What act will change this play? Redrum? Who gets the needle for saving our democracy? Without the rule of law, there isn't anything worth saving, just your ability to breath. SCOTUS must be forced to reverse themselves or there just isn't anything but "force through violence" left to us.

Watching the odious Richard Grenell, new boss of Kennedy Center, under relentless grilling by @amnanawaz.bsky.social on PBS NewsHour

Keeps referring to "the then-Kennedy Center."

This guy needs to be bracketed w Stephen Miller and Russell Vought in annals of our times.

Sen. Jack Reed: "This is really outrageous. Mark Kelly is a veteran, he's fought in combat, he's an astronaut. And even was simply repeated what the law is. If a US senator can't do that, then this country is in profound difficulty."

In a democracy why is “a vote on the senate floor” considered a WIN?

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Within a day or two, the Republicans were going to have to choose between (a) conceding the ACA subsidies, (b) nuking the filibuster, or (c) allowing air travel to descend into total chaos.

The Dems, fresh off big election victories, let the GOP off the hook.

This is beyond betrayal.

NEW: It appears Senate Dems have enough votes for cloture with Jacky Rosen flipping to a yes vote. Rand Paul voted no. Kaine, Rosen, Fetterman, Shaheen, Hassen, King, Durbin, Cortez-Masto are the dems yes votes.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

There is no way to understand what is happening around SNAP without talking about the deep and pervasive stigma against being poor in America.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.
