He wants to be able to declare war (which he can do without Congress if they aren’t in session) so he can invoke wartime privileges.

What are insiders saying behind the scenes and will they ever grow, er, gather the courage to speak publicly?

There were two choices. One was brilliant and capable, and supported poc, women & lower income brackets. Then there was a fascist who wants to wipe Gaza off the map. People “couldn’t” vote for the brilliant and capable choice because they “despaired of the whole system”? And where did that get us?

💯 And it’s an army which is better funded and the Marines and which hasn’t sworn an oath to the Constitution

I’d bet on the Heritage Foundation, but yes

It’s almost as if… no, it couldn’t be… that some of those vocal protests last year that were clearly well-organized yet no one would name the organizers… Project 2025-funded?

And without health insurance, once the BBB kicks in

Unfortunately, I think you are very right. These are dark times

They don't need MD. They have / are getting what they need. Example: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I'm not saying it can't be changed or stopped, but that window is narrowing. And to say there isn't a problem is incredibly naive

“Elections” will happen the same way they have in Russia & Hungary. Meaning the appearance of elections but not actually open & fair. How? Voter suppression, gerrymandering & MAGA as heads of election boards. It’s all been put into place over the last few years. P2025 has been playing the long game

In a normal cycle, yes. We are passed that now. They do not care what the law says; they're doing whatever they want to, anyway.

I don't think enough people were paying attention to that part. ICE, a private military, is now more funded than the U.S. Marines.

I hope so, but the vast impact of this bill won't hit until after the midterms. By design

Joe, anyone can yell anything. Mamdani has said he doesn’t use that language but isn’t running to curb someone else’s free speech. I thought you Libertarians were big on things like freedom, even if you don’t like what’s being said. Interesting, where you chose to draw lines

When has Mike Lee ever been principled? He is a horrible person

Welcome Joe.You’ll find Democrats are also freedom loving, we just want EVERYONE to be free!

EXACTLY. All these people talking protest "strategy" and "taking a break" and "don't give him what he wants" are speaking from pure privilege. This is not a game

The GOP is far from panicking. They just passed a budget that will decimate many of their constituents and districts, all while chanting “USA! USA!”. These aren’t people who are worried about midterms. It should cause us to wonder why.
