Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the House
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
Republican members
Were all full of fear
Knowing the Gaetz report
Soon would be here

Since Donald Trump won the 2024 election, it's more clear than ever that Project 2025 is the agenda. Here's how pro-democracy groups are fighting back.

Comer literally goes on to say “well it would be a problem if” and then lists several things THAT TRUMP HAS DONE IN THE PAST. And tried to keep secret.

"Protect women in sports!" they scream, as they remove women from all leadership positions in Congress.
No women will lead a House committee for the first time in two decades after House Republicans revealed their list of committee leaders for the 119th Congress. No people of color were selected, either.

The 17 standing committees will be dominated by white men when the new Congress is seated on Jan. 3. No people of color were selected, either.

Despite earning $4.4 billion over the last 5 years
Not only did Tesla pay no taxes
It got $1 million in government refunds-while paying its executives $2.5 billion
And though Elon Musk recently had a large tax bill
In many years he paid at a rate of 3.27%
STOP GIVING SUBSIDIES TO BILLIONAIRES

The latest data from NOAA sends a powerful message: November 2024 was the second-warmest month in 175 years of record-keeping, and there is a 99% chance that 2024 will be the hottest year ever recorded. This is a stark reminder of the growing impact of climate change on our planet.

Since Trump was just elected president as an adjudicated rapist and a 4x indicted 34x convicted felon, I think we should empty the prisons and use the savings to end poverty.

The impeachment vote in Korea was a secret ballot. I think that if the US Senate voted that way, Trump would have been convicted after January 6.
