Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

We used to have the world's greatest dog, a tiny black Chihuameranian named Gemma. She hated birds with a passion & whenever she saw them, she'd run at them, screaming like a banshee. I saw her kid equivalents at Balboa Pier today. They'd scream "pigeons" & then run at them. Made me laugh.
