Why aren’t the Senate Democrats doing anything with this?
Article I, Section 5 bars either chamber of Congress from adjourning for more than three days without the other's consent.

Coordinating to block elected representation through adjournment is a coup.

On the eve of his second election — on October 31, 1936 — FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.

This is entirely unacceptable.
Our own government is turning against us.
Time to rise up.
Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

The Real Bill de Blasio Has Something to Say

Gee, this doesn’t sound like a move in advance of a military coup expected to bring massive unrest and violence at all. 🙄

This is EXACTLY what’s wrong with our politics and government today.
These shitbags are the people who brought us the traitor Fetterman.
These are the people who should be banned from campaigns.
My latest article exposes the political consulting firm that turned the Bernie movement into a $134M cash cow
"Firms like Middle Seat build myths. They provide a costume and a template for candidates to cosplay as populist change-makers, even when their records tell another story."

Trumpeter Oswald 'Baba' Brooks was musical arranger for both Duke Reid and King Edwards in the early '60s. Sadly due to an injury he had to retire from playing in 1967.

Here he is leading a beautiful ska in 1964...
