A whistleblower has officially notified Tulsi Gabbard that if her office doesn’t respond by Friday, February 6th, he’s heading to Congress on the 9th. And if he goes, he plans to give an unclassified briefing laying out her conduct and the intelligence concerns behind it.

Shame on Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyoming), who blocked the Senate from even taking up a resolution to hold the DOJ accountable for failing to follow the law and fully release the Epstein files. Wyoming, call your senator.

In 2017 Trump lost popular vote, so created a Commission to find illegal noncitizen voting. It disbanded after a year w/ NOTHING. In 5 YEARS since 2020, they’ve found NOTHING. In 2024, Trump claims landslide victory, so NO FRAUD. But Bannon claims they MUST “guard polls” w/ ICE. SUE NOW! STOP THIS!
I hope every Democratic member of the House and Senate reads this and factors it into whatever funding bill gets agreed to. We have seen what ICE can do to U.S. Citizens in the streets, imagine what they will do at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The worst part of the breathless reporting about Trump’s statements is the complete disregard for the heroic and successful defense of democracy by grassroots activists and everyday Americans who give a damn. They are entirely absent from the conversation about Trump’s delusional fantasies.

We all need to do something: write postcards to get out the vote, show up at protests, call and email all three of our reps, using 5Calls.org. This is a long haul fight that we are in and every little bit we do helps.
From Robert Hubbell:
This will stop when enough of us say, “No.”
Thanks to the people of Minnesota, we are moving closer to the day when we redeem democracy for our generation and re-establish the rule of law for the next.
Stay strong and be safe!
