Democrats democratting. What a shocker. Voting for cloture just as Trump is pissing all over the justice department in a rambling and vindictive speech. And republicans are now repeating the impoundment is legal mantra.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I’m calling for new leadership in the Democratic Party. So many democrats want to do the right thing, but leadership is stopping them with the unspoken threat of refusing to give them leadership positions down the road. NEW DEM LEADERSHIP NOW!! #NewDemLeadership

Schumer is playing with a rule book that doesn’t exist anymore. @bennet.senate.gov and Hickenlooper vote NO on cloture. Not just the CR. And then vote for a new senate minority leader. PS. Also stop voting for terrible Trump nominees just because they are from Colorado.

Trump will tank the market. Then take credit for the largest bounce back in US history. Ignoring the Biden baseline and rallying Republicans who can’t bother reading anything past a headline. “Scrollers ain’t readers, texters ain’t writers.” Chuck D.

"America does not need a 'resistance,' or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people," writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social:

“But right now, when they are out of power and Trump is the capo di tutti capi, the history of patrimonial rule suggests that their most effective approach will be hammering home the message that he is corrupt. One thing is certain: He will give them plenty to work with.”

“Silence is consent” - Sen. Tillis describing how he is not listening to folks who expressed concerns about the Kennedy nomination that are not part of “credible organizations”. Seems like the new republican mantra to me. I’m sure Susan Collins is clutching her faux pearls somewhere.

Trump and team heighten talk of “terrorist immigrants”. Trump and team start noticeably talking about an increase of terrorist attacks that would be Biden’s fault. Trump and team seek to fire career FBI folks from across the country. 🤔
