Aside from writing brilliantly, he also points out what we've been missing in the sturm and drang of our political chaos.

"...Democrats have tools to grind Senate business to a halt to delay and defy the Trump-Musk coup... Blanket opposition, quorum calls, and blocking unanimous consent — parliamentary guerrilla tactics that can slow, stall, and obstruct at every turn.”

Of all the hare-brained thing I've ever read, a person writing about Trump concluded that he wouldn't ignore the courts, as that would be (wait for it) a MISTAKE.
If you think anything is going to restrain the Orange Shitgibbon, I want some of what you've been smoking.

Want to do something to HELP?
PHONE your senator & tell them to OBJECT to unanimous consent, and to vote NO on cloture, always.
Make the GOP work for it, and waste their time on things that will slow them down, like McConnell did to Dem judicial appointments.

It's about more "tax cuts."

It is completely unsurprising to me how many of Trump and Musk's actions tend to give them more money at the expense of everyone else. What I despair of is that so many idiots in this country don' see it. How blatant do they need to be?
