is it time to talk about #RecallElections for every #MAGA sycophant that's subject to #recall?
apparently it's unclear if members of #USCongress can be recalled (probably requires #SCOTUS review).
but if we can get rid of 1 or 2 #Republican #USHouse members, the #Democrats can take control.
Laws governing recall
This is good background on impoundment—when presidents withhold funds approved by Congress for a specific purpose—and how previous Congresses have dealt with it prior to now. https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/16/presidential-impoundment-trump-nixon-history/ (paywalled)

The people currently running the US government are pure EVIL.
U.S. Congress is complicit.
Where is the rule of law? What happened to the oaths to uphold the U.S. Constitution? Where's the "checks" and "balance"?
House Republicans demand UFO transparency
Shortly after Trump signed an executive order declassifying all government records on the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
Chuck Schumer challenged Trump to extend the same transparency to UAP.
Schumer’s eyebrow-raising social media jab is no accident. In 2023, he sponsored what is arguably the most extraordinary legislation ever introduced in Congress. The bipartisan Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act alleged that shadowy elements of the government have secretly retrieved and are attempting to reverse-engineer craft of “non-human” or unknown origin. Astoundingly, the 64-page legislation defined “non-human intelligence” and would have required the government to take possession of “any and all” recovered craft and “biological evidence of non-human intelligence” transferred to private defense contractors.

I used to monitor state and federal legislation, and then my RSS feeds broke, and I just sorta tacitly reverted to following whichever bills were showing up in the news.
Today I've set up new feeds, so I'll start posting more about pending bills as they make their way through Congress and the Georgia General Assembly.
I'll tag all of the posts #legislation, and then #USCongress or #GAGeneralAssembly based on their jurisdiction, in case you want to follow or mute those terms. The goal is to alert your to legislation you may want to contact your legislators about, so they'll know how you want them to vote.
