They count on public fatigue, but constituent pressure is actively disrupting their playbook. Right now, leadership is scrambling to shut down votes and bury evidence to shield corrupt officials and backroom corporate giveaways.

If you have two minutes today, flood Capitol Hill on these four fronts before the weekend closes. Then share the links on Substack and social media:

1. Force a Floor Vote to Impeach Pete Hegseth

2. Demand AG Blanche Release the Unredacted Epstein Files

3. Kill the Yosemite Public Land Giveaway

4. Stop the 45 Million-Acre National Forest Logging Rule

We’re not asking you to feel hopeful. I’m asking you to stay in the fight. Thirty-eight days. The people in this edition didn’t get a speech first. They showed up tired and did it anyway. Let’s go win this!

To paraphrase Jimmy Dugan, being human is supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, every species would do it. The ‘hard’ is what makes it great.

Send this to one person who thinks the only news is the noise. Not a lecture. Just the list. Happy Saturday, fellow resisters!

A recent post from a complaining fired ICE trainee re: his having to pay back the $50K he received to sign up put a wry smile on my face. I shouldn’t have basked in his pain but I couldn’t help myself. “Karma, buddy, karma,” was all I could think. Maybe people like him will learn to do a little research before taking an evil handout?

I felt good when Trump banned reporters from White House press, they stood together and did not cover his new helicopter pad, (probably illegal anyway) and some of China's visit.

As usual Scott, your Good news is a welcome respite from the avalanche of crap trump pulls. His speech at the UN was met with silence while both Cuba and Iran walked out.

I'm heartened by the ongoing court wins and applaud those judges with the ethics and courage to stand up to the onslaught of cases the DOJ continues to bring.

I recently went to a lecture about democracy around the globe that said most authoritarian leaders are actually really popular (like 80% favor ability) and then saw that Trump is possibly down in the 20s in favorability. That gave me hope that we are an exception and can bring ourselves back sooner (hopefully in a month!).

VIKTOR ORBAN was previously popular, even spoke at CPAC and was promoted by CPAC.

I posted a comment about him being a DICTATOR and was immediately condemned by an uninformed MAGGOTS. WORMS TURN!

Yesterday, SCOTUS ruled that state can, but are not required, to provide vital voter information to the Federal government in their effort to purge illegal/non-citizens from the rolls, Washington state Secretary of State, Steve Hobbs, will not comply. Most states have systems in place already to purge illegal voters anyway.

Yes,Robert Hubbell had an excellent post today about SCOTUS ruling! MSM is failing us with their sky-is-falling reporting.

The Supreme Court lifts stay, thereby allowing DHS to use SAVE database identifying citizenship status

These lists that Scott and his team give us for the weekend make it feel like this is a battle we can win. The momentum needs to stay strong as the five weeks ahead will get tougher. DonOld and his regime will throw everything in everywhere to slow down voting. Always remember that there are more of us than there are of them! Rosie the Riveter said "We Can Do This" and we can, together!

Flooding the SPINELESS MAGA with emails has forced them to HIDE!

The few 'town halls' held have been filled with angry voters.

Makes you wonder how deaf and blind these clowns are to ignore the consequences of their action/inaction. HEALTH CARE? SNAP CUTS? FEDERAL EMPLOYEE cuts that cause endless waits to resolve? That's MUSKRAT'S BOOBS & their MINDLESS FOLLY!

BIG BEAUTIFUL DISASTER and exploding DEFICIT!

Sorely tempted to send ICE a "furious email."

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Good idea, J Glaspie.

Let's see... what, pray tell, would happen if several million of us send "furious emails" to ICE.
