Agree with this.

About to publish something on the airplane mess. But this too is ON THE REPUBS. It is not a reason to cave. Dems, it is a time to keep standing up.
Opening the government with no concessions from GOP merely to alleviate airline cancellations - when Congress has been dragging its feet for years on chronic FAA staffing issues - is a lame ass choice.

Also, doing it while the House refuses to work is appalling.

The President of the United States said, on TV today, that the U.S. should have a justice system more like China's, with quick trials that happen the next day. And most of the media decided that wasn't news, because .... you know what he's like.

Hey media, it looks like you’re feeling guilty these days bcuz you didn’t cover, in real time, Biden’s cognitive decline. Well I have a great way you can make up for it:

RIGHT NOW, IN REAL TIME, COVER TRUMP’S COGNITIVE DECLINE.

Don’t make the same mistake twice. Thanks media.

Honestly, that was the best way they could honor Mrs. Graham. Their presence would have debased her legacy.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way.

Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s.

Have you learned NOTHING?

Not. One. Vote.

Apparently Thomas Goldstein believes that the charges against Trump -- the federal ones of which Kamala Harris couldn't discuss -- were front and center during the election.

Journos ROUTINELY quoted Trump's claims of witch hunts w/o correction.
Are you kidding me with this?

Every report on RFKJr focuses on his anti-vax anti-public health ideas - dangerous, yes. BUT none are focusing on the fact that he has repeatedly used antisemitic tropes (& anti-Asian, when talking about Covid specifically). I am so bothered by this. PEOPLE HE'S NOT JUST A WACKO HE'S A BAD MAN.
