When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!!
This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

Trump could have easily pardoned only those January 6 prisoners convicted of nonviolent crimes, but he chose to also pardon and commute the sentences of rioters who committed violence against police officers — and even far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.

Good morning, Bluesky.
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but even during the darkest of times, it is still so important to seek joy.
Allow yourself to enjoy the little things in life.
The last thing left in Pandora’s box was HOPE.
Never forget that.

One of the first steps in fascism is clipping the wings of the media so they can’t report on what’s actually happening.
