Weiss is a whiny, incompetent loser and it is ridiculous that she has failed this far upwards.
“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

Democratic officials don't seem to understand that standing up to the Republicans isn't enough--they need to stand up to their own colleagues who try to fuck over the American people, too. They don't get a pass for having a (D) after their name.

I'm sure those senators will get something lucrative for their treason, but this feels worse than just that. It honestly feels like we're being punished. For demanding better, for not voting for Cuomo, for denouncing genocide, for daring to have hope that things can materially improve.

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.
