House Oversight Questions Hillary on Epstein-- and PIZZAGATE?!?!? What Next?!
Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: Overview: In this episode, we discuss a week of political chaos and accountability theater, beginning with Hillary Clinton’s closed-door deposition before House Oversight and why it was, in substance, a political stunt. We break down what actually happened inside the room, why Republicans refused to make the hearing public, and what (if anything) was learned. We also examine Comer’s surprising openness to potentially subpoenaing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick as new Epstein-related revelations continue to surface. We then discuss renewed fear campaigns around a potential Trump executive order to “take control” of elections, what the Constitution actually says about federal authority over elections, and why these threats are designed to suppress turnout rather than reflect legal reality. We also examine reporting about ICE’s weapons stockpiling and what it does—and does not—signal about DHS funding battles currently underway in Congress. Finally, we address the deeply alarming anti-trans law in Kansas that is now in effect, including its impact on driver’s licenses, incarceration risk, and what legal challenges are already underway. We discuss why attacks on trans Americans are not just discriminatory policy choices but part of a broader authoritarian strategy—and why Democrats cannot afford ambiguity on this issue. In this episode, we discuss: Hillary Clinton’s House Oversight deposition and the political strategy behind it Bill Clinton’s ongoing testimony and what may come next Comer’s comments about potentially subpoenaing Howard Lutnick Election “emergency” executive order threats and why they lack constitutional grounding The role of fear tactics in voter suppression ICE weaponization, DHS funding, and the broader budget fight The Kansas anti-trans law and its immediate real-world consequences Why defending trans rights is a frontline fight against authoritarianism Content note: This episode includes discussion of sexual abuse allegations, political extremism, and anti-trans legislation.

Whistleblower LEAKS That Missing Epstein Files IMPLICATE TRUMP! What's Next!
Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: Overview: In this episode, we discuss newly uncovered evidence that key documents appear to be missing from the Epstein files—records that allegedly implicate Donald Trump in sexual assault of a minor and raise serious concerns about a potential DOJ/FBI coverup. We break down what “Bates numbering” reveals about the missing pages, why the gaps matter legally, and what realistic paths to accountability look like—both politically and criminally. We also discuss the State of the Union, including the most significant moments of Democratic protest and pushback, the strategic choices made by leadership, and why silence in the face of authoritarian rhetoric carries consequences. Additionally, we cover the rapidly escalating humanitarian crisis in Cuba following oil restrictions that are crippling transportation, electricity, and food access across the island. Finally, we examine the SAVE Act—what it actually does, who it would disenfranchise, and why it represents a dangerous escalation in voter suppression ahead of the midterms. In this episode, we discuss: The missing Epstein file pages and what the investigative reporting reveals What Bates numbering is and how it exposes withheld documents The political strategy surrounding Epstein accountability Key moments from the State of the Union and Democratic responses The growing humanitarian crisis in Cuba The SAVE Act and its potential impact on voting rights Concrete action steps you can take right now Content note: This episode includes discussion of child sexual abuse, state violence, and humanitarian crisis.

BARBARIC: ICE deports baby Juan Nicolas and his family after outrage grows!
Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: Overview: In this episode, Elizabeth leads with a heartbreaking and enraging story out of the Dilley detention facility: the deportation of gravely ill two-month-old Juan Nicholas and his family after the case began drawing public attention. She explains what Joaquin Castro witnessed, why the medical conditions inside Dilley are catastrophic, and how DHS responded—not with care, but with removal and abandonment across the border with virtually no resources. From there, Elizabeth breaks down the political fight over DHS funding and why “reforms” like body cameras and unmasking are not meaningful constraints on ICE and CBP violence. She also covers growing corruption inside DHS, including the resignation of spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin amid allegations involving a contractor tied to her husband. Finally, Elizabeth pivots to a critical midterm message: how elections actually work at the precinct level, why mass election tampering is extraordinarily difficult, and why fear-driven misinformation about “stolen elections” does the regime’s work for them. The episode closes with tangible good news—court victories against ICE and a major step forward in state-level Epstein accountability. Episode Highlights: The deportation of severely ill infant Juan Nicholas and the conditions inside the Dilley detention facility Joaquin Castro’s involvement, what was reported from the hospital transfer, and why DHS chose deportation over care DHS funding negotiations and why “body cameras” and “unmasking” proposals don’t stop state violence Tricia McLaughlin’s resignation as DHS spokesperson and the emerging contractor/corruption story behind it DHS threats to “unmask” anti-ICE social media accounts—and why surveillance is already the baseline Major court win: order preventing ICE from re-detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia New Mexico’s truth commission to investigate Epstein’s New Mexico ranch and state-level accountability models Virginia’s Law: what it is, what it could change for civil statutes of limitations, and what it won’t do Colbert/CBS censorship controversy and how the Tallarico interview workaround backfired on the regime A precinct-by-precinct reality check on election security: paper trails, bipartisan election judges, sealed processes, and why “the election will be stolen” narratives are dangerous Why intimidation tactics are logistically limited—and how fear campaigns are designed to suppress participation And don’t forget to support the show by becoming a paid subscriber at .

DEPLORABLE: Can Pam Bondi be SUED for Harm to Epstein Victims?!?! And What's Next
Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: Overview: In this episode, Elizabeth breaks down the fallout from Pam Bondi’s explosive Judiciary Committee appearance—and why the internet’s loudest “accountability” theories are often legally impossible in the short term. She explains what Bondi’s posture toward Epstein survivors reveals, how metadata and search histories were allegedly weaponized against members of Congress reviewing the unredacted files, and why doctrines like sovereign immunity, the Federal Tort Claims Act, and Rule 23 class certification block many of the civil lawsuits people are demanding online. Elizabeth also revisits what RICO actually requires (and why it’s so rarely viable), while laying out what real accountability could look like after a change in federal power. Plus: a salacious internal DHS scandal involving Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, signs Democrats are finally using the filibuster as a weapon, and what the reported “ICE drawdown” in Minnesota actually means—along with urgent local tactics to stop new detention camp expansion. Episode Highlights: Pam Bondi’s combative hearing performance and her treatment of Epstein survivors The “burn book” controversy and reports of DOJ surveillance of congressional search histories Why weaponizing metadata against Congress is a dangerous escalation What Bondi’s demeanor suggests about political strategy, fear, and legacy collapse Why Epstein survivors can’t simply “sue Pam Bondi” (sovereign immunity + FTCA limits) Why class actions aren’t a shortcut (Rule 23: commonality, predominance, and certification) A clear breakdown of what RICO does and doesn’t allow—criminal vs. civil, enterprise, predicate acts What accountability could realistically look like after a change in administration Kristi Noem + Corey Lewandowski scandal, DHS resources, and signs of inside-the-house sabotage Democrats using the filibuster to block key GOP legislation—and why the SAVE Act may be next The reality behind “ICE is leaving Minnesota” and why organizing there is working On-the-ground detention conditions described as “concentration camp” level Practical local leverage: stopping ICE detention expansion through zoning fights and property pressure And don’t forget to support the show by becoming a paid subscriber at .

Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual abuse of minors, human trafficking, government corruption, election conspiracy claims, public health policy decisions, and political retaliation. Listener discretion advised. Overview: In this episode, Elizabeth breaks down a chaotic and revealing 24 hours in American governance—from a bizarre FAA shutdown over El Paso to explosive developments in the Epstein files review and growing fractures inside Congress. She explains what likely happened behind the sudden airspace closure in Texas, why the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein documents signals deep institutional incompetence, and how grand juries and Republican defections are quietly reshaping the political landscape. Elizabeth also addresses the dangerous rise of conspiracy thinking around Epstein—and why it undermines real accountability for survivors. Plus: troubling news from the FDA on mRNA vaccine innovation, the Fulton County election warrant controversy, and what a potential collapse of the House majority could mean for the balance of power. Episode Highlights: The unexplained FAA shutdown over El Paso and what it reveals about administrative dysfunction Pam Bondi’s Judiciary Committee hearing and competing narratives about “cartel drones” Why the DOJ’s “double redaction” failure in the Epstein files is legally indefensible How the Speech and Debate Clause forced unredacted Epstein names into the public record Major business, political, and academic figures facing fallout from newly reviewed documents A critical message about conspiracy theories, QAnon-style claims, and protecting survivor credibility A grand jury’s refusal to indict members of Congress—and what that signals about democratic guardrails The Fulton County search warrant affidavit and the fragility of election disinformation claims The National Governors Association breaking with the White House FDA rejection of Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine and the broader implications for public health Republican defections blocking Trump’s tariff power grab—and what a tied House could mean next And don’t forget to support the show by becoming a paid subscriber at .

The episode then shifts to the international fallout unfolding in the UK and Europe, and closes with a cultural counterweight: Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show as a vivid, joyful rebuke to authoritarianism and white nationalism—plus a quick update on the NJ-11 race and a reminder to stay engaged in upcoming primaries. Episode Highlights: Congress gains access to unredacted Epstein files and key lawmakers head to DOJ to review them How the Speech & Debate Clause could allow names to be revealed legally on the House floor Why full public leaking of unredacted files is dangerous for victims and unlikely from ethical DOJ staff Ghislaine Maxwell’s deposition posture and what it signals about ongoing obstruction The UK political scandal tied to Epstein connections, resignations, and widening European fallout Why accountability is moving faster overseas than in the US (for now) Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show: symbolism, joy, cultural power, and why MAGA is melting down NJ-11 update: progressive momentum continues as results tighten in a major local race Call to action: track your local primaries and keep pressure on Congress regarding the SAVE Act And don’t forget to support the show by becoming a paid subscriber at .

Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of white supremacist content, immigration enforcement abuses, and child sexual abuse and trafficking (brief, non-graphic references). Listener discretion advised. Overview: In this episode, Elizabeth breaks down a major progressive upset in a high-stakes New Jersey special primary and explains why it signals a wider shift inside the Democratic base ahead of the midterms.

GOP Senators DEFY TRUMP in LANDMARK VOTE! Now What?!
Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: In this January 9, 2026 episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth breaks down a brutally difficult week—and the unexpected signs of resistance emerging from it. She covers bipartisan cracks in support for Trump’s foreign policy, including Senate action to rein in military escalation in Venezuela and GOP defections on ACA subsidies, while also unpacking disturbing new developments in ICE violence following the murder of Renee Goode. Elizabeth explains what’s actually happening behind the scenes legally and politically, why mass organizing still matters, and how sustained community action—not despair or mythical solutions—is already shifting the terrain. Key Takeaways Bipartisan votes in Congress signal real cracks in Trump’s control, especially on war powers and healthcare. The investigation into Renee Goode’s killing is not over, despite federal obstruction, and state-level accountability is still possible. ICE shootings follow a clear, repeated pattern—and DHS narratives should be treated with deep skepticism. Calls for a U.S. “general strike” overlook legal, economic, and healthcare realities; mass mobilization and local organizing are the real levers of change. Collective action is already working—from protests and boycotts to corporate and political pressure—and it will continue to matter in the weeks ahead.

Trump Floats CANCELLING the Midterms-- BUT CAN HE?!
Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: In this episode, Elizabeth breaks down a wave of alarming headlines and rhetoric—from Trump’s threats about elections to foreign policy escalations and manufactured domestic scandals—and explains why fear is often the point. By grounding the conversation in civics, law, and power analysis, she shows how many of these threats are either legally impossible or signs of political weakness, not strength. The throughline: panic distracts people from organizing, while clarity creates leverage. Key Takeaways Trump’s most extreme statements are often fear tactics, not realistic plans. Understanding how elections and government actually work is a form of protection. The Greenland narrative isn’t a grand conspiracy—it’s about billionaire tech interests and resources. Racism and disinformation are being weaponized to justify attacks on states and political opponents. Courts, state power, and local organizing still matter—and are actively constraining overreach. Staying grounded, supporting independent media, and engaging locally is how real resistance is built. And don’t forget to support the show by becoming a paid subscriber at .

Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: An emergency broadcast interrupts the holiday break after the Trump administration launches a sudden military strike on Venezuela and claims to have captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Elizabeth breaks down what’s known so far, why the action is framed as unconstitutional and illegal under international norms, and what immediate political and global consequences could follow. The episode closes with a direct call for listeners to contact their representatives and demand accountability. Key Takeaways • The administration carried out an unprovoked attack on Venezuela and claims it kidnapped Maduro and his wife • No congressional briefing or authorization is reported — framed as a War Powers and constitutional crisis • Unclear U.S. jurisdiction for prosecuting a foreign leader; legality is heavily questioned • High risk of escalation given Venezuela’s ties to China and Russia and potential UN action • Listeners are urged to call Congress and demand oversight, hearings, and accountability And don’t forget to support the show by becoming a paid subscriber at .

Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: In this year-end broadcast, Elizabeth reflects on what changed in 2025 — and why 2026 may hold more political possibility than many expected. From skepticism about media “rehabs” of far-right figures to practical warnings about USPS postmark changes impacting vote-by-mail, the episode moves into a bigger conversation: what Democrats can realistically do if they win Congress, why oversight matters more than fantasy legislation, and why the resistance has momentum going into the midterms. The episode closes with a direct call to organize, think bigger, and back candidates who actually walk the talk. Key Takeaways • Caution against “rebranding” Marjorie Taylor Greene — retiring doesn’t equal redeemed • USPS postmark changes could complicate mail voting and deadline-based filings • K.M. Abrego Garcia: trial paused while judge weighs vindictive prosecution claim • 2026: winning the House enables hearings, subpoenas, and oversight (not instant new laws) • Year-end message: resistance is stronger, Trump looks weaker, and organizing now is key And don’t forget to support the show by becoming a paid subscriber at .

This episode breaks down the key documents now making headlines, the ethics questions around DOJ messaging, and the broader political backdrop: the leaked 60 Minutes “Sea Cot” report, a major court unsealing fight, a sudden purge of U.S. diplomats, and more signs of a government reshaped around loyalty and optics.

Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: In this special Monday broadcast of Resistance Live, the fallout from the long-awaited Epstein files release takes center stage. With the DOJ missing deadlines, selectively redacting material, and pulling documents after public scrutiny, questions of legality, corruption, and accountability are escalating fast. From potential contempt proceedings against top officials to media suppression, internal fractures on the far right, and dangerous international brinkmanship, this episode breaks down why these stories are deeply connected — and why they matter right now. Key Takeaways • The DOJ failed to fully comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, releasing limited and selectively redacted material • Lawmakers are considering inherent contempt of Congress to enforce compliance, including personal fines for DOJ officials • Trump is not shielded by presidential immunity from impeachment or prosecution related to Epstein • The Heritage Foundation’s legal team resignation signals growing fractures within the far right • CBS pulling a vetted 60 Minutes story raises alarms about political pressure on the media • U.S. seizure of Venezuelan oil has sparked backlash from China and Russia, escalating global tensions And don’t forget to support the show by becoming a paid subscriber at .

Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: In today’s episode, we begin with the explosive developments surrounding the September 2nd Caribbean boat bombing and the growing controversy over the alleged second “kill order” issued against survivors. We break down what is known, why the legal terminology around “war crimes” is complicated in a non-war context, and how military code, international law, and the chain of command apply. We also examine the political fallout: fractures inside the MAGA bloc, demands for investigations from both House and Senate Armed Services Committees, and the White House’s shifting posture as scrutiny intensifies. From possible impeachment proceedings for Pete Hegseth to questions about the DOJ’s authority, presidential immunity, and the limits of preemptive pardons, we walk through what accountability could realistically look like — now or under a future administration. Beyond the bombing, we cover: The jurisdictional limits of the International Criminal Court and why a Hague prosecution is unlikely Potential civil avenues for victims’ families under customary international law What Trump’s late-night Truth Social posting spree does not mean, and why recognizing noise vs. escalation is crucial Major implications of the Tennessee 7th special election The legal challenge to Alina Habba’s appointment as Acting U.S. Attorney in New Jersey and what it could mean for ongoing prosecutions As always, we close with concrete action steps, including why calls for impeachment matter even when outcomes are uncertain.

BREAKING: Trump's DOJ Throws Kristi Noem UNDER THE BUS!
Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: In today’s fast-moving episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth breaks down explosive new developments on two major legal fronts. First, she unpacks the DOJ’s stunning claim that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—not DOJ officials—greenlit the defiance of a federal court order that led to the unlawful deportation and torture of over 200 detainees in El Salvador. With contempt hearings looming, Elizabeth explains what this revelation means for Noem, for Judge Boasberg’s investigation, and for the growing constitutional crisis inside federal law enforcement. She also covers the breaking news that Fulton County prosecutors are dropping the Trump RICO case, outlining the political and democratic implications—and the few silver linings—that remain after years of work on the fraudulent electors prosecution. Balancing the heavy news, Elizabeth highlights meaningful wins and signals of shift: a major financial penalty upheld against Trump and his attorney, the unexpectedly competitive special election in Tennessee’s 7th District, and the New York Times finally acknowledging Trump’s declining physical and cognitive state. She also dives into the “We Ain’t Buying It” holiday boycott, the economic pressure campaigns emerging nationwide, and the worsening financial landscape facing everyday Americans. As we head into Thanksgiving, Elizabeth closes with a call to stay grounded, resist doom narratives, recognize the organizing and progress happening everywhere, and remain committed to the work ahead.

👉Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: In today’s episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth breaks down Trump’s latest escalation: openly calling for the execution of several Democratic lawmakers after they reminded military personnel of their duty to the Constitution. She explains why these threats are felonies, why they fall far outside presidential immunity, and how they could constitute impeachable offenses—even as the GOP remains silent. She also explores the political stakes of this moment and what it signals about the ongoing erosion of democratic norms. Elizabeth then turns to major updates on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, now triggering a 30-day countdown to the release of roughly 300,000 pages of documents. She clarifies how the deadlines work, what the attorney general can and cannot withhold, and why the estate continues to produce records. Additional highlights include the CDC’s disturbing new vaccine-autism language, Trump’s legally doomed executive order aimed at blocking state AI regulations, and a preview of the high-stakes meeting between Trump and New York City mayor-elect Zora Mamdani.

➡️ Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: In this urgent episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth breaks down the Senate’s shocking weekend vote to end the government shutdown—exposing why the deal represents a devastating sellout of the Democratic base and millions of Americans who rely on ACA subsidies. She explains how the Senate leadership, particularly Chuck Schumer, engineered a collapse in leverage just days after Democrats’ sweeping electoral victories, and why the promise of a mere vote in December leaves families facing skyrocketing premiums or loss of coverage entirely. Elizabeth also digs into the widening rift between House and Senate Democrats, Indivisible’s push for new Senate leadership, and the concrete actions listeners must take now to fight back. The episode also covers major developments on SNAP benefits, Mike Johnson’s political calculus around recalling the House, and the high-stakes implications for the long-stalled vote on releasing the Epstein files. Elizabeth closes with analysis of Trump’s recent federal pardons—including what they do not shield co-conspirators from—and outlines the urgent tasks for organizers and constituents as millions face hunger, loss of healthcare, and growing authoritarian threats. It’s an intense, essential briefing on a volatile political moment—and a clear call to action.

She also explains the legal reality on seating GVA and why Speaker Mike Johnson’s stall is unprecedented, plus the Senate’s defense-only maneuver to shift blame for unpaid military families. On the Voting Rights Act case, she outlines what to watch at the state level while we await a ruling and how turnout plus voter-protection organizing can counter suppression.

IT'S A COVER UP: When Will Johnson Swear Grijalva-- the FINAL VOTE on the Epstein FIles?!
✨ Big news: we just opened POWER LAB: A Seven Week Program for Emerging Organizers to Overcome Outrage and Build Community Action for registration! This guided 7-week program helps you turn struggle into strategy, gather your people, and start making a real difference. Learn more here: In this episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin covers this chaotic holiday weekend. We zero in on why Arizona’s special-election winner GVA still hasn’t been seated and how Speaker Johnson’s delay looks like a stall to block a House vote on the Epstein files—plus exactly how to pressure his office now. We preview this Saturday’s nationwide No Kings demonstrations, what safety prep looks like, and why humor and joy can defang authoritarian optics, even as ICE escalates crackdowns in Chicago and Portland. We unpack Maine’s Senate shake-up as Janet Mills jumps in, clarify what “vindictive prosecution” dismissals really mean, and cut through propaganda around the Israel–Hamas ceasefire, a U.S. bailout for Argentina, and a Qatar base in Idaho—examples of hierarchy, not hypocrisy. We also cover the near-invisible climate disaster in Western Alaska amid a hollowed-out FEMA and close with the widening fallout of the shutdown, concrete ways to support your neighbors, and why disciplined, hopeful messaging—not doom—builds power.

Trump makes WILD THREATS against people opposed to fascism-- but can he carry them out?!
✨ Big news: we just opened POWER LAB: A Seven Week Program for Emerging Organizers to Overcome Outrage and Build Community Action for registration! This guided 7-week program helps you turn struggle into strategy, gather your people, and start making a real difference. Learn more here: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/power-lab In this episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin dives into the tense and fast-moving political moment following the White House’s controversial “Antifa roundtable.” With panic spreading across social media and Patreon feeds, the show opens by cutting through the noise — exposing how the administration’s latest campaign against so-called “Antifa” is less about public safety and more about targeting the organizational and financial backbone of the Democratic Party. Drawing on new off-the-record reporting from Reuters, the host breaks down which groups are being singled out and why — from Indivisible and ActBlue to Jewish Voices for Peace and the Democratic Socialists of America — and explains what this means for free speech, organizing, and the road to 2026. From there, the conversation turns to the growing threat of voter suppression and intimidation, with warnings that the coming midterm elections may look unlike anything in recent memory. The episode also covers the deepening budget crisis in Washington, the political fallout surrounding the unreleased Epstein files, and the growing unrest in Chicago as citizens resist ICE crackdowns. Equal parts analysis, strategy session, and rallying cry, this episode reminds listeners that awareness, preparation, and collective courage will define the months ahead. Clear analysis. No spin.

BREAKING: A Political Run for the Ages ROCKS Tennessee!
✨ Big news: we just opened POWER LAB: A Seven Week Program for Emerging Organizers to Overcome Outrage and Build Community Action for registration! This guided 7-week program helps you turn struggle into strategy, gather your people, and start making a real difference. Learn more here: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/power-lab In this episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin kicks off with a major political announcement: Justin Pearson, one of the Tennessee Three, has launched a primary challenge against longtime Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen. Elizabeth breaks down why this moment is such a powerful turning point—not just for Tennessee, but for the broader Democratic Party. With Pearson’s deep community ties, bold leadership, and national recognition after his expulsion and reinstatement in the Tennessee legislature, this campaign signals a generational shift that’s been a long time coming. The episode also tackles escalating federal violence in Chicago, where ICE and CBP agents have shot a protestor and a priest outside the Broadview Detention Facility, even as Trump threatens to arrest Governor Pritzker and the city’s mayor. Elizabeth lays out the facts, the legal implications, and the urgent need for organized resistance. She also covers breaking developments in Jim Comey’s prosecution, the dangerous influence of Stephen Miller, and the media's centrist drift in the face of rising authoritarianism. This episode is a call to action and a clear-eyed assessment of where things stand—and where the fight goes next. Clear analysis. No spin. Real tools for resistance.
