Eight non-Black senators caved & Chuck Schumer likely played a role in that cave too. But lily-white Michelle Cottle thinks the Black man is the problem. I'm so beyond tired of this bullsh*t.

For those of you who've wondered what's wrong with Ezra Klein, Karla nails it. He's aware enough to be truly distressed that the country is in crisis, but not yet able to take a can opener to his prior assumptions to figure out how we got here or what to do about it.
He’s doing emotional processing in public and passing it off as political analysis.

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.

One of the differences between Trump 1.0 & Trump 2.0 is that there are fewer John Paul II & Benedict XVI bishops in the U.S. & more Francis (and obviously) Leo bishops. And that's making a difference in a stronger pushback to Trump by the Catholic Church this time.

What would the point be of another Trump impeachment when he’s a lame duck and Rs won’t convict him?
Dems need an answer for the remnant of resistance people who are demanding impeachment but far more important for them to use normal Oversight powers effectively.
