We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

While we “invest” $100 billion in the completely unproductive pursuit of removing people and terrorizing their American children.
EU investing €546 billion for high speed rail by 2040
E.g. Lisbon to Warsaw, from 38 hours today to 12 hours
Pricing to compete with low cost flights
Reduce emissions by 80%
Jokes on them, they don't have Brexit sovereignty 🤷♂️

Using troops to interfere with the polls is part of the game plan for 2026 and 2028 and beyond. Eyes open.
If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.
