If only Gorsuch had that realization roughly about the time he thought presidents should have immunity from everything.

I generally refrain from speaking ill of the dead…except for a handful that have yet to occur.

I also will not lionize someone simply because they’re not with us anymore. Not everyone deserves grace.

That said, the last vote Dick Cheney cast…was for Kamala Harris.

I commend him for that much.

Trump hasn't really made it clear to his loyal supporters that many of them are going to either lose their health coverage or have to pay a *lot* more for it. To bad the enrollment period has only just opened, so most of them are just now finding out the bad news. #ProudBlue

Nuke the filibuster, pack SCOTUS by adding 18 justices, grant statehood to DC + PR, pass some common sense gun laws. Don't stop with Mike's suggestions though. Codify Roe, ban Congress stock trading, expand the CTC, do universal basic income + healthcare, term limits, legalize cannabis... LFG!

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "Why do we say the Republican Party is the only one advancing common sense reform solutions? Because we've proven it. We did it in the big beautiful bill. We took a look at Medicaid & we took on that challenge. We took action to reduce fraud, waste & abuse in Medicaid"

Trump says government shutdown ends when Democrats give in: "If they don't vote, that's their problem" President Trump offered no plan for health care costs, which have been a sticking point in ending a government shutdown, and says it will end when Democrats give in.

The personification of evil. If we have an election, the Republican party will be destroyed.

My parents raised me not to tolerate racism, sexism, heterosexism, antisemitism, jingoism, classism, ageism, ableism... (and the list goes on). Call it morals, ethics, values, or just plain basic decency. Maybe call it a belief in fundamental human rights and an abiding commitment to love over hate.
