I am mostly just here to read posts from people whose opinions I respect, many of whom moved from another site because it got taken over by a basket of deplorables. (He/him/his)

"Unity is not a hallmark of the Democratic Party. But if the shutdown has taught them anything, it’s that the only way to withstand this presidency is by standing together."

Yes, be angry with Senate Democrats, but don’t forget who was keeping food from hungry children.

I just voted NO on the bill that fails to prevent the looming health care crisis and fails to rein in Trump’s lawless actions, but I won’t give up — and I urge the American people to stay in the fight despite this disappointing outcome.

Chuck Schumer is not the bad guy. Blame everyone who ignored the warnings and refused to vote for Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

“…our survival used as a bargaining chip, told it was for a reason. Our suffering would prevent even more suffering and that it would be temporary and worth it to save healthcare for millions. And now it's all for nothing.”
This breaks my heart.

I can’t over emphasize how Ross Douthat’s piece makes all women less safe. It incites more harassment and abuse of women in the workplace and beyond. It’s incredibly irresponsible and frankly dangerous.
And it was run by one of the most influential publications in the country.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed.
Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing.

🧵The White House has now issued its first formal legal justification for the lethal attack on a vessel in the Caribbean.
This War Powers report to Congress is long on bluster and short on substance.
This letter does not adequately justify the premeditated killing of apparent civilians. 1/n
