Note to Congressional staffers:
Some day you will want to put your experience on your resumes.
Consider the Member for whom you're working and whether you'll be proud to have done so.
Now consider the statement you'll be making if you leave because you could not in good conscience continue.

The only - and I mean only - good thing about the relentlessly malevolent actions of this administration, and the equally horrific behavior of Trump, is that we haven't had to listen to a word from Ted Cruz. The media is ignoring him.

I'm not Nostradamus, but even I knew this was coming. I just didn't think it'd be anything as petty as, "I didn't get a trophy."
At some point, and probably soon, Trump is going to try and invade another country.
He’ll find a pretext.
The question is, will Congress ever act to stop him? What will it take?

Vivek Ramaswamy. The charisma of Pierre Poilievre, blended with the fast-talking sophistry of Charlie Kirk.
Klein: Were Medicare and Medicaid mistakes?
Ramaswamy: I believe they were. With the benefit of retrospect, particularly Medicaid.

Right or wrong, it's easy to understand how people in other parts of the world have a view of the US as 1) omnipresent; 2) militaristic; and/or 3) spoiling for a fight.

Once again we're being exhorted to contact our members of Congress to express our outrage, rein Trump in, or impeach him.
I've done that many times, on many issues.
One of my senators is "concerned," the other has minimal influence.
One rep is a backbencher, the other is a lame duck.
What now?
