Alright, the Mizzoy game was so bad online I finally deleted my Twitter acct. I've been hanging on, since I can find news updates quickly (although much harder in last 18 mo), but so many hateful comments today, called several slurs. And X admin didn't feel any of it was a concern when I reported.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.
And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
