I don't think they are breeding division. They haven't changed my opinion about anything.

Yep! Watched a few podcasts where they've talked about what they've found. Makes me even more mad that the Dems couldn't bother! Hope it makes a difference!

She should have pushed for a recount of saying states. Words do nothing now.

This screenshot is probably what you should send your congress person in reply to the next fundraising text or email.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

This is Trump’s shutdown.

They are Trump’s tariffs.

It is Trump’s economy.

It will be Trump’s recession.

I just set up a monthly recurring donation. It doesn't have to be big. If we all chipped in, even just $5 a month, that would make a huge impact!

It’s no accident that Senator Wyden cannot get the documents he needs to follow the Epstein money.

Bissent is throwing every barrier in the way.

The shutdown, all of this… they are all distractions to deflect from THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

I don't know much about this, but if it's legit, why are blue state governors not all over it? We may not win, but let's not just hand everything to this administration on a platter!

Trump needs to be investigated - and we don't need Congress or the DOJ to do that. New from @stevenstrauss.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/state-comm...

It’s Time for the States to Start Investigating Trump

Democratic-led state governments can hold the aspiring autocrat’s feet to the fire.

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Khanna: "We have to understand how abnormal this is. You don't mock someone and put a video out about how they look. You don't ever mock people's ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?"

Went camping at Timothy Lake every summer as a kid. Haven't been back in so very long. Need to be more intentional... Great pics and sounds like a great weekend!

This shouldn’t matter. But also - it can’t only matter when it’s not right-wing violence.
