It’s Pretty Clear How This Blacklist Works

UPDATE: Hegseth has included @VanderbiltU on a list of schools off limits for tuition assistance for military officers as part of his campaign against schools he describes as “biased” against the US military.🤔 https://t.co/BQDCRXFdAI pic.twitter.com/E0ISCoW7Le

Pretty much how every blacklist works.

Congress can’t actually function by impeaching every Cabinet official who deserves it, because it ties up the House for the impeachment vote, and stops the Senate for the trial (I don’t make the rules). Oversight has its limits, and Congress can’t spend too much time overriding regulatory decisions. 

So it’s going to be up to the courts. And private parties taking cases to court. Democracy in action. Literally.

Of course , we did this to ourselves to begin with. Too many Joe Rogans out there.

I do wonder if he doesn’t wake up in a new world every day.

Congresswoman @AOC is currently one of the most popular figures among Democrats—maybe even the most popular.

I’m a big fan of AOC, and Trump/Miller gave certainly filled the sails of the opposition; but aside from President, we don’t elect any office nationally. So what’s the point of polls like this? To urge local Democrats to be more like Trump, and vow to Make America Democratic, or at least non-Trump again?

I gotta tell you, the airwaves are flooded with GOP primary ads down here, and they all brag about how they’ll be like Trump, which means fight like Trump. I’m not sure how much Democrats need to emulate that. Except to emphasize how they’re going to return us to our focus on people; especially working people.

Like AOC; ironically.
