arguing about what sort of reaction Ds had to speech is stupid, irrelevant and counterproductive. the message is clear: Ds are only ones against Mr. Crazy Pants. Now get out and organize, demand town halls (even if Rs don't show), keep on Rs case (espec Collins, Tillis in Sen)

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.
