The answer is not to call your congressman. The answer is to arrest Trump & MAGA congressmen. And we had better quit dilly dallying around if we want to ever get our democracy back.

Norm, is there anything you can do to help this along?

I hear your anger, but it does more harm than good. I share your anger but you can't arrest Trump period. He is protected. He can be impeached and would be if enough people made it clear to their congressmen that that was fundament to their electability. Protest? Yes! If they have the guts to hold public forums, attend and make clear your views. Write and call them.

What can you arrest congressmen for? They are protected by the Constitution from an arrest for what happens in Congress. Urging that to happen is both pointless and detrimental to the cause. We can not let the lawlessness of the MAGA regime turn us into equally lawless advocates. We need to be seen as the adults in the room.

Sorry I'm late to your video. So much squeezed into 1.43 minutes.

I admit ignorance of all the many ways bills become law. But are you saying the WH/Steven Miller is able to amend a House bill already passed? You say the amended bill was "sent back" to the House. Does that mean there was a second vote in the House on the now amended bill with the same 7 Democrats voting yes again?

Sorry, another question. You mention the $10 billion for ICE. I've heard the figure of $63. billion in the bill funding DHS and other agencies. Of that $63 billion, is only $10 billion for ICE and DHS? $53 billion is for other agencies including the Coast Guard?
