Of all the stupid arguments I've seen on this site, "Leave the Democrats alone, they are doing everything they can!" has to be the dumbest.
They are not, by any stretch of the imagination, doing "all they can.

they're doing it for gender, imo
It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

sure sure you can have hegemony by trade, ideology and cultural influence, but does that make your dick hard?

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

An official NYT response means this is clearly a sore spot for them and people should keep hitting the target

I mean it’s the perfect contrast: decorated combat vet and astronaut vs lawless fascists. Maybe the “click here to donate” team can sit this one out.

What the Trump admin is doing to Mark Kelly is wrong and it would have been nice if the Democrats took the moral high ground instead of a cynical “this is good for donations” take.

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

In college we had a meningitis outbreak. One girl died and several people got really sick and the only reason more didn’t was because it was between terms. It was fucking terrifying. And that’s a rare one! The rest of these are so much more common! These people are so evil.
The CDC changed the universal vaccine schedule & no longer recommends
Rotavirus
Hepatitis A & B
Meningitis
Influenza
RSV
I’ve cared for previously healthy kids who died from RSV, influenza and meningitis.
We all are going to be caring for a lot more now.
In our already overflowing hospitals

My position on impeachment is the same as it was six months ago: Impeachment is first about driving public attention to Trump’s crimes and corruption.
Democrats should introduce impeachment articles and force votes to boost their parallel media effort.
Performative public investigations matter.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.

He does just tell you what he wants. And he does it.
