Here's the thing: Any legislation that's worth passing will be vetoed by an insanely angry Trump, and you won't have 290 votes to override it You know what you CAN do with just 218 votes? Impeach
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Nothing can be done without accountability. Nothing. There were no consequences for the war on terror’s transgressions and look where that got us. There were no real consequences for an armed attempted overthrow of the government and look where that got us.

"The votes aren't there" is cowardice masked as savviness. There has to be accountability for their crimes. The House has a duty to make the case here and if some GOP senators want to weasel out, make them own that vote. Don't let pundits and "strategists" talk you out of doing your damn job.

Consultant: Kamala, we need you to placate the base by acknowledging their desire for investigations and accountability, BUT we're not doing that, so make it sound weak and non-committal to keep your wealthy donors on board Kamala: Okay, how did I do Consultant: That was PERFECT

This is highly suggestive of a senior government officer on the take. “Hegseth reported at least $3.1mn in cash, retirement investments and bitcoin in his newly released 2025 annual financial disclosure. One bank account held more than $1mn, compared with a normal $15,001–$50,000 range for an

I know there’s a lot going, but 19 Republican AGs have said—in writing!—that pro-choice speech should be criminalized. Thats a Big Fucking Deal and it blows my mind that more people aren’t talking about it

Another thing to note: The internal investigation finished in under a month. Because of the SPOG contract, It takes SPD up to TWO YEARS to fire cops with nearly the same evidence of criminal behavior.
The ex-girlfriend of a Mulkiteo cop found her younger sister's nudes on his phone. Now he's facing a criminal investigation.

Gothamist has now picked up the story, noting activists put up flyers outside the home of killer cop Conrado Abreu-Gerez. They confirmed to Gothamist that they were arrested by NYPD’s warrant squad, which loves busting down doors in early morning raids to terrorize. gothamist.com/news/a-kille...
Two activists with New York Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression (@nyaarpr) were arrested at their homes in the early hours on Oct. 20. Activists were unclear of what happened. I did some digging, and this looks to be a case of NYPD abuse of authority and political intimidation. 🧵

The abundance crowd who looks to land use and regulatory reform as the main tools necessary to create more affordable housing love to point to anything goes Houston as an example of a city that does it right. And yet at the median, high-priced Seattle is *more* affordable than Houston. Hmm.
Median rent as a share of median income of renter households in major U.S. metros, 2010 vs. 2024. Minneapolis is lowest on the list, at 29%, down from 30.4% in 2010. www.artio.so/dataviz/page...

#205/2026 Mayor Matthew Bianchini [R-NJ] lunged at and angrily threatened that he was "f*cking getting" one of his constituents during a town hall meeting and had to be physically restrained by others in the room. Republicans always seem to resort to violence as a first resort.

Yesterday in #Burien, #ICE agents were observed using AR-15-style weapons during the abduction of a community member. Today, they pointed a pistol at a rapid response volunteer, who had been observing from over 20ft away. #ICE is quickly becoming more violent www.facebook.com/share/p/18wA...

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.
