Trans rights are human rights. Woman's rights are human rights. Human rights for all or they will be for none. Reparations are owed.

it's funny that Trump is the only guy who can take a cave and make it into a even Greater L
Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

If Trump’s going to go full Mad King mode on SNAP like this, the optics of the Democrats caving to try to protect people are significantly better than anyone’s assuming, imo
Wait did...they not get what they wanted last night? What is happening?

BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

They are literally a death cult and come December will vote to decimate healthcare subsidies for millions of people.

like, "i am very angry unless something which i rate as being very low-probability was the actual motivation for people who cannot disclose their motivation to me" is cope 99% of the time, but sometimes Manchin spikes the IRA, gets (R)s to vote CHIPS, and then resurrects the IRA.
i think that there are reasons which would take a very long time to explain why forcing a very short CR and banning RIFs on a rolling basis would be a good move for non-5D reasons but i do not think that that argument would be ripe until it had happened three or so times
every single time the senate does something disgraceful, including things they know are disgraceful and try to hide that they are doing, people come up with some ridiculous story about why it's a 5d chess move and we should trust the plan
