Winning!
Every morning I’m like What now? This account is mostly political. It’s where I go to discuss the ongoing shit show, exchange ideas on how to push back against trump 2.0, and vent. Happy to engage in challenging discussions but maga is blocked on sight.

Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…

The media's basic assumption that crimes only count if they happen in secret has been Trump's saving grace throughout his two terms. He keeps blabbing about them -- here, he's posting a video of a targeted assassination of civilians -- but because he's so brazen they assume it's no big deal.

This is not transparency. Nearly everything the GOP just “released” has already been released. This is a pathetic attempt by Republicans to buy them more time to bury this crisis. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

…what it would accomplish (beyond disrupting House business) is to formally document in the congressional record trump’s apparent crimes as well as force a vote by the house on the articles. Let the republicans cast their votes to solidify their places in history as the cowards that they are.
AlpenglowDreams (@alpenglowdreams.bsky.social) reply parent
I fully understand that. I also believe that democrats in congress need to be doing whatever they can to disrupt the maga agenda, and one way that they can do this is by submitting articles of impeachment as a privileged motion. While as you say the republicans would vote this down…

There are mechanisms that the minority party can use to force a vote on articles of impeachment. I know it won’t pass, but the action can be used at a minimum to disrupt the Republican agenda and will force them to vote saying that trump invading cities is just fine with them
