Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

From its establishment, DHS has always been empowered to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our safety. DHS's overbroad mission and unchecked power make it a danger to our communities.

With the grand jury indictment and alleged paper trail, I think there’s a good chance these charges are valid.
That said, so many state repubs have stolen/misused multiple times this amount with NO consequences.
And we can guess at what’s different here.

NEWS: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) and several co-defendants have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami for allegedly stealing $5 million in FEMA overpayments, laundering the proceeds, and using the money to support her 2021 congressional campaign.

I can't stress this enough:
Media doesn't just encourage people to be bigoted, it encourages YOU to be complacent by telling you all your neighbours are irredeemable bigots. The number of ideologically dedicated fash is small, they are just being given all the resources. Talk to your neighbours

I understand the reasoning behind zeroing in on ICE & DHS abducting citizens. But when you lead with what's perceived as your most sympathetic cases, you cede the moral high ground & make arguing for others harder. It is wrong for armed, masked gestapo to grab people - doesn't matter their status.

With all due respect, if someone says “This human rights issue is hard-line for me, it will determine my vote.”
And you jump to publicly say “NOT ME! I’ll vote for you either way!”
You are undermining democracy and doing far more to divide the party than the first person.

a simple and entirely avoidable part of this problem is that all trucks post-2015ish are so tall that their headlights are functionally the same as high beams. the manufacturers are doing this on purpose to force everyone to buy more expensive trucks. it’s an arms race and we’re all the losers
I wish we, like, regulated shit nowadays. Between car bloat, blinding headlines, and neighbourhoods packed with rental suites but no on-property parking, driving is an absolute nightmare now.

Let me clarify: Beltway political journalists are absolutely an enemy of democracy and a giant club of narcissists who care about access and status and nothing else.
Local journalists, on the other hand, do a fantastic job for little to no recognition and pay and are heroes.

reality check: this is an fucked up thing to say about an entire profession. 99.999% of journalists abhor her behavior
She had an affair with an awful, married man — who SHE WAS REPORTING ON — while she was also engaged and somehow she’s an inspiration to other journalists???
These people are such narcissistic freaks, we need to completely burn down journalism in America and remake it holy shit.

these democrats aren’t up for re-election anytime soon, so if you want to send a message, you’ll have to flood the zone and primary them all. because we aren’t getting supreme court reform with this current batch
I think this helpfully confirms the notion that the end of the filibuster was a big motivator for the eight Dems.
Heaven forbid the Republicans get rid of the filibuster…

Since I’ve seen a few posts in favor of Desantis’s idea:
This doesn’t work.
In addition to all the reasons the death penalty is usually bad (wrongful convictions/weaponization) it can also make victims LESS likely to come forward. Abuse or no, children don’t want their family members killed!

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
