The sheep, out of hatred for the rabbits, voted for the wolf to preside over the farm. They all died. Even the chickens, who didn't vote.

Murkowski is a weasel and a wimp.........and not ever trustworthy in pre-vote conversations. She's CRACO all the way. Talk talk talk.... and fold fold fold.

The NYT's said it correctly: we have TACO and CRACO (Congressional Republicans Always Chicken Out)! You just knew Murkowski was going to fold. When is the last time she actually voted against a Republican bill? She just plays tough... gets concessions (pork and exemptions)..... and caves.

My son asked me "how do you know if someone isn't qualified to be in Congress". I said,"well, one clue might be if they can't name the three Branches of Government." Instead we have morons like Tommy Tuberville elected because he was a football coach! The US system has become a joke. A bad joke.

Again we have a repeated example of so-called deficit hawks saying they're going to obstruct and not vote for a House bill sure to raise the national debt, sure to mainly benefit the rich and and also raise the load on the lower classes-who then vote for it. It's bait and switch again. Disgusting.

The NYT has taken to hiding behind their paywalls I guess. Reporting the actual truth and actual events has taken a back seat.They've been on my questionable list ever since they supported Bush's invasion of Iraq despite no evidence. What a shame. What news sources in America tell the truth anymore?

Well obviously the Hand's Off protests won't phase the Orange Fungus much but if it can change any Republican congress person's vote then it's worth it. What any of them say in support means nothing until they back it up with a an actual vote! We'll see.

Getting hung up on "what your pronouns are" seems to me a privileged argument that the poor, the ignored, and the suppressed don't have the energy to contest. This sort of upper class intellectualism contributed to the Maga election of the Orange fungus, IMO.

I think there are strong vocal leaders in the Democratic party but the conservative, or fearful, media simply won't give them equal airtime. Eric Alterman's 2003 book "What Liberal Media" is never more true than now. The media has been sabotaged, systematically, by the ultra right since before 2003.

I have to say I was surprised by Cory Booker. He always seemed like a light-weight to me before. I'm reconsidering that opinion. Definitely impressed by him now.

I expect more Republican congress members to speak out about the foolishness of tariffs........ but until they back it up with voting against them (which they have the power to stop) it means nothing.

Tariff mania only reinforces why I'm glad I moved to Costa Rica 14 years ago after GB was elected the second time. Now I live on a mountain with gardens, a view of the ocean, and no air pollution. I feel like I got lucky and left Germany in 1930 somehow.

Yeah it’s not just the corruption. It’s the way individual people are demeaned, hurt and afraid. It’s bullying at its worst. Maddening.
My friend said she and her mom agreed not to speak Spanish to each other in public anymore. Oh man, that hit hard.
I’m so sorry this is who we’ve become.

What I want to know is why is there only one Bishop asking Trump to have mercy on people? Seems like a trait that Jesus, among others, would advocate for without hesitation. Appears like what we need is more female Bishops. Not less.
