This whole thing about being “institutional” about “working across the aisle” with a party that DOES NOT act in good faith: look what that got this country with Merrick Garland.

David Ellison wants us to know he’s not ideological, and that’s why he put a conservative with no tv experience in charge of CBS

Schumer is not the man for the moment. America is about to be shocked at the Criminal Corruption Blanche is about to unload. Especially around the Election. It will Shock the World in fact!
McConnell is dead, just waiting for confirmation. I too, blame Beshear for at least not seizing the narrative. @cherijacobus.bsky.social

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"
In case you don't remember... She disappeared from office, nobody noticed, nobody said anything. Her staff proceeded as normal, as though she was still there For 5 months until a constituent recognized her as a dementia patient living in a nursing home Mitch isn't the first time GOP has done this
Why are Republicans more energized to vote in November than Dems? I hope it's because they plan to vote blue. And Chuck Edwards (R-NC) is about to be censured by the full House as his congressional seat migrates from Likely R, to Lean R, to Toss-up to, hopefuly a Big Blue Win!
