    (exasperated Picard meme) Why the fuck didn’t the Democrats try to do this back when they had any chance of it passing?

      Because it’s not about ticket. It’s about class.

      Rich Dems want this as well as rich repubs

        Mmm hmm. Surely, the day is at hand when the GOP finds its moral center and openly revolts against Trump. We can’t even get the goddamn Dems to oppose him in any meaningful way.

          No they won’t. Dems and Reps work for the same people (and it’s not the voters). That’s why the Dems aren’t resisting. Their bosses have decided to go autocratic.

    “As Trump moves to expand military deployments, possibly using protests in L.A. as a pretext for more broadly silencing free speech or even imposing martial law, I’ll be reintroducing reforms to the Insurrection Act that check potential abuse or overreach,” Blumenthal posted to X, formerly Twitter, late Monday.
