There's a good chance we've already passed that tipping point. What happens with the midterm elections will be telling.

It's kind of a remarkable read as an example of the fine art of simply declaring victory. Similar to how antivax activists are saying "the CDC is finally telling the truth!" because control of the .gov domain has passed to a crank and policies are changing.

Nothing has changed in vaccine science.

The purpose of the unitary exec theory is to destroy the departments & agencies implementing progressive legislation beginning with FDR w/out doing that the constitutionally correct way, by legislation. The SCOTUS-6 support the unitary exec theory to advance their ultra-right wing policy preference.

I am a constituent: thank you, Tammy! I'm sorry to say, the sooner we get rid of Dick Durbin & elect a liberal Democratic senator in Illinois the better! Tammy, you will have some influence on who runs in the primary & who is supported. Read the room, dear: we need an energetic liberal Democrat!!!
