Hey, what's the fuss? They were just spitballing.

#VoteBlue
We stop the insanity or no one does--certainly not Congress or SCOTUS.

Keep in mind that Brooks has always been a conservative and was a Republican until Trump.

"Supreme Court conservatives poised to further gut the Voting Rights Act."

When do this country's leaders accept their oaths of office and act responsibly for the nation's good? GOP legislative cowards and SCOTUS enablers reveal the worst in themselves while abandoning America.

#VoteBlue if you still can.

Bernie doesn't get it. If Trump can create enough civil unrest with his military invasions, he can declare martial law and suspend the Constitution. No need to read it then. It's simple, really, Bernie.

"Portland--every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store--there are very few of them left--but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

One thing we can all do: Call or email our GOP legislative cowards and give them an earful. I call my coward, Jack Bergman, weekly. I remain civil to his interns, stating that his job is to represent us, not Trump. One call means nothing, of course, but thousands, if not millions, of calls do.

Call your GOP legislative cowards and give them an earful. Do it often. #VoteBlue as soon as you can. Start there.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

"Obviously as part of its galaxy-brained strategy to 'win' the ongoing government shutdown, Senate Republicans finagled the filibuster rules in order to confirm more than a hundred administration appointees, including Walker’s."
--Esquire

Rules getting in the way? Change them.
