Dem reps HAVE to be on the front line. But they can NOT get arrested due to risk of being in lock-up (up to a week+). During that time, they may miss votes that may be critical (no proxy voting) as republicans will rush votes to the floor. People will need to surround & shield them during protests.

This cabinet and the administration overall is comprised of the most opportunistic sycophants. Bernie was right yesterday when he said the mainstream media will 'Entertain' us to death. First they came for the immigrants but I was too busy watching football, TV, listening to my fav pop star etc.

It seems a curse that we are experiencing a variation of the once charming affectation, "May you live in interesting times."

TAKE ACTION: NO CUTS TO MEDICAID!!! go.caringacross.org/a/no-cuts-me... SIGN & SHARE! This is a direct attack on disabled people & people who are poor (and thus ALL marginalized communities) I am scared right now. Please please take action. #disability #medicaid #resist

CALL YOUR REPS! Honestly without the citizenry exercising their civic duty and actively being engaged, I can't see the US ever halting this descent into madness. I talk to my brothers, sisters, friends etc. All, while upset about current affairs have not made a single call. I am just crushed.

Senate Democrats have been filibustering all yesterday and into today. Right NOW, House Democrats are holding a press conference introducing The Taxpayer Data Protection Act. While they appear to be trying, we still need to be calling our representatives on both sides. Have you made those calls?

I have severe ME/PEM which is one of many illnesses that Sars-Cov-2 can cause. It has destroyed my life. it is not hyperbole when I say this. This is David Putrino, a top researcher and advocate who tirelessly seeks to understand chronic disease. Please read this thread he posted.

There's a 50-State capitol protest scheduled this Wednesday at 12pm. I only heard of this yesterday. I expect this will be the first of many as activism starts to spread. A kind soul created posters for all 50 states and has made them freely available here postimg.cc/gallery/cxNY...

The look on Musks face as he did this. It's a look of contempt, of triumph, of spite.

Project 2025 is in full swing. Doublethink & Doublespeak are actually happening. Our unalienable rights to the pursuit of life, liberty, & happiness are being challenged. It is profound & macabre. This is a collective 'Fight or Flight' moment that will determine our future as a nation.

Oh hey! Orange man golfed today. trumpgolftrack.com

This is terrifying.

Watching the various heads talk about deportations and now, wanting to use Gitmo as an offshore holding area (???) for deported immigrants? So... a concentration camp?

Please call your Representative and let them know your thoughts about what's happening, specific issues, concerns, all of it! You might think it has no effect but if they're getting inundated all the time, they WILL be aware. MAKE THEM SQUIRM. www.house.gov/representati... 5calls.org

Watching a clip of Trump speaking about the DC plane crash from the resolute desk and I must say, he is looking extra Oompa Loompa.

Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota) trying to get a Gotcha in on Patel and again, This tactic will NOT work with the GOP. They are sociopaths who can rationalize in real time. They're on Team trump. Period. Democratic leadership. You are failing the American people because you are trying to be reasonable.

Did you know that Ted Cruz has a podcast? /s

Ted Cruz now speaking to Kash Patel and... No, just no.

Sen John Kennedy (R-Louisiana) Nothing to add as to what his line of questioning to Patel is about as I find myself screaming and throwing objects at my monitor as I really do not like Kennedy. However too be fair he is asking Patel not to "burn down the agency".

To be fair, Kash Patel is a very skillful speaker even if he is the epitome of a sycophant and sociopath. Our society prioritizes status quo, power, wealth & fame/notoriety rather than principle and honor. Can you imagine if Patel and other like him would use their skills for actual good.

Ashley Moody, Former state AG of FL and now Junior Senator of FL (with a large confident smile) also lockstep along with her GOP colleagues absolutely glazing Kash Patel. It is terrifying to see so many of these people who on paper, have stellar bona fides so easily toss morality out the window.

Adam Schiff (D-Ca) trying to catch Patel in a lie but, and Dems need to realize this, you CAN NOT play GOTCHA with these people. You cannot make good faith arguments with SOCIOPATHS. Dems MUST realize this and start to seriously FIGHT back with every tool that they have.

Kash Patel is on record having been a guest on so many of the top right-wing podcasts and the like saying one thing but... during this confirmation hearing, when asked about his many publicly stated statements, has outright lied (skillfully) and the GOP will rationalize all of this as being ok.

Sen Katie Brit (R-Alabama) absolutely glazing Patel now with a large insane smile throughout her verbal polishing. The GOP will vote all of these appointments into these positions. Regardless of who they actually are. If Trump has put forth their names, they will be voted in.

Sen Peter Welch (D-Vermont) trying to get Patel to acknowledge that Biden won the 2020 election and Patel (skillfully) refusing to do so. This will never end.

Eric Schmitt now wishing Kash Patel all the best after imploring him to go after Biden and all the dems in his administration who spent the past 4 years vilifying and going after Donald Trump. Because Donald trump is orange Jesus.

Sen Eric Schmitt (R Missouri) asking Kash Patel about Hunter Bidens laptop. It's so hard to acknowledge reality (even when it is slapping you in the face) when it is so ridiculously dumb.

I have watched so many of these confirmation hearings and or subcommittee hearings and the like over the past 9 years. It is extremely rare when anyone (mostly on the GOP side) has ever faithfully answered a Yes or No question without waffling. This cannot be considered normal or appropriate.

Watching the Kash Patel confirmation hearing and wow, this cabinet when finalized is going to be the worst Cabinet EVER, helmed by insane power mad sycophants who have successfully failed upwards and been rewarded their whole lives.

I like diversity and inclusion. I don't want my alphabet soup to only have vowels.
