@oregonduckfootball.bsky.social Why have you gone quiet on Bluesky? I am sure there are Ducks fans who refuse to go on that other platform formerly known as Twitter.
Can't stand Trump and his cronies. 20 years ago used to be slightly right of center. Now much more to the left.

Excuse me…. But isn’t this exactly what Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans did in DC to avoid voting to release the Epstein files? Yes, yes, it is. 🚨 Texas Governor Abbott’s warning: If House Democrats do not return by 3 PM today, he will move to declare their seats vacant and replace them.

Maxwell was already convicted and imprisoned. Epstein was imprisoned. There is no reason to consider any immunity or pardon unless they are tampering with a witness.

Helpless? Prayers? That’s what pastors and civilians should be doing. We pay members of Congress to ask hard questions, start investigating,and find out if the government could have done more. Do it now before the next storm. We aren’t paying you to pray. We are paying you to help all of us.

Oh yes. I'm there for it. I am certain there are poison pills (some very dangerous) that have been snuck in without the knowledge of even all GOP members. One more point: as it's read aloud, Dem Senators should do social media posts breaking it down into snippets that make clear what's in the bill.

Ben makes a solid point here. If there is no universal injunction power, blue states should start testing the limits. Pass a law that requires federal Medicaid funds to go to anyone wanting gender affirming care. Pass a law that says anyone with feet on the ground in America is a US citizen.
