My German grandmother, a war refugee, emigrated to Chicago. She learned how to speak English watching WGN.
When I visited weβd watch WGN every night. Never thought Iβd see one of its producers brutalized & arrested by masked US govt thugs.
My mom & grandparents fled Germany bc of this same shit.

Hereβs a comprehensive list of appropriate responses upon hearing that a man murdered worshippers at a synagogue:
1- this is fucked up, fuck that guy, fuck antisemitism, solidarity with the victims
2- see above

If they want to act like an actual legislative body and hold the president to his oath to faithfully execute the law -- including appropriations-- than the Democrats can and should work with them.

They've proven they won't spend what's been appropriated unless they feel like it.

Now they've painted themselves into a corner. And they want Democrats to help them get out of it. So they can get back to handing Trump blank checks.

They managed to shove thru a Supreme nom with 51. I'm sure they can figure out how to appropriate some money if they really want. Which they don't. They haven't wanted or needed any help from Dems to roll over and hand Trump the purse.

Tho the proposed replacement looked like it was designed solely to stand out better on blue service signs on interstate highways. Which kind of makes sense, though it could just as easily be a gas station logo with that shape.

As logos go, it's a heaping pile o' lameness. I can imagine someone getting emotional about the food or the stuff in the gift shop. But the logo is beyond uninspiring
