Isn’t this already against the law/ violation of the Constitution?

Hey @jillwine-banks.bsky.social , ask all your followers to alert their Congresspeople to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15. Congress, without the President's approval, can have the "Militia" (AKA Military) remove the new insurrectionists. Congress contact info at https://congress.gov. We need Congress' act'n

It probably won't pass, but hopefully it will get some attention in the red states. Dems should make the administration the "boogeymen who are coming after you."

Can’t find the eggs in the fridge right now (eyes getting tired) but I forgot to mention one ad which caught my attention because it seemed out of place at the time. It was for a special front door made of super strong material. Local ad, name not clear. Heard it twice! OH THAT Door 🚪

History reminders were all over the news today. Woodrow Wilson was a good example of what used to be called Isolationism. It’s SO easy to criticize; open your brains people! 🧠

I'm frustrated that there weren't more protections established to limit the power of the President while Biden was in office after we learned during Trump's first term how easily the role could be abused.

And which Republican MAGAts will defeat.

ianxz.bsky.social•16 days ago

Dems need to propose more bills that shame Republicans for accepting Trump's lawlessness - to make them publicly assert their acceptance of crime,

Impeachment for crimes already rejected by courts, for example.

LOL. How is it going to become law?

Introducing go-nowhere legislation is performative nonsense. Democrats should throw sand into the machine. Instead, no unanimous consent on ANYTHING in the Senate. Obstruct everything. We need to be fighting an existential threat as an insurgency. Act like it. The duty of an opposition is to oppose.

Jill, why were we not better prepared for this hostile takeover since Project 2025 was published during the election???

blbarden.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yes, more wasted efforts on things that cannot get passed into law. I would not call this action that we need.

Is there a real risk that Musk completes the coup and pushes Trump out.
All politicians seem really scared of Musk and they will side with the biggest stash of cash.
If the Constitution doesn’t mean anything, why would the only natural-born US citizen can be president provision hold?
