I packed this poem w/rhythm & rhyme so Americans of all ages won’t forget the bloody attack launched on our Capitol four years ago on #January6. Please share w/young people who might not remember.

The Capitol Coup
by Mimi Plevin-Foust

He built the bomb.
He lit the match.... (1/10)

Klobuchar: "I remember Bondi saying, 'the president is the most transparent president in history.' I wish I said, Well then why doesn't he just release the Epstein files?"

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Congressman Jared Moskowitz @repmoskowitz.bsky.social · 12h

Week two of the shutdown and the House still hasn’t shown up for work. Federal workers and service members are working without pay, yet Congress gets paid for inaction.

So I’m proposing a House Rules change: stay in session until the shutdown ends. No paid vacation.

Congrats, MAGA, you’ve owned the Libs—and all it’s cost you is a functioning government, a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, affordable groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing.

Congratulations, Trump Supporters, You've Owned the Libs

Well, Trump Supporters, as a member of the woke radical Left, it kills me to say this, but you win.

Nothing to see here, just Trump going for his second “yearly” checkup this year.

Anyone ready to admit that something is wrong with POTUS yet?
