If you live in seattle you NEED to do this.
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Yep. How many MSM reporters/anchors have even highlighted the fact that granting immunity to a president for criminal acts runs 100% counter to his/her central obligation, which is "to take care that the laws be faithfully executed"?
The SCOTUS majority is corrupt as hell.

There has never been any question about this, it has been Johnson's stated position this whole time, and it's what House rules and precedents unambiguously require. Seating new members takes automatic priority over any other business. They've only been delaying by not doing any business at all.
BREAKING via Punchbowl
“Speaker Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) before the House votes on a government funding package, according to sources familiar with the planning.“

I wrote about the "Appeasement Eight" Senate Democrats getting the party to fold to Trump in the government shutdown, and why it shows that pro-democracy Americans badly need a real opposition party, full of leaders who recognize the United States isn't a normal rule of law democracy anymore.

This simply happened and no one in the media speculated why the President would do this or what it means about his involvement
“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

Just a reminder, Trump said gasoline is $2 a gallon now so if you’re paying more at the pump they are ripping you off, skip it and keep driving until you find a nice $2 a gallon MAGA station. Especially if you have one of those big dumb pickup trucks the lil’ dick dudes drive.

I turned on the TV just in time to hear this, and it struck me as both defensive and tone deaf.
Tim Kaine is on MSNBC accusing Katy Tur of "overdramatizing" the way he and some other Democrats caved. "This is by far a minor-league issue within the Democratic Party," Kaine said.
He's completely out of touch, or just lying.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

I’m paying $700 a month For my health policy through the ACA. I have a $3200 deductible and a $9600 out of pocket. $50 to see a doctor and $150 a specialist. That is insane. My husband, retired, has Medicare, I’m not 65 yet. I’d rather spend the money going to Italy and see a doctor there.

They do not have a plan, they’ve never had a plan. They’ve also never had the votes to repeal the ACA which is *OVERWHELMINGLY* popular, nor have they been able to get the Supreme Court to overturn it, so instead they’ve just shut down the entire government to try forcing Dems to stop funding it.
