#republicans created this faux patriot, probably insurrectionist is a stain on #Congress. But, it's what #Alabama wants. They must absolutely #hate the #military to keep this man in office.
Update: Alabama has filed its replies in the redistricting stay requests at #SCOTUS, so the briefing is now completed. A decision could come at any time.

It's great to see these civil cases proceed ESPECIALLY since at the time this was happening there were NO Arrests!
"No arrests have been made in connection with the threats against the women, and almost no one has been held accountable for threatening election workers nationwide, as Reuters reported on Sept. 8. After the news organization reported the continuing harassment of election officials and their families in June, the U.S."

Thanks to Ron DeSantis’s education policies, the state is seeing an unprecedented exodus of teachers, professors, and college students.
Folks in Florida will soon be subsisting on dog food and crackers. #RonDeathSantis #Florida #GOP #FascismSucks

When I ran for president, I called for a modern-day Climate Corps to put a new generation of Americans to work conserving and restoring our lands and waters, and addressing climate change.
We just made good on that promise.
If Tommy Tuberville forces Chuck Schumer to keep the senate in session through this weekend, maybe fellow senators will beat Tuberville's ass with bars of soap wrapped in towels.
@DemocracyMattersALot What #littlemarco means by "stable work" is that he wants the Republicans to finish their 100 year goal of reducing the US to a feudal system and the middle class to serfdom. He wants us to muck out their stables.

Millions of Americans are relieved that Trump is, hopefully, on his way to justice.
I tend to imagine that Trump sees his predicament as potentially sanguine as it is inauspicious.
Hitler attempted a coup, the Beer Hall Putsch, in 1923. He was convicted and imprisoned briefly, during which time he wrote Mein Kampf. The rest is hideously ugly history — history in which an increasingly desperate Trump hope hears the ring of rhyme. He’s listening for more.

Via Kyle Cheney:
JUST IN: Ray EPPS pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct on restricted Capitol grounds..sentenced 12/20.
Judge read from his statement of offense, which incl putting his hands on giant #Trump sign mob wielded against police.
EPPS was also on vid 5x trying to de-escalate conflicts betw police & rioters which may have been a factor in plea.
Statement of offense included his Jan5 statements saying “We need to go into the Capitol” & “I’m probably going to jail for it” #Jan6
The mistake most people make is doing a rapid test too early when they are pre-symptomatic, & thinking one negative test is sufficient. Please test multiple times over several days. If you test positive it's most likely you have COVID, if you are negative, it may be too early.
Must have been gagged and bound all this time...

VFW Calls on Sen. Tommy Tuberville to Lift Hold on Military Promotions
VFW sends letter to Senator, while VFW National Commander admonishes “this is not the way Congress should do business”
September 18, 2023
WASHINGTON – In a letter sent Sept. 18, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is calling on Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville to lift his hold on the routine promotion of military general and flag officers.
“The line in the sand for the VFW is simple: Political disputes must be handled by politicians – not within the ranks of the all-volunteer force. Sen. Tuberville’s hold on these routine promotions has consequences up and down the active-duty force that will take years to fix,” said VFW Commander-in-Chief Duane Sarmiento. “By sending this letter, the VFW is making our voice very clear – this is not the way Congress should do business.”

I wanted to go up to those young Muslim mums at the anti-trans rally on Parliament Hill today - to explain that these right-wing transphobes are NOT their friends, that many of them probably dislike Muslim women in hijabs almost as much as they dislike queer/LGBQT people. I know politics makes strange bedfellows. But if we don't stand together to protect each other's rights - even when we disagree - then we stand nowhere. #cdnpoli #Ottawa #yow #TransRightsAreHumanRights
Has anyone checked to see if he wrapped dishes in classified docs when they were moving out of the White House? Melania’s glass paperweight collection? His pub glasses from the great golf courses of the world?
Trump is lying about his "moderate" abortion stance — he will ban it nationwide: Trump lies constantly, and history shows he and the GOP will repay evangelicals with a national abortion ban
