Procedural question: In states where republicans are not showing up to town halls - can there be recalls for those positions with sufficient signatures from register voters?

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.
Looking up some stuff and it seems like we could be focusing further down the food chain. The pilots that illegally flew deported folks to Venezuela could maybe be held in contempt and fined. Department of Ed firings, who executed that? Make it cost more than it's worth to be an asshole.
I just wrote to the governor via his link on the gov's site. www.gov.ca.gov/contact/
And while I agree with the sentiments here - and I told him he has lost my support as a constituent - he is getting the word out about the wrong things anyway. We are still receiving from LA Fire, etc. Let him know.
I'd like to address this to our democratic copywriters asking me for money. Subject lines like, "Trump is FURIOUS" don't move me to donate. Consider instead: "DOGE Dismantled due to Effective Democratic Leadership." or "Trans Rights Enshrined in Constitution"

I keep seeing these comments about Hitler ending democracy in 53 days. That democracy was 18 when it died- not 250. Trump is creating the conditions that led to the end of the Weimar: they arenβt already here. Fighting for the working class is how we keep democracy.
Loved this episode!!!
As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.
βTerrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.β
