Raskin: "I found the preamble to this big ugly bill. 'We the billionaires and our king, in order to deform and sicken our union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our people's defenses, undermine the general welfare, and have staggering debt servitude for eternity ... '"

Cowardice: I’m scared of Trump and his voters and need to go-along to get along with my GOP colleagues;

Moral rot: I know the difference between right and wrong, and actively chose wrong.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment:

Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand;

Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”

- James Baldwin (1924-1987)

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”.

This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

We Are Not the Nation We Thought We Were We must see through our myths about ourselves if we are ever to aspire again to greatness

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do?

Why does he always sound like a 3rd grader doing a book report on a book he didn't read?

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods…

I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

LMAO -- a reporter breaks news during a briefing to State Department spox Tammy Bruce that her boss Marco Rubio is the new national security adviser

"I just heard this from you," Bruce says

I just keep wondering if Steve is okay.

"'She’s a very talented scientist with huge potential … the capacity to be the best of the best,' he said..."

Thank you to every game-playing fan of The Last of Us for not spoiling me for tonight’s episode. I watch YT reactions, dabble in Reddit and live in Tik Tok and here. Not a peep.

My cat is ADDICTED! Makes my life a living hell if I don't keep them coming.😬

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.
