It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Bay City Rollers? Is it really too much to ask?? Actually, I haven’t understood one bit of pop culture since before that Kardashian guy.

It’s spy balloon from Texas. Oklahoma has been doing more really stupid things than Texas lately, and they want to figure out how to regain first place!

Yes. I thought that he was certainly not the worst person to be in that job and is obviously qualified.

Not necessarily, but very few people elsewhere in the federal government are in a position where they could be ordered to shoot at their fellow citizens.

Can't we make the exact same claim (oath to constitution vs. the commander in chief) for many others currently in government, many of whom have sold their soul? Do you believe the oath of these military leaders is inherently more reliable?

Tomorrow, I, along with Senator Kaine will be forcing a vote to block President Trump’s use of our Armed Forces to conduct strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea.

Congress has not authorized these strikes. They are illegal and risk dragging America into another war.

Shutdown or not, the oath stands. The Constitution demands it. Federal law allows any judge, clerk, or notary to swear in Adelita Grijalva. 420,000 died stopping unchecked speech. We don’t wait for ceremony. We honor legacy. We resist silence. Let her take the oath. Let her serve. Let her speak.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.
