I wholeheartedly believe that at least some democrats would vote for cloture just to be “bipartisan.” They have no courage, no conviction.

Fun fact! The reason these pirates were working on Labor Day is because “Labor Day” is a distinctly US/Canadian phenomenon, born, at least in part, of Grover Cleveland’s desire to legitimize a “let’s have a parade!” holiday and obscure a “never forget the Haymarket martyrs; keep fighting” holiday.
Happy Dickfuck Day!!!
And also happy No One Remembers That Jim Speaks Spanish Even Though We Found Out In A Shocking Way 4 Hours Ago Day to those who celebrate!

30 years ago, we did. They were called "local newspapers."
Then the Telecom Act of 1996 allowed essentially unlimited corporate consolidation of media outlets and they killed off local news in the space of a single generation.

Imagine if we had a newsroom in every county that focused on municipal meetings.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re thinking of starting a newsroom in your community, you should do it.

Covid was already circulating in the US population in January of 2020. I know because I had it, and so did all my coworkers at once. It took until March for the government to admit it was here and allow people to get tested at all.

Seems like a good time to remind folks that Trump fired the Pandemic Response Team, whose job was early detection of pandemic potential and swift control to prevent pandemics, if at all possible, in 2018.
And then ALSO bungled the response by suppressing testing & quarantine to put the lid back on.

Not to mention that it’s endemic now. Not only did he not put a lid on then, but now we probably never can. This disease could be with us for thousands of years, and I will blame every one of those deaths on Donald Trump. May my grandchildren’s grandchildren’s grandchildren spit on his grave.
To say that Trump is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths is not an exaggeration; it’s a deep understatement.
There was a moment when we could’ve put a lid on Covid. Other than the first, idk, 10(?), people who had recently been in China, I blame him for ALL of those deaths. Well over 1M.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Trump and RFK Jr. are _personally_ responsible for tens of thousands of deaths even before this administration.
