My quote of the day

The sole and basic source of our strength is the solidarity of workers, peasants and the intelligentsia, the solidarity of the nation, the solidarity of people who seek to live in dignity, truth, and in harmony with their conscience.

Pete Hegseth Calls For Steep Cuts To Number Of Steps In AA Recovery

The remarkable thing about Hands Off South East Wisconsin in MKE was the number of people who said this was the first time they had attended a protest rally.

Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

Now, we must expand that idea to all public colleges & universities.

People have been asking for action items. Yes!

There is one very important action for everyone for the next 10 days: Demand your Senators bring the Senate to a halt. Maximal obstruction.

The bad NIH director nominee, Jay Bhattacharya, will likely be voted on the week of Mar 25th. (see below)

That gives us abt 10 days to yell at Democratic Senators and tell them to bring the Senate to a halt by objecting to all future unanimous consent agreements.

Ordered further, That at 5:30 p.m., the Senate vote on confirmation of the Phelan nomination, followed by confirmation of the nomination of Christopher Landau, of Maryland, to be Deputy Secretary of State. Ordered further, That if any nominations are confirmed during Monday’s session, the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table and the President be immediately notified of the Senate’s actions.
