One of the most frustrating things about Democrats, including Oversight Dems, is they’re not talking about the ongoing Conspiracy against the Constitution https://newrepublic.com/post/217838/todd-blanche-threatens-arrest-democrats #uspol

AOC on Trump Veto Threats: We’re within striking distance of veto overrides. So we can do it the nice way, or we can do it the hard way. I do think that this president does not want to be seen as impotent for the next two years.

So after YOU delivered a Blue Tsumani walloping to the GOP and Trump, did they learn? Not really. They made Jim Jordan Minority speaker of the House. https://thehill.com/homenews/6211341-republicans-elect-jim-jordan-minority-leader/ A reminder he ignored (or covered up?) a hideous sex abuse scandal at OSU, which got brought up when he tried to be Speaker. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/11/jim-jordan-house-speaker-ohio-state-wrestlers-abuse House Republicans banded together to derail attempts to impeach Pete Hegseth. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/11/10/us/hegseth-impeachment-vote-house So between these actions and Stephen Miller, looks like the GOP is all behind racism, war, and covering up sex abuse. So par for the course. Ready to make them pay even more in 2028? #uspol #democracy #epsteinclass #democrats #bluetsunami

"Iran🚨denies any talks. At this pt who'll blink 1st & strike. #Trump says 3rd CSG will be in the region for Iran. That the blockade will continue. They'll strike if needed. They're all "locked & loaded." -Ali "He wouldn’t say flat out what he plans to do with IR, & even if he did -so impulsive & erratic🚨-makes it moot. Of course, all the Gulf Cs want this disaster to END, but this #delusion paired with the seeming desire to at min cont to escalate the econ warfare." -B Erickson #IranWar #USPol

Let's check in on some good news today! California Rep. Robert Garcia: ‘The days of us not fighting back are over’ - it's time to investigate Trump and company and he's not going to be intimidated by Trump's threats. Millions of us weren't intimidated. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/11/08/garcia-days-of-us-not-fighting-back-are-over-01155486 Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania plans to raise minimum wage - and thanks to voters like yourself he has a Democratic majority. https://archive.ph/ZgHIP#selection-1369.0-1401.104 It may seem small, but Democrats plan to make the January 6 memorial more prominent wheras Republicans hid their terrorist attack on America. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/11/09/congress/jan-6-plaques-future-01155916 #uspol #democracy #democrats
