Hear me out.. what if we replace Joe with Tony Reali. Then replace Mika with @minakimes.bsky.social and we get Jackie MacMullan, @jemelehill.bsky.social Bomani Jones and JA Adande as rotating regulars as well. We can even change the title to something catchier, like Around the Horn

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

Holy shit: the weirdo running Social Security added administrative burdens to service delivery in Maine after its Governor disagreed with Trump over trans athletes. The idea that public services should be provided consistently and honestly seems beyond them.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

Let's be honest here, the government has BEEN shut down since Jan 20. They've literally only taken away services, closed departments, and fired employees. Don't know why the Dems should pretend otherwise.
Nancy Pelosi says Schumer is wrong and the House GOP's CR is worse than a govt shutdown.
"Democrats must not buy into this false choice," she says.
"Let’s be clear: neither is a good option for the American people. But this false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable."

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown.
Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down.
Why vote to legitimize Trump's coup?
