Democrats end House sit-in protest over gun control | CNN Politics
Democrats decided to end their day-long sit-in protest on the House floor over gun control Thursday.

"What can Democrats do?" is the wrong question.
Ask, "What would John Lewis do?"

There's an argument that Trump was constitutionally barred from holding federal office after Jan 6 and therefore all his public acts since then are void. He has spent the last year validating that notion every single day. Letting any of this stand and ~Moving On~ after it's over would be a mistake

Quintessential Epstein Class behavior.
She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Are the cartel drones with us in this room?

As a thought experiment, replace the name "Epstein" with "bin Laden" and imagine the reaction.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick insisted his Epstein connection was “one-and-done.” Records show years of contact.
Joe Perticone looks at Lutnick’s uphill defense and explains why resignation pressure may not matter in today’s Washington.

!!! No explanation except vague special security concerns. No notice to airlines or passengers. If we were going to use military action in Mexico, it would include closing the airport called the “gateway to Mexico.”

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

From an organizational standpoint, I have seen this in Wisconsin, and practically you will need more large scale election observer training. And the other issue is sending election observers out to early voting sites will be necessary. The tendency is to focus on same day election.
My expectation for this is they'll make a big show of rolling out the goon squad outside a handful of locations, the states will seek and likely get emergency injunctions, and meanwhile the whole spectacle will only motivate way more people to show up and vote in defiance than are scared away.
I understand folks are scared but I want you to think about the mechanics of this.
There are more polling places (>100k) than ICE and CBP agents combined, so they can only pick a few districts to try to intimidate.
Now what happens when cell phone footage of that goes online in the early morning?

This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.

Hey, #Lawsky, is this a paradox or just a conflict of interest?
Suppose I'm Bondi or Pirro; if I were to bring this case against my boss and win, doesn't that void my authority to bring the case in the first place, since I would not have been nominated by a person with the power to appoint me?
