Well maybe the all talk and no action should do some resisting. Al Green acted; he should be a model for the wimps that sit in their congressional offices and let this ignorant, traitorous dolt alone with his billionaire lap dogs destroy our country.
This is embarrassing, but not for the ones called into the principal's office.

Last week, Republicans voted to gut Medicaid and take away healthcare from 8-year-old kids like William.
Don’t let them lie to you. This is what they voted for.
But we still have a chance to stop it.

JD Vance is embarrassingly unqualified to sit at the table for any kind of diplomacy
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

The GOP wants to TAKE AWAY healthcare from 72 MIL people! This will lead to delayed diagnoses, untreated illnesses, and unnecessary deaths.
All to fund tax breaks for the rich.
These are the same folks that have been trying to pass legislation that forces women to give birth.
