Same. Lying liars gotta lie.

I truly hope you're correct, but there are 3 solid votes for authoritarianism (hopefully not too much credit to Barrett and Roberts) - that's way too close for me.

Won't slow him down. And SCOTUS will agree.

This is the shit show our fellow Americans voted in. This is the fruit of 40+ years of right wing misinformation, of gerrymandering, of destruction of our educational systems, of lifting the 0.1% above working Americans. This is America now.

And let's be real - with the rethugs in the majority spending negotiations are a dead letter. The legislative Dems have no power (I mean, other than the filibuster) and the rethugs know it. Were Senate Dems wrong to worry about the complete dismantling of services in a shutdown?

So 2 years ago we were cursing Dems for not removing the filibuster (which, by the way, they couldn't have done with an evenly split Senate) - and now we curse them for not using it. Kinda confusing to this guy.

Won't happen, but if it did Mike Johnson would become president. This shit show has no end.

Probably a "request" from the Kremlin.

As have I. Already have IOUs for 2026.

Same. Please.

Remember Sanders isn't a Democrat - as an independent he isn't responsible to party leaders or whatever passes for their strategy.
