Robert Foster (R-MS) State rep is celebrating the same views as the vice president and prevented a lesbian reporter from going on a campaign trip because she was not being accompanied by a man.
Sounds like more Christian Sharia Law bullshit to me.

Pelosi calling for that resolution about the tweets is maddening. She’s so conniving. She’s belittled The Squad and progressives every chance she gets, but now Trump does it and she’s all aghast. Yeah right, they are two sides of the white supremacy coin. Stay in power at all costs is the bottom line.

I looked at it more like, I can call my brother anything I want but YOU better not fuck with him cuz I have his back.
As far as what Pelosi said, she shouldn't have been so flippant. It was their vote she was attacking not their race/nationality/ethnicity, it gave 45 a chance to get in there and exploit the division They (the squad/Pelosi) have a vast difference in where they stand on a number of issues and I think the speaker is way more used to younger members 'falling in line' at least until they get their feet wet a little bit. Thats not an excuse but there is something to be said for having experience in getting things through the House and appeasing both sides.

As far as the resolution
Its a tiny torn shred of normalcy and what SHOULD happen, it becomes a public record, and while it might not matter today, it might in the future.
Remember we're in uncharted waters here. We have not seen this level of BLATANT in your face pandering racism since before Kennedy and back then it was acceptable to the at large (white) population.

The press conf from the 4 is really good.
Rep Pressley is like we need to stay focused on why were here. This is taking away from the focus on so many issues.

Hey fatpony and any other children-adjacent professionals: are there any new books or materials that can help explain the border crisis to K-2 aged kids? Matt de la Pena has a couple that are great to start conversations, but I wasn't sure if there are others that have been published recently. My librarian card is in semi-retirement while I have these three kids and I am missing seeing the new books.

OMG Scalise we respected Obama as President even when we disagreed with him and Nancy Pelosi and her SOCAILIST DEMOCRATS. We always called him President. And we met with him when he asked.
Fucking revisionist history there Steve.

I emailed my congressmen (all four) yesterday prior to the press conference regarding the racist tweets. this is the response I just received from Crapo. Thank you for contacting me to share your concerns regarding the Trump Administration. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond. The delicate relationship that exists between the legislative and the executive branches is vital to the effectiveness of the federal government and must be protected. Congress has a responsibility to exert strong oversight to ensure that our branches of government utilize their powers in a manner consistent with the Constitution and the will of the people. As with previous administrations, I will continue to challenge any misguided or overreaching action by the executive branch to ensure this balance of power is respected. Given your thoughtful concerns on this matter, you may wish to share your views directly with the White House at www.whitehouse.gov/contact . As the 116th Congress continues, both the House and the Senate have a unique opportunity to address the many issues facing our nation and to work collectively to provide solutions for the concerns voiced by Americans. These critical issues include implementing necessary reforms to our current health care system, tackling our growing federal debt and ensuring the long-term viability of programs for seniors and veterans. To accomplish these goals, I am committed to working with my Republican and Democratic colleagues and the Administration to advance principles and policies that best serve the American people. In light of the significant task ahead of us, it is crucial that Congress take multiple opinions into account, and the views you have expressed play an invaluable role in making our democratic process work. I will continue to review the President’s actions in a manner consistent with the needs of Idahoans and the Constitution and keep your thoughts in mind as we progress in the 116th Congress. Again, thank you for contacting me. Please feel free to contact me in the future on this or other matters of interest to you. For more information about the issues before the U.S. Senate as well as news releases, photos, and other items of interest, please visit my Senate website, crapo.senate.gov . Sincerely, US SenatorSenator Mike Crapo Mike Crapo United States Senator
I especially like the contact the white house with your concerns I just fired back a response

The debate on the resolution has started Off the bat, dems are referred to as 'anti-american' Rep Jayapal has asked for them to be taken down and that its inappropriate to refer to colleagues that way.

High Drama Nancy has left the chamber McCarthy and Scalise are in there talking to Collins All the dems are gathered around the parliamentarian (thats a hard word to spell btw) discussing.
If her words are stricken she will be unable to address the chamber for the rest of the day.

That just about sums it up, doesn't it? On a debate about a resolution to take an anti-racist stance, those stating their anti-racist position are called "anti-American."
