all. Thank you.

This Veterans Day, we are sharing the words of veterans who are working to impeach and remove this treasonous, tyrannical POTUS.
"As a veteran I swore that oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
There is no dispute that there is an enemy of the Constitution in the Oval Office right now."

This Veterans Day, we extend sincere gratitude to those who have upheld their oath to defend our country. We are veteran-led, but those of us who are civilians are immensely grateful for their service. We are privileged to serve alongside them as we push Congress to honor their oaths and impeach.

No, HHS, menopause does not in fact cause divorce and death, but tell us more about how great you are at women's health. @juliannemcshane.bsky.social and I wrote about how they somehow managed to mess up what should have been good news on HRT with weird claims. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

No, it doesn't kill women or cause divorce.

There's always some Manchin, Schumer, Sinema, Kaine, etc. around to screw everything up. They are the reason we are currently teetering on the precipice, staring into the abyss of total fascism and the end of US democracy.
Their lives are fine, so why should they give a shit about anyone else?

The insurgent Project 2025 Heritage group has proven that it can be done because the fascists have wholly taken over the formerly Republican party. Not overnight, but It didn't even take a considerably long time.
I’d like to thank all the replies telling me that an insurgent group taking over a party and transforming it could never happen.
I stupidly believed all these dumb books chronicling the many times it’s happened before, but you all set me straight.

When politicians crow about working across the aisle in cooperation I always thought they meant for the overall good of the country.
Now I find they mean to employ it for the wholesale screwing of all Americans regardless of party.
Which I foolishly expected only from Republicans.

The Dems sabotaged public trust. Poll after poll suggested most of the blame was on Trump. Last week’s elections suggested the shutdown was a legitimate resistance to illegitimate rule. Pressure was mounting. Rs were sweating. Trump was calling for the end of the filibuster. Then Schumer caved.

Dems who are retiring or otherwise leaving the party could have used the opportunity to help push democratic values through while in the minority and instead chose to screw Democrats. The historical records will have their hands full of treacherous actions on both sides.
The headlines missed it.
The pundits missed it.
But the pattern was right there in the vote:

Is it possible that some assholes don't know they are assholes. Being paid by the people is to be accountable to many differing opinions.
Pay attention. Research,read between the lines, and support midterm candidates who are less likely to get into public office and give their inner asshole freedom.

This is far and away my pettiest Tim Kaine gripe but the Senator’s advance staff always deliver a bottle of Maker’s Mark that is for him only to fundraising events so he doesn’t have to do toasts with the cheap beer and wine the hosts provide and that always really irked me

Lesson learned.We must save ourselves. The People have the power that politicians have surrendered. If we're forced to live with this crap until midterms,we must work to hire stronger democratic representatives.Find candidates who understand that the administration & its enablers must be removed.
