The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

Heads up Chicago!
While the National Guard is probably going to spend some time spreading mulch around federal buildings, there will be more armed kidnappers with badges than usual in town.
These resources will be needed by someone.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

I mean this is the problem, the lesson from the 25 hour speech was to not give an inch, and within 10 seconds Senate Democrats... gave an inch
Immediately afterward, Senator Risch brings up the confirmation of big toilet guy and former acting AG Matthew Whitaker to be ambassador to NATO.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

What Republicans are pushing here is not a continuing resolution. In this case, C-R stands for Complete Resignation.
Republicans are ceding more discretion to two billionaires to decide what does and does not, get funded in their states.
It is a power grab CR. I will vote NO.

1. Impoundment is illegal
2. Why would Dems approve funding legislation that Trump can unilaterally veto? What's the point of having a Congress at all if the president controls the purse strings?

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Hey Democrats, it’s a bar fight. Defeating Trumpism/MAGA and defending democracy, decency, the Constitution, and the rule of law is a bar fight. Put away your PowerPoints, put away your Robert’s Rules of Order.

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now.
Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.
I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.
Get local media there.
Make it real.
