House Republicans signal support for proposal to ban bathroom access for 1st transgender member.

They can’t seem to govern their way out of a paper bag, and with major issues facing Americans, THIS is what they come up with?

Bless your heart, Joe, but it seems to me that it’s too little and way too late.

I wrote this the other night in my newsletter, and wanted to share these words, here: "The most important thing is not to let Donald Trump take away your sense of power as an American...We did not quit during Trump’s first four years in office & we are not going to quit now."

Russia did exactly this to HRC in 2016, aiming to suppress her vote, and probably did. Musk no doubt did suppress Harris voting as well with these demotivation techniques. This should be illegal.

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).

Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.

I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.
