Does it? Seems like just another thing that will go off without any consequences

This is illegal. Doesn't NY have like...a lot of cops?

Obama's made hundreds of millions of dollars since leaving office. Only thing he's worried about is protecting his brand.

But not people who want things like universal healthcare, childcare, or college, right? Those people are extremists! But we can invite a few bigots into the tent; that's cool.

Your main issue with it is that Congress didn't consent...ok...

Heather Bresch, Joe Manchin's Daughter, Played Direct Part in EpiPen Price Inflation Scandal A new email shows Heather Bresch, then CEO of Mylan, worked with her counterpart at Pfizer to corner the market and keep costs up.

Retiring Senator surely wouldn't mind if we had some hearings on his daughters price fixing scandal

Sounds like the party of 27% approval did everything right and we should stay the course with no critique whatsoever. What a relief

Homie you already told on yourself by claiming that "magic" is the only way a president and Senate Majority Leader can shove an obstructionist in line. Tell that shit to LBJ lmao.

And I stand by it. That's different from your framing, but ultimately, they had to choose: A) make Joe Manchin REALLY uncomfortable or B) let a bunch of kids fall through the cracks.

A choice was made. Not by every Democrat. Just the ones whose job it is to pull people in line.

Nope. That's a fun straw man though. The narrative I'm selling is that leadership was feckless and weak and couldn't/wouldn't exert the kind of pressure on the recalcitrant members that it needed to, with disastrous results. Hardly controversial. Not even a hot take.

Congress Found An Easy Way To Fix Child Poverty. Then It Walked Away. Imagine the federal government could lift millions of American children out of poverty with a single program. That program would help parents put nutritious mea…

Imagine if any member of Dem leadership had the fortitude in 2022 to go to war for the CTC. Genuinely wonder if the election ends up playing out how it did.

I've been practicing law for 15 years. I'm not gonna do pop quiz time with some rando. Yes. It would be an insane understatement to say that I'm very familiar with the moderate successes and giant missed opportunities of the Inflation Reduction Act. And yeah. $35 is still too damn high.

Jesus Christ dude. Yes

If they cast the deciding vote to nuke elements of the elected Democratic president's legislative agenda he ran and won on (didn't happen)? Then yes. Boot em.

Yeah, they passed the "Inflation Reduction Act" which anybody can look up. That was basically the neutered "Build Back Better". And they passed some ok recovery stuff in reconciliation. But by mid-2021, Schumer had decided to just capitulate and then it was just about managing expectations downward.

Unless you whip him, which an effective Majority Leader can do. His daughter blatantly committed securities fraud; dangle that under DOJ's nose if he wants to increase child poverty. Kick him off committees. Whatever. Biden's whole thing was "I can make deals in Senate" (file not found). Twas BS.

They passed a hobbled version of Biden's "Build Back Better" Act, and in the process failed to even renew the child tax credit (which had, in under a year, cut child poverty in half). They made a calculated decision to revive child poverty.

Raising the minimum wage above $7.25 and passing Joe Biden's legislative agenda is "socialism" now. Interesting

Like between 2021-2023 when the Democrats had a majority in the Senate and House but wouldn't pass anything because of the filibuster threat and the powerless parliamentarian who the Republicans now completely ignore?

You really have no sense of irony or when someone's being sarcastic do you

Yes, like most Trump supporters, I am very concerned about the health and wellbeing of Arab children in warzones. Class MAGA move

Was he feeling well enough to set a Palestinian baby on fire himself or did he require assistance?

The government never appealed the 2019 order granting withholding of removal. If you have a problem with that, take it up with whomever was president in 2019. He wasn't convicted of domestic violence and it's not deportable necessarily. Look man. You want the guy out? Go through the damn process.

He wasn't adjudicated jack shit, that's the entire problem

Wow sounds like he's definitely MS-13 based on this clearly irrefutable evidence.

Cool.

In that case the Trump administration should have no trouble proving it in court.

Sanders received more votes in Iowa but Buttigieg got more delegates because of an arcane system. Red Iowa is pretty irrelevant though. Sanders ended up with nearly 100x the delegates Pete got.

Courage would have been standing up to to Israel lobby

Colin Powell is a war criminal so

Yeah no
