Agree. It's great to see civics in action. It needs to come back in a big way.

Political power has gutted civics because civics guts political power.

Bill Ives told Podesta: We've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics, and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. Unawareness remains strong but compliance is fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious thinking...

Time to turn the tables on them, both the contrived left and right isles of the political spectrum.

I wrote to my Senator again yesterday. I going to write my Rep again as well. We need to get them all to fight as loudly and critically as possible! The noise has to shatter Trumps dream of taking over our country! We have to get everyone in the House and Senate to IMPEACH HIM & get him out of office, as well as Vance, Musk and all his enablers. If we have to have another election, so be it!

Making a lot big noise until a few decent Repubs listen to reason. Might take awhile, but it’s worth it.

Yes. The attorney general Pam Bondi stated basically that anyone opposing tRump was going to be rounded up. My words- l will search out the exact quote if l can figure out how to get back here!

Total Fascism!

Absolutely insane. I’ve been screaming at the top of my lungs the similarities between this regime and the one Germany had in the 30/40’s but was ridiculed for that. Eating their words now :)

When your a horrid enabler Republican who votes for every obnoxious thing Trump does, & wants, guess that’s what they think. But wait! Didn’t Trump pardon the J6’s traitors? Why, I would think the J6er’s are hero’s to Republicans since they’ve all mostly taken the knee to their new King!

He was being condescending and failed to recognize that he was the one who needed to listen to his constituents instead and do his job.

Went to a local indivisible event the other night - what started out to be maybe 30 people signed up, mushroomed into 135 attending. It was great to see so many there and it will only grow! This is a new group that had 2 members for the first meeting - then 6 at the 2nd - now 135!!!

I wish with all my heart that we will be able to do this. I fear if this continues “primaries” will be a long lost dream. He has stated in plain english that if he won we would not have to vote again. To imagine he did not mean that he would not leave office is wishful thinking.

What people failed to realize is that when those that voted for him see now what has happened now they’re trying to do something about it but it’s too late. Musk! Have bought all branches of government, including the Supreme Court. They will use Martial law on the American citizens. This is what we are looking at.

The smug look on his face was infuriating. He wasn’t able to just speak and have people accept what he was saying. He didn’t seem to know how to handle it.

Granted, it would be nice if a town hall could be a civil back and forth about issues and concerns. I think this eruption by his constituents, however, is a pretty clear signal with how upset people are and that they just plain don’t trust him.

Also, not a great move to compare these folks to the January 6ers!

The wealthy privileged are raised differently and are TOTALLY disgusted by we :commoners"!

They raise their baby spots to believe we're filthy insects!

And we deserved to be squished. And apparently robbed!

I keep saying POUND POUND POUND on these assholes. I don’t think people believed me the last three weeks when I kept saying that to all of you. It matters. Even if your Congressman has his head up Trump’s ass… POUND ANYWAYS. They love their jobs more than him. They are all freaking out. Those Quinnipac numbers are freaking them out. The members are going to take a wait and see attitude, however. If constituents let up on the gas for even a second… they’ll walk and say it was temporary. You have to pound. Every day. Every way. Email. Call. Show up. They work for you, not the other way around. Those members need to know money doesn’t protect them at the ballot box.

And Democrats need this the HARDEST. They are just standing there like ducks in thunder. They need a kick to the head. I am livid with my members… and they have heard it from me… in calls… in emails… and in me cutting off donations to them (which prompted them to finally call ME.)

Pound. Pound. Pound. Every day. Until they finally start exercising oversight and bring the President to heel. I mean even Republicans in Congress should be outraged by what the President is doing in terms of riding roughshod over the budget and Congressional authority. He’s a lame duck Orange assclown. They’re acting like they are prepared to subvert the Constitution. If that’s the case… then you better bet they need to be terrified of their constituents wrath at the ballot box.

Elected Republicans keep forgetting, and choosing Party over People. The people are telling them. It's time they listen.

Aaron, We need to hear about the budget that the house will vote on Tuesday! Ali Velshi on his Saturday morning show gave excellent detail. People need to hear about to be calling their HSE of Representative now. Please share what is happening on this.

I hope they start seeing that these types of things that are happening are not going to get them to keep their jobs. On both the Dem and GOP side. We need to hold both parties accountable for their actions. I also pray that what is happening under Trump wakes we the people up too. We the people need to keep ourselves informed and educated in how our Government, laws, and Constitution works for us, and, how We The People are responsible for how all of that works for us, and, who we elect, and, trust those who we put in those offices. We don’t only need to hold the parties accountable , but, we also need to hold ourselves accountable, as well.

Every member in our states and White House have forgotten the Preamble to The Constitution. I am printing the format below, addressing it to each member on the State Level and those in the White House. I'm writing in bold Red Ink Personal and Confidential on the envelopes. I'm ve my state boxes full of the envelopes and am dropping them off today at UPS to go the Capitol Building for distribution. On Monday I should be ready to drop them off to all White House members including the Supreme Court Justices and Mr. Trump (yes it says Mr. Trump- until he starts acting like a President I refuse to address him otherwise)

The Preamble in Simplified Explanatory form.

Form a more perfect union: Create a more effective, united, and cohesive system of government.

Establish justice: Ensure that all citizens are treated fairly under the law.

Insure domestic tranquility: Achieve peace and quiet at home by preventing riots, rebellions, and other social disorders.

Provide for the common defense: Protect the country from external threats, foreign and domestic.

Promote the general welfare: Improve transportation, agriculture, and industry, protect health and the environment, and solve social and economic problems.

Secure the blessings of liberty: Protect the rights and freedoms of the people.
