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.

Here is Trump’s appalling, discriminatory attempt to subvert the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
“[T]he PSLF Program has misdirected tax dollars into activist organizations that not only fail to serve the public interest, but actually harm our national security and American values ….”

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays.
That's better than any private insurance company.

Anyone who has studied the fascism, violence and pogroms of the post-reconstruction era of America would know that white humiliation / Black progress has long been this country’s ticking time bomb.
The historical parallels are 1920s Oklahoma, not 1930s Germany.
But this history is often buried.

Who would have predicted that America's dystopia and increasingly-likely destruction as a viable democracy would be set in motion by a Black named Obama roasting a WATB (at the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner), when Trump had already been joke fodder for New York City tabloids for *decades*

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The thing about “patriotic education” is that if you have to lie about America to love it then you probably don’t really love it. Ultimately their objection to the flawed universalism expressed in the declaration is the idea that the flaws were bad or that the universalism should be realized.

one of the things i hate most about "originalism" as a supposed methodology is that the practice of it rests on the idea that it takes the specialized knowledge of a special elite to be able to understand the plain language of the constitution.
