“This is my ward! This is my ward!” Rodriguez (22nd) chirps back as Sigcho-Lopez (25th) grills Gov., saying, “the State Police are arresting protesters.”

“They’re protecting our protesters,” Gov. JB Pritzker responds.

"Yes you're allowed to gang tackle a dog while playing basketball, go check the rules"
there are a lot of Dems out there who are finally drafting their own dog to play basketball after being dunked on over and over again instead of just complaining to the refs

they're just in the states instead of DC
This is really something. Trump/GOP efforts to rig midterms running into serious trouble

The Constitutional remedy for all of this is impeachment. It's as simple as that.

If you're looking around thinking "if Trump & the Republicans cause enough suffering, there will be backlash & accountability," I would direct your attention to the UK. Hard to think of any country in history so clearly, demonstrably, theatrically fucked by a single party ... and yet.
The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.
I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

So many things get me about the roll over, show belly capitulation from the Senate. And one of them is that the promise of a future vote in the Senate isn't even the promise (ha!) of future *passage* of an ACA bill because House would have to deliver same promise.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Our Executive Director Keira Havens @highcountryrose.bsky.social swore an oath to the Constitution as a member of the military. Congress swears an oath to the Constitution, too.

Remind them of it: Integrity first. Service before self.

They have a responsibility that they are shirking.

IMPEACH.
To Congress:

"Integrity first, folks.

You swore this oath.

Do the right thing.

Service before self.

You don't think you're going to get re-elected if you vote for impeachment? That is your own problem, folks.

You have a responsibility to uphold to the American people."

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Tish James said Lis Smith worked as an operative for Cuomo, ruining the lives of the women who came forward about Andrew’s alleged harassment.

Why are @democrats.org like Mallory McMorrow still working with her? This is a reflection ON THEM as CANDIDATES.

We got a notice just yesterday that our premium was going up by $300 and the deductible our going up by 50%, just because. It’s already bad overpriced insurance but the only affordable option to keep our kid’s pediatrician (who has been vital to his health issues). Great work by everyone involved.

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

3. We need to move back as soon as we can to fighting Trump, united and forceful, as the voters who gave us that big win Tuesday expect. Getting back to that fight is how we keep building momentum.
