At the end of second episode of The American Revolution, as word of Declaration of Independence reaches London, soundtrack plays Handel’s Sarabande, which after its use in Barry Lyndon, always sounds pessimistically melancholy to me.

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Haven’t watched PLURIBUS screeners, but have been hearing from critic friends for weeks about how good it is. And with 20+ reviews now tallied, the show is currently at 100% on (the sketchy but semi-useful) Rotten Tomatoes.
First two eps are now on Apple TV…going in now.
