Bravo to Mark & Ruben-they have done a great job getting the people’s messages out there. It’s Mike Johnson who should be taken to task for not allowing the government to open back up!!
Let's not get lulled into thinking MTG is doing the right thing. She's panicking because she is afraid of losing her seat. I for one don't trust her - the Republicans have shown us time and time again that they have no morals and ALWAYS have an evil agenda.
MTG wants to run for Governor of GA. But she might also be worrying about winning her congressional district. Maybe someone shared these statistics about GA-14 with her:
And then there is the impact of the Big Ugly Bill on projected ACA net premiums. Below is a state-level report for GA. It shows ~9.7% of families in her district receiving ACA susbsidies in 2025:
She perhaps is seeing the writing on the wall; once the Epstein files are out, Trump is over. At least I hope the country will abandon a proven pedophile.
I agree, when people do the right thing we should acknowledge it. On Epstein files and the ACA credits, MTG is on the right side. Even if her motives are selfish, her stance could result in others joining in, which is what is needed to break the lawlessness of this regime. Swalwell is indicating the dam is about to break. Let’s hope he is right.
She said it was becuz her adult children would face the tripling of their exchange based Obamacare plans. Typical conservatism: we love to screw others but it's wrong, wrong, wrong when it screws us
We should demand the GOP lose their medical coverage at the very least, for these excessive days they are not in session!
They are forgetting the lowly taxpayers are watching! The serfs whose employers act like they will go out of business, if they take a week off they earned!
Besides being bootlickers and circus freaks, what has the GOP done for US recently?
I agree. We are fortunate to have Mark & Rueben fighting back for US. Thank you also Scott for all the TRUTHS you tell and the Watchdog Coalition for the links and info !
“House Speaker Mike Johnson appeared on C-SPAN’s morning call-in program on Thursday, where he took heat from callers on both sides of the political aisle.
Samantha, a Republican caller from Virginia, told Johnson she lives “paycheck-to-paycheck” with “two medically fragile children” and a husband who serves in the military.”
⬆️Maga Mike should put his fake Christianity face back on and do the right thing
I agree- I think we should all call his office and leave a message that starts with a variation of asking how his "Christian faith" informs his position to....
* protect pedophiles by refusing to release the Epstein files
* cut poor people off from Medicaid and SNAP
* defunded free or reduced cost breakfast and lunch in public schools
* discontinue international aid programs could have saved millions of lives
* provide $$$$ to fund new ICE agents to kidnap and brutalize families and even little kids and to build concentration camps like "Alligator Alcatraz"
* Defund life saving medical research
This list goes on, so pick one that resonates with you or rotate through them when you call.
I'm surprised Mike Johnson was in DC. Was he afraid of his Louisiana constituents finding he was back in his home district? In his role as Speaker of the House, I have added him into my call rotation with my 2 GOP Senators and MAGA GOP Representative.
What do you think about Senators Kelly and Gallego confronting Mike Johnson?
I think all Democrats should stand outside MJ's office and hold press conferences all day long. That would drive him absolutely insane.
What are your thoughts on Bondi bringing scripted attacks and opposition research to her terrible performance in the Senate this week? Of course she is doing that. All scripted words from the evil ones in the white bordello house.
I love the idea of the man in the chicken suit in Chicago. And how brave of Governor Pritzker to stand outside and say come and get me. I bet a lot of people would surround him if anyone did try to get him.
I agree with you. There are calls to boycott purchasing anything except necessities. And since I am not in charge of marches against the regime I can’t answer that. But to know that every group is joining NO KINGS protest gives me hope.
70 lawyers and law scholars already signed and submitted a petition to the Florida Bar to investigate Bondi’s conduct as AG. The Florida Bar dismissed the petition on the basis it was claiming misconduct as a Federal official. They have been trying to have the petition alleging misconduct in office reinstated.
Federal attorneys can be disciplined through the Federal system and also through the disciplinary authority of the state where they are admitted to practice. I suspect that because DeSantis is governor, and his allies essentially run the state, the Florida Bar didn’t want to offend either Trump or DeSantis by taking the case. I would argue the Florida Bar is shirking its duties by refusing to hear the matter.
At the very least she needs to be repeatedly excoriated and ridiculed publicly for her truly execrable performance in front of the Oversight Committee. Scott is right to call it 'nonsense' and 'amateur hour.' She didn't even have the wit to ad hoc her own riposts and deflections to yes or no questions- when she couldn't find any more canned insults in her notes to hurl, she just stared blankly with a faint sneer on her face.
I haven’t watched the video, but I am getting the impression that Bondi behaved in a thoroughly unprofessional manner and she believes she isn’t obligated to give honest testimony before a coequal branch of government.
The sneer on her face with the cross hanging from her neck bespeaks of her true self, But we are keeping the receipts and her day of reckoning will come, as will with all the other evil doers in the cabal of this administration.
I thought John Mitchell had a decent reputation as a lawyer before he got embroiled in Watergate. But I could be wrong - I was in Junior High during Watergate.
That is exactly the problem. I am not a fan of Jeff Sessions, but as Attorney General, he did remember the United States government was his client, not Donald Trump. I have no doubt Trump was pressuring Sessions to cover up for him and protect him, but Sessions refused to do it, and resigned as attorney general. Sessions then ran in the GOP senate primary in Alabama, but Trump refused to endorse him, so Tommy Tuberville got the GOP nod and won the election. Trump managed to put someone dumber than himself in as a senator from Alabama.
Agree they like to eat each other alive. However, I have been to this "we're telling you in confidence that Trump is crazy and we're ready to jump ship but hold my beer while I vote for Trump's destructive legislation and then defend him before cameras" rodeo
Right!!? Blondi looked like she was having a seizure!! Bad nose job, bad eye lift, filler and botox...maybe her face was fixing to explode! Rotten slag
🤣🤣🤣 like the Alien...her face would have slid off and flopped on the floor. Chasing all those old farts around the Senate chamber trying to attach to their faces!!
Bondi’s unprofessionalism and lack of legal prowess are apparent all the time. More people need to speak truth to fascism, liars and the GOP. There is no argument to truth with receipts.
I think the senators did an excellent job by confronting Mike Johnson. There needs to be more of that. He needs to swear in duly elected Grivjalda immediately. It is time to stop playing games.

I am amazed that Marjorie Taylor Green is speaking up against Trump. Let's see how many Republicans start doing the right thing.

she’s probably mad she’s not Trump‘s darling anymore.
But it is surprising for sure! I don’t trust her. She’s just waiting for special favors to shut her up.
She seems to be genuinely concerned that her adult children are being affected by the expiration of the healthcare tax credit at the end of the year.
Well, GOPers do tend to take an interest if it effects them directly. Maybe she is worried the kids might expect her to pay?
Selfish is more believable that selfless when it comes to MTG.
Don’t hold your breath 🥵
She perhaps is seeing the writing on the wall; once the Epstein files are out, Trump is over. At least I hope the country will abandon a proven pedophile.
Also her own son is getting hit by insurance costs, now that he is on his own.
Hopefully, not holding my breath though. Some of them will still side with him regardless.
She stood up for women over the Epstein raping of young girls... She joined in their protest. We should give her credit for this!!!
I agree, when people do the right thing we should acknowledge it. On Epstein files and the ACA credits, MTG is on the right side. Even if her motives are selfish, her stance could result in others joining in, which is what is needed to break the lawlessness of this regime. Swalwell is indicating the dam is about to break. Let’s hope he is right.
Could she be thinking of entering the next round of Change-the-Speaker?
Don’t trust her!
She said it was becuz her adult children would face the tripling of their exchange based Obamacare plans. Typical conservatism: we love to screw others but it's wrong, wrong, wrong when it screws us
We should demand the GOP lose their medical coverage at the very least, for these excessive days they are not in session!

Nada
Let’s also hear about the Oregon General who said he would protect protesters as well as fed buildings! Huge!
I haven't heard about this. Do you have a link? I'd like to share.
I agree. We are fortunate to have Mark & Rueben fighting back for US. Thank you also Scott for all the TRUTHS you tell and the Watchdog Coalition for the links and info !

In October 18 we will all stand outside and say “come and get me”!
Pam have you seen this post from Antonia Scatton?
https://reframingamerica.substack.com/p/big-list-of-protest-signs
No, thanks for that! It’s excellent and important!
Please share it with others!
I just restacked and will forward to others.
That’s a perfect suggestion.
I don't quite understand why you are waiting until the well publicized mass demonstration - why not start now, in shifts, around the clock?
I agree with you. There are calls to boycott purchasing anything except necessities. And since I am not in charge of marches against the regime I can’t answer that. But to know that every group is joining NO KINGS protest gives me hope.
My Indivisible chapter is holding about 15 - 20 pop-up protests per week. I am going to attend one tomorrow afternoon and another one Sat. morning.
Because I am helping a friend with medical issues, but I do lots of other things too.
I think the guy in the chicken suit was in Portland when hair extender Noem showed up.
Yes!!
Bondi needs to be referred to her State Bar for investigation and disciplinary action, including potential disbarment.
70 lawyers and law scholars already signed and submitted a petition to the Florida Bar to investigate Bondi’s conduct as AG. The Florida Bar dismissed the petition on the basis it was claiming misconduct as a Federal official. They have been trying to have the petition alleging misconduct in office reinstated.

I would argue the Florida Bar is shirking its duties by refusing to hear the matter.
I hope groups keep trying. It is unfortunate that her license is in Florida. I agree with your assessment!

Scott is right to call it 'nonsense' and 'amateur hour.'

Well, yes. She’s Trump’s John Mitchell.
I thought John Mitchell had a decent reputation as a lawyer before he got embroiled in Watergate. But I could be wrong - I was in Junior High during Watergate.
He may have, but he lost it covering for Nixon.
Problem with that Florida is very red and deathsantis won’t get her disbarred.
That is exactly the problem. I am not a fan of Jeff Sessions, but as Attorney General, he did remember the United States government was his client, not Donald Trump.

⬆️Trump managed to put someone dumber than himself in as a senator from Alabama.
Quite a feat IMO!
At least he some morals
Yes, I do give credit to Sessions for remembering his professional responsibilities.
Way to go Gallego! And big shout out to the great folks in Fairbanks. Great stuff here.
Could the tide be slowly turning? I hope so, and your posts help give me that hope. Thanks, Scott! 🇺🇸🔥
I mean really, we are watching the GOP eat each other alive at this point.
Swalwell is reporting that numerous GOP members are telling him we are ready to point the finger at Trump.

Agree they like to eat each other alive. However, I have been to this "we're telling you in confidence that Trump is crazy and we're ready to jump ship but hold my beer while I vote for Trump's destructive legislation and then defend him before cameras" rodeo
I’ll believe that when I actually see it
I’m proud of my senators. Gallego sometimes doesn’t get it right, but this time he did. Johnson is covering for pedophiles. No doubt!
My kids can’t even roll their eyes that hard! 😂
LOL
Right!!? Blondi looked like she was having a seizure!! Bad nose job, bad eye lift, filler and botox...maybe her face was fixing to explode! Rotten slag
Truly something rotten trying to crawl out of that face all right- I could almost see it writhing under there.
🤣🤣🤣 like the Alien...her face would have slid off and flopped on the floor. Chasing all those old farts around the Senate chamber trying to attach to their faces!!
Ty Scott! Johnson, the self-proclaimed Christian, is only fooling himself—certainly not Our Lord in Heaven! 🙏
💙🇺🇸💙✌️💙🇺🇸💙
Bondi’s unprofessionalism and lack of legal prowess are apparent all the time. More people need to speak truth to fascism, liars and the GOP. There is no argument to truth with receipts.
Senators Kelly and Gallego are right on. Keep the pressure on Mike Johnson. It’s high time Republicans start to DO THEIR JOBS.
I pay little attention to Pam Bondi. She has already shown that she is a poor example of an attourney. Same goes for attourney general.
I think the senators did an excellent job by confronting Mike Johnson. There needs to be more of that. He needs to swear in duly elected Grivjalda immediately. It is time to stop playing games.
I live in Arizona. I am so proud of Mark Kelly and Rueben Gallego for standing up to Johnson.
They really did great yesterday Pam!
Glad to see democrats finally standing up!
Kelly and Gallego did the right thing. Get it? The Right Thing. That runt is by playing with pros. He needs to go.
