It’s like that parable about two runners who have the exact same time on the 40-yd dash, except one has perfect form & the other has terrible form. You’re supposed to pick the one w/bad form, bc they can be even faster. Dems always pick the other one bc it’s seemingly safer.

There are people with far less privilege and power than Sen Murkowski who have stood up to Trump. If any lawmaker is too afraid to use their voice, they should step aside and give their seat to someone who isn’t.

Juan Carlos Lopez Gomez will be held in jail for the next 48 hours because he is under an ICE hold. Again, he is a U.S. citizen born in Georgia.

That something certainly won’t be the courts. Nor will it be Schumer, since he has made it clear he thinks “we’re not there yet.”

And sadly, it’s not just Schumer. Every single Dem senator is either fine with Schumer as leader or too cowardly to speak up.
