So there's a pretty cool worldwide activist group called the Raging Grannies. They promote peace, social justice, and economic equality through humor and song. Seriously they have so many songs.
Anyway a thing people have been doing lately is holding "empty chair town halls" where they hold town halls for Republicans too chicken to show up. This was for Tom Tillis, Senator for North Carolina. They gave us a number telling to do his darn job.
The Texas senator is a crucial vote on the attorney general nominee in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is set to vote Tuesday.
The memo is not legally binding and makes no promises at all in any case about a future slush fund to reward people for commenting Terroris and CSA, nor does the memo revoke the illegally conferred permanent immunity for tax crimes for Trump, his family, frieds, and business associates.
The $1.8 billion fund, which could have compensated Jan. 6 rioters, has become a flashpoint in the battle over Trump's attorney general nomi
U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams ruled that Trump's settlement with the IRS has no basis "in law or fact."
And none of this stops the illegal payouts already being given to criminals he pardoned.
With Blanche Nomination at Stake, Payouts to Trump Allies Continue
“Tillis and Cornyn caved even though they have literally nothing to lose,” says Chris Hayes. “At the national level, there really are no ‘go
I don't have much hope of stopping this, but it is a good Idea to tell Tillis and Cornyn what you think about them caving, and to tell any Republican Senator you might have and Mr. Fetterman why you oppose Todd Blanche's nomination in any case.
Here are some reminders of why putting a pro-CSA anti-democracy anti-bodily autonomy advocate in charge of such and important part of out government is a bad idea:
Todd Blanche AG Nomination Is a Disaster

Got this today in my email.... Dear Mr. Rossi: Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts regarding net neutrality. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond. Net neutrality is the principle that Internet Service Providers (ISP) will be required to treat all data traveling over the networks equally, rather than allowing ISP's to customize service offerings with their users and compete for more customers on the basis of quality and price. It essentially imposes a one-size-fits-all business model on the Internet and represents an unprecedented government power grab to control and regulate the Internet, which is why federal courts have already slapped down the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) twice before when attempts were made to impose net neutrality mandates in the past. As you may know, the FCC recently voted in secret to adopt net neutrality mandates and reclassify broadband Internet access services as "telecommunication services" under Title II of the Communications Act. This would allow the government to regulate the Internet under the same rules designed for "Ma Bell" in 1934, which hampered innovation and growth for more than fifty years. I support a governing framework for the Internet that allows more competition, more innovation, and more freedom of speech. I believe that less government regulation, not more, provides for the best opportunity for the Internet to continue to be a major source of innovation and economic growth for the United States and the rest of the world. When the issue comes before the Senate, I will carefully consider everything you have said in making a decision on what is best for North Carolina and the rest of the country. Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me. It is important to hear from citizens themselves on issues that affect the state and the nation. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me again about other important issues Sincerely, Thom Tillis U.S. Senator

GOP Senator – “I don’t have a problem” if Employees Don’t Wash Their Hands in Bathroom
I mean, just when you thought you’ve heard it all from these backward Republicans, they hit you in the kneecap with another outlandish statement.
During a Q&A at the Bipartisan Policy Center on Monday, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) related a story from his time in the state legislature in 2010, complaining that the U.S. is “one of the most regulated nations in the history of the planet.”
