These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

No leader should by his decision create so much disunity and anger in his own party. That alone is political malpractice.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Refer to him as nothing less than the capitulating, collaborating POS he is, and everyone else in the Democratic Party who abets this fascist regime. Fucking Vichy cowards

The Democratic Party is without leadership. There is zero organized resistance. Where is an angry Obama, Clinton, Harris, or Jeffries? The only one righteously standing up day after day is Jasmine Crockett. Meanwhile, TEN Democrats voted IN FAVOR of Al Green's censure. What the actual fuck!?

If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

I've finally started this famous tome today, and immediately, I'm absolutely smitten with how Wolfe writes. His prose reminds me of what a coked-up John Cheever might sound like, or if JD Salinger didn't have a stick up his ass and cared about something other than sullenness and petulant whining.

Is this the most spot on assessment of Trump ever written?

To take a political break, tell me what's the furthest north, south, east, and west you have been from home. For me North: Helsinki, Finland South: Montego Bay, Jamaica East: Tashkent, Uzbekistan West: Tokyo, Japan
