'Put an end to the chaos': GOP leaders in swing state say party is 'on the verge of imploding'

Infighting within the Republican Party's ranks has not only been apparent in the halls of Congress: It's now also threatening the stability of the GOP's operations in a state that's played a deciding role in the last two presidential elections.

According to a Saturday report in the New York Times, eight of Michigan's 13 Republican congressional district Republican Party chairs have now co-signed a letter asking Michigan GOP chair Kristina Karamo to resign and "put an end to the chaos." The letter came after approximately 40 of the party's state committee members called for a meeting to discuss Karamo's future by the end of the year. However, that meeting has yet to take place. Meanwhile, the Mitten State's Republican leaders are growing more anxious by the day about their party's outlook next year.

"The Michigan Republican Party is on the verge of imploding. I have more money in my campaign account than the state party has in its,” State Representative Mark Tisdel said. “Sooner or later, the creditors are going to come calling.”

Police were told Maine gunman might 'snap and commit a mass shooting' 6 weeks before massacre

Law enforcement officials in Maine had previously been made aware that the perpetrator of the recent mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine last week that killed 18 and wounded 13 was on the verge of a violent outburst, according to a new report.

CNN reported Monday that in September, the national guard sent a letter to the Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office warning that 40-year-old Army reservist Robert Card could potentially "snap and commit a mass shooting," according to an unnamed fellow guardsman concerned about Card. County sheriffs tried unsuccessfully to conduct a welfare check at Card's home on September 16, though Card apparently refused to answer the door or talk to the responding officer.

'Extremely serious': AOC becomes first progressive to call for Menendez resignation

New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday became the first progressive House Democrat to call on Sen. Bob Menendez to resign following the former Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair's indictment last week on federal bribery charges.

Menendez (D-N.J.) and his wife, Nadine Menendez, were charged Friday with accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes—including gold bars, cash, home mortgage payments, and a Mercedes-Benz—from businessmen in exchange for influence. The indictment also accuses Menendez of giving "sensitive U.S. government information" to Egypt's dictatorship.

Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation," Ocasio-Cortez said that "the situation is quite unfortunate, but I do believe that it is in the best interest for Sen. Menendez to resign in this moment."

"Consistency matters. It shouldn't matter whether it's a Republican or a Democrat. The details in this indictment are extremely serious. They involve the nature of not just his, but all of our seats in Congress," added Ocasio-Cortez, who is the vice-ranking member of the House Oversight Committee.

If I can figure out a reliable long range mesh networking solution that can be deployed for less than $50/node and works with commodity hardware and linux, I could bootstrap a community message board or a community wide intranet.

I feel like I'm having this conversation every three weeks, but I'm actually in a position to act on it now.

So let's talk about #meshnetworking and #mbbs and #alternet internet replacement ideas.

What hardware exists right now? What software? (I'll thread some.)
