From Rep. Simon (CA-12) when asked why she has not forced a vote via Rule IX.
We guess it's nice that she is willing to toe the line for Rep. Jeffries, but she's free to use Rule IX at any time.

This condescending assumption that the cost of living is all Americans care about.
Is it partly a tell? That the elites are trying to squeeze the rest of us so hard that we can't fight back on core issues like fascism, economic justice, protecting the vulnerable, lifting up the oppressed...?

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.
the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

All you need to know to realize “Heritage American” is racist bullshit is those who use the term don’t include Black descendants of enslaved people. (Which I say as someone whose ancestry here traces to the 1600s and includes a signer of the Declaration of Independence and a Revolutionary War hero.)
For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.
