The next Dem AG should waste no time going after those that broke the law.

being broken yet no one is arrested...no one is even let go from their job.

This is all on the heads of the Republicans in Congress. They could stop it now. Impeach, convict, remove.

We just keep going with the flow. I guarantee we will be the ones in prison soon. Take your pick.

YES, we know she will not be arrested but we need to shout from the rooftops every single thing the Trump mob is doing that is not legal and keep shouting it. There really are people who will listen, heed, and vote accordingly.

In the rural VA county from which I recently moved, we started religiously writing letters to editors in regional papers pointing out the damage to local farmers done by Trumps Project 2025 farm programs. We converted a few of them from R to D. Not many but it worked and that’s what we need one at a time.

"Calling for the arrest" and not the actual arrest that's at issue here. Thanks for straightening that out for me. ❤️

I feel frustrated that the maga-minions are acting as if there are no rules and no morality. I want action, but have no knowledge of a solution beyond demonstrating, flooding my Congress critters with emails, educating myself and spending a good part of my day racking my brain to figure out what more I can do. That doesn't render Senator Murphy's excellent summation moot.

littlemiss, do you have any good ideas?

And for some reason I keep coming back to... poison.

Seriously.

I think it's going to take something so serendipitous we can't prepare for it.

Considering Noem has been out of the spotlight because of a medical emergency, I thought this might mean she was back. NOPE, just old stuff.

There's nothing else written after that. So no text to follow.

It can also mean "no thanks" or "nice try" but that would typically appear in the body of a reply.
I think it is probably used as no text to follow in that posters case but I'm not sure.

over and over and over again is that there are no consequences to illegal behavior for these people. Merick Garland didn’t hold them accountable when he had the chance. I have no faith that anyone else will hold them accountable in the future.

but for future investigations & referrals to a future DOJ. Noem already is a named defendant in at least 13 federal cases, probably included in a few "et al" filings against trump, and and is probably included in over 20 other cases against Homeland Security.
