You’ve just signed off, and I want to thank you for all the collective efforts in conceiving of, planning for, and executing #TheStateOfTheSwamp. I loved the range of guests, the passion, the frogs, and the overwhelming sense of hope shared by every speaker.
Because a post-Trump world is coming. That was felt on the stage and in the hall. We need to make the entire nation see that the might of our tens of millions will prevail. And the winds in our sails are strong and steady enough to make the necessary changes ahead of schedule.
Our voices can trigger a #BlueHouseOversightRampage EARLY -perhaps in just weeks - if we can convince JUST TWO HOUSE REPUBLICANSto declare as independent, standing as true patriots by caucusing with Dems to end this shift away from democracy towards kleptocratic #RepubloFascism.
We heard a lot of fear for what Trump might do to try to steal the midterms tonight. So why not take that whole process out of play? If we reach our goal with this strategy, the #ImmediateFlipMovement, we can make ALL THEIR ELECTION THEFT IDEAS MOOT. With all that Dems quickly uncover, nothing will stop the blue tsunami on the horizon in November.
In this Substack post I go over how to lower the barriers to making this happen, including encouraging politicians to rebrand as #ConstitutionalConservatives to differentiate from GOP 1.0 and striking a deal with DNC Ken Martin to ensure that this defection isn’t political suicide. We need Martin to promise NOT to fund or back a candidate against any of these new allies as long as they remain independent and caucusing with Dems into 2027.
My post digs deep into how the previously unthinkable could now be possible. In it I’ve included a link to a previous piece focusing on three MN reps, including there three-part meme sets to put into the X feeds of these Republicans and scripts for calls to their offices.
I ask also that you consider harnessing the collective might of http://represent.ustowards exerting this pressure in a unique way, framing this as asking - as progressives - for these potential defectors to BE OUR HEROES.
Mine is a tiny voice in all this, largely unnoticed. Yours, in championing a similar approach, could be monumentally world-changing. Please know that if you like what I’m proposing, I can recreate 200 more meme sets for potential defectors if called to do so.
Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky could very well be the first domino to fall, frustrated as he is by the continued defiance of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that he helped create.
Thank you again for what you were able to pull off successfully tonight, and also for considering what I propose now. Imagine having flipped the House by #NoKings3! By then Dems could have established the #SeditiousConspiracy to undermine our democracy with the smoking gun being the blanket firings of inspectors generals throughout government. That act proves the intent to breach laws, the separation of powers, and the guardrails that a benevolent and functioning government would stay within.
And by spring maybe impeachments and resignations will fly like confetti over a future #2ndIndependenceDay parade. We don’t know the annual date yet to be celebrated, but I hope that the choice is obvious in the next few months as a pivot point is reached where our triumph feels certain throughout a grateful and relieved nation.
Overall a great line-up! Powerful speakers (especially the mayors! Woot woot!) Loved the frogs. Agree we need JOY, but most of the attempts at humor fell flat…needs work. Thanks for pulling this together.
There is no sound here, on YouTube or the website.
Yes. It started. It’s works for me on both YouTube and Substack
They haven't started yet have they?
OMG! Colbert just flashed Miles State of the Swamp program!!

Congratulations to you Miles and Defiance.org. Well done.
Congratulations to all us viewers - this was an active resistance against a tyrannical regime in support of our lost freedoms and freedom of speech.
Miles, gotta say... sending the remote folks over to Tangerine TACO TrumpsterFire's State of the Unhinged was NOT cool!!
