A heartfelt thank you to former Senators Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema for repeatedly blocking popular policies to preserve “norms” and protect “the rights of the minority” We couldn’t have gotten here without you

Gallego wouldn’t find himself explaining a joke if he didn’t appear on Fox. It really is that simple.

When people cheer Mangione, watch for tons of pearl-clutching about norms from people who absolutely reject and ignore both norms and actual laws. They seek to impose standards they don’t follow. They’d never apply those norms and standards to Trumpism.

Good thing there's like ZERO chance of a Republican becoming the governor of New York state and using these same measures to say, kneecap an actual progressive NYC mayor. I love living in a world where totally foreseeable second-order impacts never come to fruition! Woohoo!

Instead of doing something simple and effective, why not do a very a complicated form of a nothing that hands a loaded gun to your opposition? That's the Democrat Promise

New Jersey had TEN YEARS to prepare for congestion tolls. TEN YEARS to upgrade public transit and help New Jerseyans to get into the city. You have been nothing but absolutely vile on this topic. You have expressed nothing but whining and complaining and self-righteousness. Literally how dare you
