McGovern: House rules require a super majority vote for any bill that increases income taxes. Guess what? Republicans are turning that rule off. Why did they have to do that? Because they know this bill will increase taxes on those families struggling the most to put food on the table.

After #Springsteen criticized the administration, the president said he should “KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT.” Undeterred, Springsteen included his comments on a new release, which begins with his remarks that America “is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration."

People are resistant to accepting that sexism played a significant if not decisive role, because there's no easy path to fixing this problem, besides simply running only white male candidates

Marco Rubio called the immigrants he deported to the El Salvadoran gulag “gang bangers” That’s a lie At least HALF of them came here legally. They were vetted and allowed to stay. Some were refugees. Others were given permission to work Senator Van Hollen should refer Marco Rubio for prosecution

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

I no longer think that headlines/framing/etc in mainstream news make a first-tier difference in prez elections. (At one time they did. See: James Comey letter Oct 2016.) But headlines/ framing / etc are tells about the mentality of a news organization. This is a pretty depressing tell.

Joe Biden is a good and decent man. His Presidency was a triumph for meaningful legislation to improve the lives of the many Americans. He and his family deserve peace during this difficult time.

Democratic politicians pay Democratic consultants to tell them the right response to this moment is say Democrats are bad and draw public attention away from Trump’s malfeasance, because Democrats successfully pushed out a Democrat for being too old but should’ve pushed more, do I have that right?

submitted 3 days ago • 37 comments

I say all this to say, stop it. Biden was old, tired, not as sharp in language, recall or gait as two years before. But he was doing the job and doing it well. Sadly he was not able to effectively do the Comms part of the job which requires vigor & charisma. Now do a wellness check on Trump.

Budget reconciliation may not be catchy, but it's been a vital tool for many presidents, including Ronald Reagan, whose first federal budget was a watershed in the history of federal fiscal policy.

He truly is the biggest crybaby in all of human history, and it just saddens me that so many men think he’s a tough guy, that so many men think he’s a real “man.” He’s the antithesis of a real man. He’s a liar, a coward, a crybaby, and a cheat. Nothing manly about any of that.

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

Pam Bondi lobbied for Qatar & a private prison company, got paid $115K/month, then failed to disclose it during her AG confirmation. Now she’s gutted foreign lobbying enforcement under FARA and signed off on $400m planes. The corruption isn’t even subtle anymore.

If you’re upset about Trump accepting a kingdom-in-the-sky jet from the Saudi royal family you have to remember that Bill Clinton once said hello to Loretta Lynch before the 2016 election. Corruption on both sides.
