Funny how defense bills always seem to get passed no matter what. Clearly Democrats didn't care enough about the ban being in the bill to really fight against it.
Senate passes defense bill that includes ban on gender-affirming care for minors
The bill passed, 85 to 14, despite Democratic opposition to a provision banning coverage of gender-affirming care for the transgender children of military service members.

There is no "common ground" so it should backfire on them.
Every Democratic official saying they are trying to find "common ground" with Trump is saying they are turning their back on every person and community Trump will be targeting as President in order to further their own political self-interest.

Great article. I pretty much knew that people were going to be fooled by the gerrymandering thing and sadly they were. There was also the fact that they didn't budget for Medicaid expansion until forced to if I'm not mistaken despite our vote for that.

Just fucking devastating.
BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.

Yes, he should get it done. We don't need Trump going on another killing spree.
Annoying and embarrassing that Biden hasn’t already commuted the sentences of everyone on federal death row, especially after *running* on a pledge to end the death penalty. This really isn’t complicated, you don’t need Congress, you don’t need anyone else’s permission. Get it done.
