#Liz48 is what I've come up with. Please share this.
The #Liz48 Plan: This Is How We Remove Them—Legally, Quickly, and Nonviolently

In which the brilliant @mollymckew.bsky.social dismantles the "peace plan" proposed by Trump's overmatched emissary, which, go figure, is nothing more than capitulation to the Kremlin.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.
