Nate Silver never had his finger on the pulse of anything but it's wild how cooked the dude's brain is. Yeah, sure, Heather Cox Richardson is just as bonkers as the most extremist GOP members of Congress. Totally reasonable point of view there, Nate.

So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

There’s much we can debate about Dems wrongs or what they could have done, but end of the day the numbers aren’t there to magically make a minority government be in charge and its time to start treating Republicans with responsibility
"Allowing Republicans to inflict maximum pain" as if Republicans don't control all three branches of government right now.

Republicans have tried to repeal the ACA over 70 times over the last 15 years. They've had 15 years to come up with a replacement plan.
15 years later? They have no plan.
And today they voted to spike healthcare premiums for over half a million Michiganders.

Everyone working in our government now is either permanently on the offensive or struggling to explain why they are doing things. Most of the FBI probably voted for this now they get to deal with it
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

Like journalists just don’t have that dawg in them that they had when Biden was president.
If Biden misspoke it was all they talked about
Trump pardons a drug trafficker and they can’t even be bothered to look into it.
It is a choice by the MSM to not cover Trump stuff as hard as Biden.
