Apparently in two years voters will need to remove the rest of them. The voters sent a clear message and the GOP said f*ck the voters and doubled down on the horror show. That blue wave will be a tsunami next time. We need to get the criminals and pedos out of our government. #uspol

BBC: US House blocks bid to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, for now
The effort failed in a 211-204 vote, with more than a dozen members, including 11 Democrats, missing the vote.

The fascists "solved" unemployment by converting their nations into giant war machines. The unemployed were either conscripted into the army or organized in labor battalions and put to work in war plants.

Many hoped the US MidTerm's result would allow the impeachment of Pete Hegseth possible, but Republican Thomas Massie was the only one from his side to vote for it & 11 Democrats missed the vote anyway.
Of course, the real opportunity to clip the Tangerine Tyrant's wings will not become active until the *actual* change of seats (caused by the MidTerms) in January... until then the Republicans may be less supportive of Trump, but an impeachment of Hegseth was a move too far...

I know next to nothing about electoral politics and honestly hate the idea of absorbing any knowledge about the US system but I've seen a lot of folks objecting to Jeffries from one angle or another, enough that I'd started thinking he's as much of a problem as Schumer but this piece lays things out nicely
'You don’t really have to like what comes out of Jeffries’ mouth. You’re actually not the primary audience. The primary audience is Dem members of Congress. Jeffries is saying to his new baggy caucus filled with members representing beet red America and his own Brooklyn, here’s what the immediate plan is, and here’s what we’re going to meet on next week to develop a plan for what happens beyond that'

Report: "3,000 clippings from ~700 papers dating from 1724 to 2023" show US collusion in Zionist colonisation
"Plan of colonising Palestine with Jews,” NYT, 6 January 1902.
“Jews set up six colonies,” NYT, 24 May 1939.
In 1926, the Buffalo Jewish Review reported that “Jewish Colonisation will Extend Beyond Palestine Frontier”.
Whitewashing began in the 1920s, replacing the word "colonisation” with “settlement”.

Poll results: 66% of Jewish Americans say Israel & Aipac are driving antisemitism.
And 80% say the same of "Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank & Gaza".
In addition, 60% say that Jewish organisations that label criticism of Israel as "antisemitic" do it to defend unpopular Israeli policies.
72% supported Democratic candidates, & 76% supported sanctions against “violent West Bank settlers”.

"We voted you in, but we're going to watchdog you all the way. We're going to summon you to town meetings of our organization where you listen to our demands. We're also going to start volunteer Congress watchdog groups so we can monitor you regularly & make sure you don't betray us."

Interview: "Impeach Hegseth. He’s a Clear & Present Danger to Democracy"
“Under Hegseth, the U.S. military has been hijacked. America has portrayed itself to the world as a far-right dictatorship bent on global domination."
"Hegseth & his wielding of the U.S. military - with free rein from Trump - is really the primary enforcer of that.”
“Hegseth should be the first domino." Then Trump & many senior military leaders.

Hegseth impeachment: What is he accused of, & could he be removed?
Sen Thomas Massie's eight articles of impeachment include accusations that Hegseth waged unlawful wars on Iran & Venezuela.
Massie dismissed Hegseth's description of the raid on Maduro as a law enforcement operation. “It was to kidnap a foreign leader so we could take their oil."

Report: PM Burnham has hired the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) - "accused of aiding Israeli starvation tactics that amount to war crimes & genocide"

Leonards' conditions are:

Does anyone else feel it? Trump is too calm in the way you get concerned when the kids playing in another room are too quiet.
Miller and Jordan are hilarious to us but strategic to them. Something is up and I think it's well planned by the Project 2025 designers.

Aure Free Press presents "The Gatekeeper."
Racist Stephen Miller becomes White House chief of staff Monday, days after voters handed Democrats control of Congress.
The leaked emails, the 3,000-a-day arrest quota, the killings in Minneapolis: a deep dive into the man who now controls access to Trump.

Since his "Weekend at Bernie's" appearance 9/14, three months after his initial disappearance from public view/the Senate, Mitch McConnell has not been seen publicly.
Another shining example of Republicans' "There is no bottom" political philosophy.
Zero transparency re: McConnell's extended absence--as if death/severe incapacity to serve are not the business of the people of Kentucky, or the Senate at large. -
AOC on the process and issues getting Jeffries out. It’s a civics lesson on how it works on the inside (in congress) and about what needs to happen, because we need better. With additional comments from Angela of Parkrose Resistance.

“Evaluating the American political project is…like inspecting a structure with a cracked foundation, black mold, and compromised framing. …the foundational bones of the country were structured to advantage a privileged few at the expense of collective well-being. … If a humane and equitable society is to emerge from the current stagnation, it…will require…a political architecture built for the many rather than the few.”

On Sisters-in-Law podcast over the weekend they said Alaska doesn't count any mail in votes for a week, which is why there's still 25% left to count
Some areas of Alaska are off grid and don't have reliable mail transport, hence allowing a week for the mail in ballots to arrive
That should mean they're getting counted today
Then there's ranked choice if no one ends up over 50% in the raw count

@mastodonmigration Schumer should put country ahead of his personal wishes and step aside for fresh and more forceful leadership. Remain on as a strong advisor who knows how to get deals done and how things work. Sure. There's this little matter also of needing a new direction with this big opportunity, and wanting the electorate to remain engaged and to show up again in 2028. Shumer is not it. #USPol #Schumer
