OK? What about the moment of extreme urgency of the fascist oligarchy controlling our government, filling concentration camps, stealing all the money, starting wars, and burning the Constitution? Do ya think that might be extremely urgent? Like THE MOST extremely urgent thing right now?

not urgent enough when trump passed the BBB, or the fact epstein files isnt even being touched for the most part, because most of them(senators, House reps) are on it, or when ICE is being massively expanded, or the trade wars.
