There has to be recall petitions started NOW. Check with state statutes for proper format. Recalls WORK!

10 spineless politicians...I'd have to expect that if gets bad enough that republicans start going after Trump/Musk, then those spineless minions will simply follow the herd.

The 10 Democrats who voted with Republicans to censure Green were: Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Tom Suozzi of New York

I was curious about Laura Gillen. She's new as of 2025 and she represents NY's 4th congressional district... which is apparently the 2nd richest district in New York and ranks among the richest nationally... so we can't trust her to not act like a Republican.

Sorry, am french, don't know the difference.

Google translate:

to censor => censurer

Happy to learn the difference.

You’re right of course, but it also works as wordplay.

You can't expect them to wear pink ties, hold up ping pong paddles with pithy statements on them, AND support a fellow Democrat's resistance to the rise of fascism!

I got accused of being maga for pointing this out. Whole lot of self destructive democrats with blinders on who think their elected reps will ride in like knights in shining armor to save them.
