Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

Patel’s confirmation marks a turning point. open.substack.com/pub/onoffens...
The politicization of federal law enforcement is complete.
Kash Patel, a Trump loyalist with a history of undermining democracy, now leads the FBI. Here’s what that means.

It's not just a coup.
It's a coup being executed by white supremacists and Christofascists.
And Darren Beattie isn't merely some new minor functionary—he's been given what's considered one of the ten most powerful jobs at Foggy Bottom.
He wants us to abandon Ukraine to Russia and Taiwan to China.

Wait til the people crediting Trump’s trade war threat for getting Mexico to send 10000 troops to the border find out Biden actually did that in 2021. (@Claudiashein, well played 👀 )

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

This is a crisis response app. If a diplomat is in danger, for any reason, this sends their whereabouts to diplomatic security in country and DC.
Because nothing says we defend our citizens like leaving them stranded.

USAID employees overseas are no longer able to access their government security app, which gives them this error code (images provided to me by USAID worker)

Doctors Whose Licenses Were Revoked, Suspended Named In Pro-RFK Jr. Letter To Senate
The letter was meant to lend credibility to Kennedy’s nomination, which has faced strenuous opposition from experts due to his decades of anti-vaccine activism.

Hey @schiff.senate.gov you seem to think we need a narrator. We don't. We need you to wield the very real power you have in service of us, The People. I get that you're not in the majority. But you still have power! Use it or we're going to take it back.
Tonight Donald Trump fired dozens of prosecutors at the DC U.S. Attorney's office and agents at the FBI.
Another Friday Night Massacre, as the President removes those loyal to the constitution.
And installs those loyal to him.

The Dems need a continuous campaign. If you agree watch the video. I’ve realized the project I’ve worked on for the past 20 years can power that continuous campaign. Please share. youtube.com/watch?v=IOCV...
