It took just 15 years to get from Citizens United to this

Let’s not forget that earlier today, this day was known as “we cannot build bananas in America” day. That is, until everything went bananas

Turning the NEH into an AEI research wing while also riddling the NEH website with dumb typos

Crazy how everyone leaving the Trump administration gets "Trump derangement syndrome." I wonder what the common factor might be.

Sinema has been vocally critical (even in retirement) of Democrats for past attempts to weaken the filibuster. When asked what she thinks about Republicans recently executing a back-door move to weaken the filibuster for a deregulatory priority, she doesn’t have a comment.
