We have 217 signatures on the discharge petition to force a vote on legislation to release the Epstein files.
We need 218.
Will the 218th (final) signature be a Republican or a Democrat?
It’s time for every Congressmen to support transparency and justice for the victims.
My observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence & calling for calm while MAGA are escalating rhetoric & lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.
Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy. In every instance it corrodes the public trust, diminishes our shared institutions, and replaces reasoned discourse with fear and coercion. Whatever our differences, they must be resolved through the peaceful exchange of ideas, the ballot box, and the institutions that safeguard our freedoms, not through threats, intimidation, or bloodshed.
Every Senate Dem. should vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR. No self-respecting Democratic lawmaker who takes his or her responsibility to their constituents and the constitution seriously can vote for this despicable Trump/Musk power grab CR. Why should Dems roll over and play dead when they were completely cut out and presented with a shit sandwich? Why give Trump a bipartisan imprimatur to gut the government?
WTF? @SenSchumer please grow a spine. And quickly.
BESHEAR: “It’s just Donald Trump and his billionaire friends and cabinet secretaries saying, ‘Oh, if we have to damage the economy, it’ll be worth it.’ Tell that to our families who can’t pay the bills at the end of the month right now.”
