I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

This is what happens when an illiterate klansman is in the WH.
A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants.

This is apparently the closest the New York Times can get to saying what is really happening -- Republicans are trying to steal an election for state Supreme Court justice by throwing out 60,000 lawful votes.

The criminal justice system failed to hold Trump accountable. It is not true that the powerful stand before the same bar of justice and no one is above the law.
Norms will not protect us. We need to build a new opposition hardened by reality and prepared to fight with every legal tool available.

It is incredible to me that there is literally no leadership whatsoever from the Biden or Harris camps.
There is no guidance, no plan, nothing.
Even the DNC chair is radio silent.
I am shocked by it.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
