Half the country thought masks were too authoritarian and oppressive for the government to order. Same half now cheers the thought of sending US citizens to foreign gulags where the government says courts have no authority over you once you're there. Make it make sense.

Chuck Schumer: Believes democrats shouldn't fight funding bills. Doesn't want to risk getting blamed for being obstructionist or making the government shut down. Believes fighting isn't worth any risk. Corey Booker: Mountains of praise from everywhere for slowing things down for a single day.

Jesus our country is depressing right now. A long-time DOJ fraud prosecutor fired. A career employee, not an appointee. It came from a WH email instead of normal internal process. He was prosecuting a fast food executive whose lawyers lobbied DOJ to drop the charges.

Last week, PM Carney called for elections in Canada at the end of April. I'm jealous their election cycle is only a month long. Congress' main job is campaigning/fundraising for elections. IMO that's part of why they're happy to push their job to POTUS--so they don't have to actually legislate.
