We've been, correctly, beating them up for not doing anything. Today they did something and they deserve credit. Nice job, Dems. More, please.

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster.
Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture.

I just wish the Democrats who were actually progressive got more support from the party as a whole.
This will go faster as a carrot and stick operation rather than all stick. You can’t beat confidence into someone with no direction, and they need some of both badly.
His claim, on the senate floor, that there are high school teams made up entirely of trans girls is insane.
There likely aren’t enough trans girls in any one sport nationwide to field a team.
It is our right and duty as Americans to push back on them - HARD.
Thank you, Michael!

Still the more people we have on our side, the better. It's high time the Democrats started fighting for the left the same way the Republicans fight for the alt-right.
Don't throw trans people under the bus to get your preferred results.
And unfortunately, so telling.
Democrats are like the cops in demolition man trying to arrest Wesley Snipes.
What I’m saying is they need to get tough or let Luigi cook.
Democrats need to know we support them, Republicans need to know we're paying attention.
