From the bad place. Guess we'll see how this all turns out.
Pinned
I've finally figured this place out. Dems are feckless do-nothings who rely on interviews, letters, and performative DOA bills so they don't have to fight. Progressives are trailblazers who use interviews and social media to talk to the masses, and file messaging bills so ppl know they're fighting.
The only remotely positive thing I can say about MTG is that she is a supremely effective attention whore.
“I really just want to see people be kind to one another." Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has built a brand on confrontation and incendiary rhetoric, told CNN she now wants to “put down the knives in politics.”

Tell me again that Democrats have a "messaging problem".
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

And suddenly the far left will be fans of MTG.
"Look, I dont agree with her on most things but anyone who is against Israel is okay in my book."

Again - she's still a gigantic piece of shit. She's just a peace of shit who is now - temporarily - at odds with Trump over 1 issue. Just 1.

BASH: Are you saying Israel is pushing Trump to cover up the Epstein files?
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No. I simply just asked out loud
BASH: You had AIPAC up there. It's pretty clear which govt you were talking about
MTG: I'm questioning that govt in particular & questioning any other foreign govt

I'm actually shocked. Good on Dana Bash for asking the question, and I genuinely would not have expected Greene to answer the way she did.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

I just want to go ahead and put it out there right now: if it turns out Biden, Clinton, Sanders, or any other Democrat is implicated in any Epstien-related document, I want their asses thrown in prison. I dont care how old or infirm they are.
This goes for "liberal" celebs, too.

Anyway, every single person like “the fact that there were only 8 proves there were more, the fact that Schumer voted against it proves he supported it, the fact that 39 Dem senators are angry about it means they are lying to you” is trying to spread their fear & misery. You don’t have to let them.
Whether you think Democrats should have pushed the shutdown further or not, at this point you have control over whether *you* give up, and a lot of you have decided that yessir you absolutely will.

At the end of the day, the government was going to reopen. I'd have preferred a more concrete concession from Republicans than a promise to have a vote on ACA subsidies, but frankly there has never been a shutdown that resulted in the majority giving the minority a legislative win. (cont.)...

Assuming the leaked "deal goes through", Republicans in the Senate will vote categorically not to extend the ACA tax credits, which will guarantee huge insurance rate increases for millions of people, and the loudest voices on our side will be tearing down dems instead of excoriating Republicans.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.
The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Guys.
It isn’t up to Republicans whether we have elections or not.
They’re a cult. And they know their cult leader will torpedo them in the primary if they don’t try to kill children.
Said cult leader is term limited and all cognitively limited.
Stop handing them power they don’t have.
Stop it.

It’s shit like this that makes me think the GOP doesn’t care about winning elections and they’re just not planning on having them. Because no one who thinks they have to win elections does this.
They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

See this right here? This is why it took until the eve of the election for Trump to get a trial date. Not because Garland or Biden slow-rolled anything. Not because Smith didnt do his job. But because Trump had the money to buy lawyers to appeal everything. Every little ruling was a 3 month delay.
