I like the idea of a #PurpleCaucus made up of senators and representatives declaring themselves:

Independents

Even a small number, working together, could shift votes and make both right and left come toward the center.

Their platform would be to promote what the majority of Americans want.

Every single Democrat in Congress should’ve already had a post up by now about the Trump admin approving a Qatari air base inside the US.

I saw one interaction video where the ICE goon showed someone a social media page and asked “Is this you?”

The person said “Yes” and was immediately taken into custody.

Tell them NOTHING, answer NOTHING!

Sounds reasonable for states that still use voting machines.

Our state is 100% mail-in since 2011. Machines count the ballots. The paper copies, which are signature verified, are maintained for any recounts. We can check online to see our ballot was counted. It’s awesome.

No lines!

More (77,935,722) voted for someone other than Tangerine Palpatine than for him (77,302,580). Many abstained.

Republicans in Congress are more unpopular every day, and their surrender of power has been a huge failure of constitutional checks & balances.

The people must take action

Fresh out of dangerous criminals, ICE goons now prey on working people who are easy to target.

No wonder they don’t show their faces

A bloody shame

Republican Senators… some of who are medical doctors, you did this to your country.

For violating your Hippocratic Oath, you should loose all license to practice medicine.
