   Meanwhile in Tennessee:

   This is a VERY SERIOUS situation unfolding in Nashville. The reps who stood w/their constituents who came to the state house to demand gun safety, are facing expulsion from the House. Their Member ID badges have already been turned off. This is how democracy ends. https://t.co/9dOCWMPx2B

     Worth noting of course how the GOP continues to downplay 1/6, but faced with a *peaceful* protest targeting them in TN, GOP lawmakers immediately cry foul and try to expel sympathetic lawmakers. https://t.co/PJlDSC9Pi4

     Incredible. High school and college students are pouring into downtown Nashville from across the area for another march to the Capitol to demand Republicans pass gun reform. (h/t @trublu24) pic.twitter.com/7zoe6hhgwt

   I may remember this post forever. The cartoons are brutal and simply wonderful! The news–except for the backwoods state of Tennesee–is lovely! America the Beautiful!

     It’s funny you said that, I usually send the posts images and cartoons to the trash…but for today’s post I saved them, so that I can remember as the years go by.

       I still have, and treasure, a large cache of political cartoons the day Nixon resigned.

   Fury in NC: Tricia Cotham (D), NC state house representative is switching, or already has switched, to the Republican Party, giving the NC House and Senate a supermajority to override Governor Roy Cooper’s vetoes. Governor Cooper (D) has protected us from the legislation of the Republican lunatic fringe that this snowflake has destroyed. People are furious with her.

   I just want to remind you that tonight at 10pm on TCM they are having Brother Orchid with Edward G Robinson. It is delightful!

   My favorite is the one where Trump’s very trying day is when he has to remain silent. He needs a gag order pronto.

   Pence won’t appeal ruling that compels his testimony in front of a grand jury exploring the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
   …
   Pence’s decision to drop the appeal means he will probably testify under oath about Trump’s attempts to pressure him, and he could be a key witness. Trump and his team could still appeal the ruling, but they have lost similar cases previously.
