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.

Venezuela says it has received $300 million from US oil sale used to prop up currency
Venezuela says it has received $300 million from US oil sale used to prop up currency
Delcy Rodriguez said the sum from a $500 million sale conducted by Washington would be used to 'stabilize' the foreign exchange market.

Sherrill: "We see a POTUS illegally usurping power. He's unconstitutionally enacted a tariff regime to make billions for himself while everyone else's costs go higher. Here we demand people in public service actually serve the public instead of extorting money to benefit themselves & their cronies."

ICE believe they're above the law. A Fed judge just ordered that they cannot deploy chemical agents at peaceful protesters. Again.
Even if all you do is go to a hardware store & get a very good dust mask & goggles, it will help. Also, it'll make you unidentifiable. Like them
