Congress to vote on this, but Johnson has been blocking it for over a week.

The only thing this is doing is what these same people have been doing, dividing Democrats, and giving republicans full control of Congress, and two terms of a psychopath in the White House.

Typical divisive bullshit.

We are coming up to midterms, and it never fails.

Maybe we can add the Matt Taibi, Glenn Greenwalds, Jill Steins, etc. into that mix and see if this helps us win the midterms.

We are in this situation because NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE VOTED FOR VP HARRIS with the same detractors who always seem to make their entrance at critical times. 2000, 2016, and 2024.
