We can't stop the fascism because Republicans control House & Senate. We MUST do all we can to #VoteBlue in 2026 elections. This is THE WAY to stop it. We can't impeach all these criminals because you need a majority of the House to start impeachment proceedings, then 2/3 of Senate. #Vote them out!
