Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin listened to criticism of how the Gavin nomination was handled, but his approach was one of apology and emotion compared to the swagger he displayed on Monday evening,...

I’m sorry, “the vice president’s mother was a drug addict so we’re allowed to just extrajudicially murder anyone we vaguely handwave as being part of a cartel” is a real argument people are making? in public? under their own names?

I would like Trump's letter to Brazil to live on as one of the important primary source documents of the Trump era, linking trade restrictions in historical memory to impunity for criminal behavior, right-wing nationalist authoritarian politics, coups, domestic illegality, and simple illiteracy.

At a key cloture vote in the Senate fight for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Democrats wheeled in Sen. Clair Engle, who was dying from a brain tumor.
He’d lost the ability to speak, so when the Clerk called his name, he simply pointed to his eye.
And the clerk said: “Senator Engle, aye.”

Apparently Al Green (no, not *that* Al Green, the one in the House) was wheeled in after having surgery. Still don't know whether Dems planned it all day and successfully baited Johnson. Perhaps C-SPAN could invite Admiral Ackbar on for his expertise on such things.
Gotta wonder whether Dems withheld Al Green's vote all day as a trap.
