Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

here is the thing about the “argument” that democrats should have run roughshod over the law when they had the chance: it is much easier to break the law to destroy a program than break the law to create one.

I think government deficits are a good thing up to a point. But this is ridiculous. Their spurious claim is only that they are reducing the deficit, so if you send that money to taxpayers it can’t be a rebate because it’s not money that was ever paid in taxes. It would be newly “printed” dollars.

When Elimin said he was a free speech absolutist I didn’t understand that meant absolutely no free speech he doesn’t like.

Embarrassing confession - I heard some references to Jeffries on a "book tour" and thought it was some wry joke. But no! He co-wrote a children's book about democracy and is touring it during the first Trump recess week.

"We're doing everything we can" "This is no time for business as usual" Oh shit, it's 4AM, can we just do voice votes instead of roll calls? I'm sleepy as hell. No, I only have one amendment, sorry my staff didn't have time to draft 3,500 fresh ones for us to all vote on for the next eight weeks.

People have no idea what the government does or what it spends money on. They think a quarter of the federal budget is foreign aid and would like it to be only 10%. That would be 10 times what it actually was before Musk made it zero.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

AOC is currently the de facto leader of the Democratic Party.

Complete dereliction.
