Blue 812 News Issue 47 - November 23

Nov 23, 2025

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who rose to prominence as one of President Trump’s biggest defenders, recently became one of his biggest critics, and was the recipient of the most alliteratively-scathing read of all time, is leaving Congress.

Greene released a nearly 11-minute video statement late Friday with harsh words for her party, and the announcement that she would resign effective Jan. 5, 2026 in the latest escalation of months of clashes with the president over his second term agenda – including the release of the Epstein files and reports that her ambitions for higher office are being stifled.

The third-term congresswoman said it would not be fair to her northwest Georgia district, one of the most conservative in the country, to have them “endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for” while noting that “Republicans will likely lose the midterms.” Her resignation will likely set up a special election to finish the rest of her term in the spring.

Just how pissed off is President Donald Trump about being forced to sign that law about releasing the Epstein files? Let’s just say he woke up in a particularly foul and vengeful mood Thursday morning, and fired up his Truth Social account, shooting off a series of posts suggesting Democratic lawmakers should literally be executed for urging service members to follow the law, even if that means refusing illegal orders from Trump officials.

“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Trump wrote. “Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand - We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET.” He also reposted 16 comments, including one that called for the members to be hanged.

Trump’s ire was brought forth from a video recorded by several Democratic veterans in the Senate and House with a simple message to service members: You’re allowed to refuse orders you believe break the law. It’s a critical message right now, as the Trump administration deploys troops into American cities and sinks boats with missile strikes in Latin America.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Democrats of saying exactly the opposite of what they really said. Trump doesn’t really want to execute those Democrats, she insisted, while claiming that the Democratic veterans (wait for it) had actually encouraged service members “not to follow lawful orders.”

Call Congress and let them know how you feel! Script below from Chop Wood, Carry Water

Hi, I’m a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______.

I’m calling to say that I’m disgusted that Trump called for members of Congress to be hung simply because they reminded members of the Armed Services that they don’t need to follow unlawful orders. That is not sedition. Trump needs to be impeached and removed—now. I am absolutely horrified at his incitement of political violence. Our country has huge problems, and instead of trying to address any of them Trump is busy threatening lawmakers, enriching himself, and avoiding accountability for his presence in a pedophilia ring.

[If GOP add:] Can you direct me to the Senator’/Representative’s statement denouncing this? [When they say they haven’t made one add:] The spinelessness is shocking. If you can’t criticize Trump when he’s actively calling for the death of your fellow lawmakers, then what are you willing to call him out for?

While the Senate appears resolute in their decision not to pursue redistricting, House Speaker Todd Huston told his caucus to leave their calendars open for those first two weeks of December, in the hopes senators will change their minds.

But now Gov. Braun and at least 8 lawmakers have been the victims of attempted swatting amid the bitter redistricting debate. Law enforcement has not attributed the Indiana threats to a specific person or identified a cause, but the most recent reports come after Trump posted multiple times this week on his Truth Social platform about Indiana lawmakers.

The Indiana State Police is working with law enforcement at the local and federal levels to investigate “multiple instances” of swatting targeting lawmakers, according to a Thursday news release. The agency plans to seek criminal prosecution “to the fullest extent allowed by law.”

Our US Rep. Mark Messmer, who once served in the state senate, argued this week in the IndyStar that Indiana should redistrict to counter Democratic redistricting efforts and “level the national playing field.”

The Vigo County Council approved funding for a school facilities oversight board, but disagreement over an earlier measure continues. Vigo County Council member and squeaky wheel Steve Ellis argues rules have been broken, and he’s consulted a top-tier attorney — but he’s not made a decision on filing suit. While Ellis maintains rules have been broken, “To be clear, it’s not illegal. It’s just a violation of our (County Council) rules we’re bound by.”

In statement emailed on Tuesday, Council President David Thompson said he wants to “set the record straight about much of the false information floating around” related to the ordinance presented by Ellis. Last month, Thompson said the council had not acted within its own rules when it originally brought the measure to a vote Oct. 14; the ordinance did not get a proper first reading. He also had said it did not gather a two-thirds vote in favor, which he said is required because it was passed without the opportunity for the public to comment.

Council rules state that 15 days prior to the sunshine meeting, departmental requests must be submitted in writing along with supporting documentation to the secretary (the auditor) and copied to the council administrator. 12 days before the meeting in question, Ellis sent an email to the auditor that stated, “Please place me on the agenda for both meetings next month. I might only speak at the actual regular meeting, but I’d like to reserve the right to also speak at the sunshine should I choose to. Thanks.” According to Thompson, there was no other explanation or supporting documentation, and the council administrator was not copied. An ordinance was never filed with the auditor, therefore no first reading occurred. Thompson says council rules state “…a two-thirds vote of all elected members, after unanimous consent of all the members present… is required to pass an ordinance on the same day or same meeting at which it is introduced.” There was not unanimous consent and it was a 4-3 vote, not the two-thirds vote required. Therefore, the ordinance did not pass, Thompson said.

In related news, applications for the oversight board are open. Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, resume, three references, and a list of any current board of committee service via email to [email protected]. Appointees will begin serving on the board on December 15, 2025, with a final report due in April, and will be expected to meet twice a week, excluding some breaks in late December and early January.

Support the calls to action for the We Ain’t Buying It campaign from November 27-December 1. Target, Home Depot, and Amazon are aiding and abetting the Trump regime, so don’t pay them to do the regime’s dirty work.

How to Participate:

Congress passed a bill to release the Epstein files with overwhelming support. Only one Republican, Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana, voted against the measure, explaining his rationale in a head-scratching rant on X. Donald Trump actually officially signed the bill to release the Epstein files — but it’s worth remembering this bill contains some serious loopholes. For example: Trump’s Department of Justice now has one month to release the files… EXCEPT those related to ongoing investigations. Remember how the DOJ opened up a brand new criminal investigation focused exclusively on Epstein’s connections to Democrats? Yeah…

The bill compels the Department of Justice to release “all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” within 30 days of Trump signing the law. It’s not clear exactly when we’ll see the files, but thirty days… we’ll all be home for the holidays ready to research. The law also requires that the files be in a searchable format, so obviously, yes, we will all be searching the same thing the moment they drop.

While we’re all waiting with bated breath, you can read through all of the emails that have been release by the estate. They are all available in a searchable repository from the Courier, or you can use jmail.world to access all of the emails like you’re logged in to Jeffrey’s Gmail.
