The blue state governors must convene a Conference of Governors in Illinois immediately and set up the firewall to pour sand in the gears of a rogue, fascist and racist federal government that looms over our Democracy.

This must happen soon….

Oh, they've met. They had a big conference call just last week, I believe. They are all coordinating with each other!

Trump is in the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The only question I want answered from Acosta - who is on the list of co-conspirators that got immunity under the deal you signed? We need the full list.

Bette G.'s avatar

I'm sure the Republicans on the committee will be certain NOT to ask anything close to that question, and will jump on the Dems who do ask and try to silence them.

Brian Repko's avatar

They may move it to closed session but we have to know - if not we need to FOIA that list (to be fair I think there are 4 other women that are included and Maxwell claims she is on that list)

Bette G.'s avatar

At this point, I feel the only one they're trying desperately to protect is Trump. I think he was a business partner in the trafficking scheme, not just a "client".

Bette G.'s avatar

Let's hope there are groups with attorneys who will file the FOIA request!

Sue W.'s avatar

They can try. It's coming.

Adam, the gerrymander fight is on. There is a new playbook. The old rules have been struck down by the Supreme Court. We need to change the gears here as fast as possible for deadly preemptive strikes. Newsom has moved out on this already. Who is next? Hochul, where are you? Pritzker, what are you doing? Adam, will you promote this new move?

I’m going to DC again Sat and staying till the 4th. I wish there was a way to get up to the portrait they hung of him and fucking fix it. Just use your imagination on the things it could use.

A giant Sharpie would be appropriate... then again, it would be SAD if somehow it caught fire from a sparkler or something.

An asshole eating weasels…

He axed the vax and research too.

Ooops, here’s the measles.

Note: You passingly mention that in '28, we take on Donnie or his spawn. Donnie is done in '28. (He knows it, which is why he's sucking up all the grift he can try to lay his hands on now.) To change that requires a Constitutional Amendment that will need 2/3 of each house of Congress and 3/4 of all the states (there isn't time), and Donnie to be alive then.

As for the function of politicians (and we'll come back to this later), it is to get re-elected. For the vast majority of them, it has nothing to do with our collective bidding.

Note four: In answer to your question, it's because she's running critical interference for Donnie.

Note seven: Whether or not Republicans lie is not relevant. This is about Donnie. The rest of them assume embarrassingly submissive postures. They have no platform other than pleasing daddy.

Notes nine and 10: Indeed.

Note 13: Wow! Donnie says things that aren't true?! Who saw that coming?

Note 18: Ken Paxton doesn't need to read the Ten Commandments. He needs to read the First Amendment to the Constitution. He's probably still got heel marks from when his ex-wife solved her problem.

"Git em, JB:" Someone at some point is going to incite a revolution. Maybe it'll be JB.

Yes! The northern Governors need to work together….Trump is going to give illegal orders to any Nat Guard units he commands. The only way to stop it is if All the northern Governors say no to the federalizing of their troops- in recognition of that. Trump’s usurping of Governor’s authority over state National Guard units demands a one word answer from all Democratic Governors. ‘Fogetabouit!’ That’s what we want to hear from Governor Pritzer, Hochul and the rest of Democratic Governors too. This is the heart of the Union and it is time to put their foot down. This one act would hamstring the confederate king’s dream of Empire. This would save not just your own freedom. Your friends and neighbors in Canada know that this is the one sure guarantee against threat of invasion. Governors Pritzer, Hochul, we trust you and we know you have it in you. History is calling, answer ; ‘Fogetaboutit!’

Democratic Gov. need to activate their National Guards now to prevent trump from federalizing them.

SHIT HEADS G.O.P. guardians of pedophilics.... REAL PELAU ARSE HOLES... SUE THEM BAGAS..... " When people refuse the cool cynicism of despair. Despair is peddled by the right to convince us that resistance is futile, and it is echoed by too many on the left who would rather sit back and say all is lost. CYNICISM asks nothing of us; HOPE demands everything. When people choose to act rather than surrender, that is what keeps democracy alive " TRUMP'S .G.O.P. guardians of pedophilics...... “SILENCE and EEAR is the TOOLS of a TYRANTS, wielded to suppress independent thought. Instead of silence and fear, let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place. A fire of righteous indignation at ABUSE of POWER. WELA KA HAO....

Note: You literally brought a tear to my eye with this. Don't ask why.

.....

Note four: Which Republicans are interviewing him and why? And I'm sure Maxwell's fellow inmates aren't treating her with much "respect" if you know what I mean.

.....

Note five: Good man. He could have mentioned that he was in combat while every single arresting officer was still shitting in their diapers.

.....

Note seven: Komrade Krasnov and his KKKankles.

.....

Notes ten & eleven: DER TRUMPENFUEHRER.

.....

Note twelve: Garcia, once he's done with this shit, is going to be SOFA KING rich, because, aside from the government, he'll sue all of all of the newspapers and networks and the Alex Joneses out there that have been disparaging him all of this time. SOFA KING rich.

.....

Note fifteen: FUCKING AWESOME

.....

Note eighteen: You know what might be fucking fun? Let's everybody mail a copy of the 10 Commandments, or at least the one about adultery. Oh, and the one about false witness. Oh, and the one about... oh fuck it. Just send them all to Ken Paxton's office, whose mailing address is public knowledge so it's not doxxing:

Attn: Ken Paxton

Office of the Attorney General

PO Box 12548.

Austin, TX 78711

Hey everyone! Adam & Sam ~ thanks for all the news; it's getting REAL heavy out there. Wow! did either of you ever expect to see an American get arrested for their First Amendment Right !! I didn't. We are in full on Dictatorship/Authoritarian mode and it's ok with Republicans. See you at Noon. Thanks for the needed therapy session

Don’t forget about @BetoMedia!

What would I do without you two to make my day?! Thank you for making the news a little more bearable!

Uh, guys? I didn’t expect a happy birthday wish, but damn! Good thing I’m high af for my day, thanks Deadhead OG, coffee and blessed rain in the desert. 75, which is ever amazing to me.

Sad NV lost our Dem Gov but we still have both senators & my congressman. Lombardo will do what’s demanded by the wealthy. Hopefully no concentration camp or gerrymandering

Aviana NW's avatar

There are maps of all the concentration camps in the US - maybe listed under ICE detainment centers?
