What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAn opinion piece in the Washington Examiner says a Democratic congresswoman, Pramila Jayapal, is holding what it calls resistance labs meant to subvert the Trump administration.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe column says Democrats have made resisting President Trump part of their platform for ten years, and that planning began on Nov. 9, 2016, the day after he won.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe day after. That's a full twenty-four hours of grieving, and honestly I'm proud of everyone for setting a boundary.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSomebody took the eighth off.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA lab sounds like a very organized way to complain about things. I respect the infrastructure.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe excerpt we have is cut off, so what actually happens inside a resistance lab is not in it.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe piece is opinion, and the headline is the author's framing.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo it could be anything, Hank. A workshop, a seminar, a bake sale with a strategy.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTen years of planning. I can't get my sock drawer organized.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou have a plan, Hank. You've had one since that day.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYes. Beans.
