You and any other Senate Dem voting for this CR is going to hurt kids, families, seniors…

You have leverage. Use it.

Grow a pair and be a damned opposition leader, or resign. We do not have time to ‘wait for the midterms’. These people are NOT your ‘friends across the aisle’.

Or maybe they are…

Either get Schumer and co. back in line or put out a full-throated denunciation of him. Any Senate Dem who votes for this is complicit. End the conflict avoidance. It’s midnight in Washington. We can’t wait for the midterms. Neither can you.

“Re: sotto”

This is one of the best encapsulations of how little journalistic integrity the Times now has. A direct assault on freedom of the press happens, and all they bother to put out is a mildly-worded statement of concern with no indication of action pending. The Susan Collins of the press. Cowards.

I was born the year before TNG premiered, and my dad would watch it while I sat on his lap or in front of his chair. This is the episode I have the earliest memory of. Picard is making the Sheliak wait, and he dusts the dedication plaque to pass the time. Still one of the great Picard bits.

Maybe some elected folks could hold daily press briefings to highlight how damaging this all is to the country? Maybe invite some recently fired federal employees attend to talk about their jobs? Would you know anyone who could do that?

Because it sure seems like Democratic leaders aren’t up to it.

Apparently it’s not Valentine’s Day. It’s April fool’s day?
