DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

I also believe states and cities are going to need to fortify locally for a few years, until we pull the claws out of our flesh and move on from these parasites

At this point the most valuable thing is probably food and water without millions of plastics, not outsourced by a government that clearly does not care about its people. Essentially Pepsi and Coke and Pfizer and Lockheed own the government right now lol lead by an old lobbyist with an old book

Kaycie @brnteswfty.bsky.social · 17d

I’ve been furloughed twice, laid off twice, fired once, and had an exemployer spend their own money to “get my posts taken down” after the fired me in #businessfirst Virginia.

Eyes up, folks. They want you to be scared and worry. Don’t flinch. It’ll be okay.

Kaycie @brnteswfty.bsky.social · 17d

And the stalemating game that started with the Tea Party against Obama and actually, as I recall, brought people like AOC into the arena.

Republicans want us to believe that the Democrats, who couldn’t even raise the minimum wage when they held the House and Senate, are somehow so powerful that they can shutdown the government when they hold no power?

They’re are getting bullied by Jeffries & Schumer? Please 😂
