Jeffries to Republicans:

Don't let the fascists take over your party.

I recommend checking out this eloquent speech by House Minority Leader Democrat Jeffries from after the Speaker of the House election . Here's a snippet:

"WE EXTEND AND INTEND TO TRY TO FIND COMMON GROUND, WHENEVER AND WHEREVER POSSIBLE ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. NOT AS DEMOCRATS, NOT AS REPUBLICANS, NOT AS INDEPENDENTS, BUT AS AMERICANS. BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT WE WILL NEVER COMPROMISE OUR PRINCIPLES. HOUSE DEMOCRATS WILL ALWAYS PUT AMERICAN VALUES OVER AUTOCRACY. BENEVOLENCE OVER BIGOTRY. THE CONSTITUTION OVER THE CODE. DEMOCRACY OVER DEMAGOGUES. ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY OVER EXTREMISM....."

Over the next two years, expect a constant stream of frivolous congressional investigations by the Republican House designed to give the appearance of corruption and impropriety in the Democratic Party.

The end game is to regain the Executive Branch to open the door for fascism in the form of another Trump Presidency or DeSantis as POTUS. The Biden admin. is preparing for this and hopefully will be able to expose it for what it is.

@politicsusa46 at the expense of humanity and the planet

@politicsusa46 it's infuriating.

#McCarthy is only improving his #SpeakerVote tally because the weak Rs are offering the extremist insurrectionists all the destructive things they want.

The Jan. 6th insurrectionist members of Congress should no longer be allowed to hold office. Instead, they are holding the country hostage on the #SpeakerVote and making demands in exchange for their votes. #HouseVote #McCarthy

DeSantis claims the LGBTQ community is grooming children, but the truth is that DeSantis is grooming domestic terrorists.

@JoshuaHolland DeSantis claims LGBTQ is grooming children, but the truth is that DeSantis is grooming domestic terrorists.

In seeking a new House Speaker, McCarthey's attempt to herd cats isn't working out so well. If the congress critters are forced to stay in the voting chamber long enough, the Republicans may need to go against their own rules and install litter boxes on the House floor.

The white stuff on these western Oregon tree branches is not snow. It's a freezy icy coating that has been on the trees and on everything else outdoors all day and will likely remain there at least for awhile. This is expected to be followed by a series of atmospheric river events bringing plenty of rain, along with some very gusty conditions midweek. Looks like we could be in for a wild weather roller coaster. #corvallis #Oregon #trees #weather
