These people are so foul that it made a cold day in hell possible: I agreed with Karl Rove about something.
I’d love for any one of these so-called “pure American” spouting bigots to take a class in US immigration history, since they have failed to grasp the most basic facts of our country’s history. And I’d really love for their supporters to wake up to the fact that anyone who isn’t white, Christian, straight, cisgender, and male isn’t welcome by the current GOP. (Women only welcome as barbie doll arm-candy or trad wives, it seems.)
May the GOP never ever recover from the legacy of what they are sowing.

Never "misunderestimate" the power of institutionalism within the Democratic leadership in the House and Senate. Schumer/Jeffries will quickly take the air out of the rank-and-file ready to do serious battle with trump and the MAGA contagion, with an eye toward the SV technogarchy who may be changing sides as to which party gets showered with billions in "campaign contributions", aka bribes.
TBH, the only way a supine Congress aggressively reclaims its Art. I powers is to deep-six current party leaders and embrace a Dem-led, ultra-partisan restoration of fundamental Congressional authority to govern, full
stop.
A few noisy hearings, pummeling trump allies and his corrupt family members, may attract eyeballs, but crafting legislation — assuming a Dem House and Senate after midterm elections — is the best and only way to establish bonafides heading toward 2028...and these steps must include dumping the filibuster!
Sure, trump will veto bills, but so what. A demonstrable showing of a will for change is the least a new Congress can accomplish, and show the electorate that the Democrats mean business — the People's business.
What is the first thing the democratic senators should do if they take back the Senate? Elect a new leader who will not just write strongly worded letters, who will take strong action to hold the current administration accountable, and who will lead a newly energized majority to enact a bold agenda.
I’m concerned with the aftermath, as well. Good job sounding the alarm. Hope people realize that the BBB will drop devastating cuts right after the midterms and misinformed people will be confused and manipulated . It’ll be our challenge to explain.
Eh. I’m past the point of expecting the continuing blue tsunami that started last November and I presume the Ds get at least one congressional majority.
But whatever I also expect is unimaginable shit pulling by the administration post-election day. You know: J6 on crack.
Home I’m wrong but, you know, there’s an insane person with near limitless power and an insane thing re hurt feelings…
Y si te descuidás, del mundo o de una parte, al menos. Si TRump no se hubiera metido en Argentina, hoy no tendríamos el Senado apoyando a Milei, Bolivia tendría un fiscal indagando a Cerimedo, Chile no tendría a un tonto como Kast, Flavio Bolsonaro no estaría a punto de ser el presidente de Brasil, y así podría seguir ... muy corrupto y corruptor!

Trump is committed to immortalizing himself in monuments.HOWEVER he will only be immortalized as the most corrupt politician EVER
And this is a message the Democrats have to push hard

That’s what we thought in 2016, too. Remember “expanding the map”?
Breath held for the next few weeks
