Hakeem Jeffries is threatening Congressmembers who don't back him for Speaker, but those members don't need him if they have your support.
If you can, donate to every member saying they won't support Hakeem. Give them the support they need to be independent: secure.actblue.com/donate/not-h...

We should be asking why Congressmembers representing AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, MA, MD, MO, MN, NC, NY, OH, OK, OR, SC, TX, VA, WA, WI, & UT—all of which have transit projects planned—are sitting around waiting for the Trump admin to do something.

Massie wanted the GOP on record blocking the removal before January. After January, Hegseth's gone. He knows it. They know it. That's hopefully the point - forcing GOP Congressmembers to explicitly align themselves, over and over again, to Trump, Hegseth, and others.

Agreed. I want Congressmembers and Senators paid $1mil a year each.
Then, if there is even a WHIFF of insider trading, or other money based crimes, it's much easier for them to not cry poverty in defense of themselves.

It occurs to me that Congress can really aggressively fuck over DoJ by identifying the most essential personnel to defending tyrannical policies and dragging them into hearings constantly.
This is an extremely hollowed out organization already actively collapsing in some places.

The same GOP Congressmembers who have enabled so much Trump wrongdoing remain committed to MAGA extremism. Not one Republican joined Tom Massie to replace the most incompetent Defense Secretary in American history. I was pleased to do so.

Read this powerful article by @andreapitzer.bsky.social , then call your congressmembers and demand they dismantle DHS
I wrote for @ms.now about Stephen Miller's new gig and how a US concentration camp system you've never heard of underlines the importance of dismantling DHS.
(For the record, I tried to get the headline "Miller's Crossing" for this, but got shot down.)

Congressmembers have returned to the Capitol following the recent midterms and are poised to pass the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would raise the Pentagon budget to an unheard of $1.5 trillion in a lame duck session.

As Speaker, she did nothing about ending individual stock trading by congressmembers claiming we live in a "free-market," and that congressmembers have every right to participate. She did nothing to end insider trading.
Those making the laws should not be allowed to trade on them.
