Trump encouraged his crowd to violently attack protesters at his rally in Georgia. "She's pushing them around, slapping the guy around." Security guards can remove someone from an event but verbally disrupting a rally is not a crime. The source audio is poor on the clip.

Judge Michael Luttig warned about a possible scheme not to seat elected Democrat members of Congress after the November mid-term elections. Judge Luttig was given information by Congressional insiders that a scheme not to seat duly elected Congress members is being seriously considered.

Judge Michael Luttig warned about a possible scheme not to seat elected Democrat members of Congress after the November elections. We call on Congress to state that they would never support such a plan. Share these videos. Contact Congress. More publicity = more pressure to adhere to standards.

Joplin-Area Democratic Socialists of America are holding a protest on Oct. 19th in response to a sitting council member's suggestion that the Joplin PD enter a 287 (g) agreement to work with I.C.E. Come let the Joplin City Government know that we don't approve of partnering with I.C.E.?

Josh Turek: We need to have campaign finance reform to get dark money out of politics. I want to sponsor a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. We can have oligarchy or we can have democracy. We can't have both.

Our elections are under attack. Efforts to undermine trust in our elections, weaken voting rights, & make it harder for people to have their voices heard are occurring across the country. That's why we need to show our collective power & show up to the polls this November.

Do you know what kind of fliers they were circulating after Jake Lang came to Michigan? KKK flyers. Hate all comes from the same place. It's up to us to unite to fight against all its forms.

thebackbonenetwork.substack.comBurlison’s Health-Care Plan Is Neither Healthy nor Caring for MissouriEric Burlison’s bill promises “choice” and lower costs. In practice, it risks replacing dependable health coverage with tax-advantaged accounts that help most when a family already has money to spare.
