He said it perfectly. If the moderate won, headlines would be Democrats reject left. Progressive wins? Democrats divided.

If Stevens won they would not print that moderates didn’t get the big election night they wanted, they would print that moderates have struck back and reasserted their place leading the party

* It's unreal how terrible Trump's nominees are * DURBIN: You wrote, 'Feminists advanced a theory that rape is meant to perpetuate male domination.' Do you still oppose Violence Against Women Act? CANDEUB: I haven't really thought it D: In 2023 you did an interview & decried harassment laws ...

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Rape is the central pillar of the right-wing agenda, the right to terrorize other people in the most intimate way possible.

Don't look at our Iran war, look at Medicaid. Classic misdirection.

Rick Scott on spending: "Government is the problem. It's not the Iran war." (Who is waging the Iran war?)

Sen. Cynthia Lummis says on her crypto bill that "the president agreed to an ethics provision that no president has ever agreed to. He's gone further to protect ethics than any president in history, yet the Democrats want more." 🙃

Hoooooooo boy

Cornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃

Maybe I'm missing something but shouldn't somebody have benn watching the Ukraine War and, you know, taken notes?

"The Army has used up 'virtually all' of its stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran, raising concerns about the military's readiness for future conflicts"

If you know it's weaponization and you still support it, you're part of it. Period.

Kristy Greenberg@kristygreenberg.bsky.social · yesterday

Stop the false equivalence. No other President sued his own government to secure immunity for himself and his family, created a fund to reward cop beaters, and demanded prosecution of his political enemies. Trump’s weaponization of DOJ is unprecedented and you just endorsed it.

I think the "I am just a smoll bean" joke is overdone, but the Senate of the United States can't do anything to rein in the President is that joke.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

They acknowledge extremism and danger with their words, yet when it comes time to vote, they reach out to compromise without hesitation.

it’s actually crazy how every Republican who claims they will stand up to Trump is just a total cuck with a humiliation fetish

Schiff: "The president is entitled to his own views about me or anybody else. He is not entitled, however, to use the DOJ to go after his political opponents. The day we say that's ok and the day we confirm an AG who says that's ok is the day the rule of law becomes merely an unenforceable idea."

A wonderful day has begun. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Trump and the Republicans spend all day shouting about protecting children, yet when faced with concrete evidence in the Epstein case and the flow of billions in funds, they were quicker than anyone else to cover it up.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · yesterday

NEWS: For nearly 20 years, Epstein moved over $1B through the major banks. The banks looked away. Sen. Wyden’s 3-year probe exposes it all. But most damning? How Trump and the GOP tried to bury it.

Cornyn: "Given this agreement with Mr Blanche, I expect the DOJ to live up to this in future litigation and I will vote to advance him out of the committee today"

And yet, they keep doing it even after he made this post.

Todd Blanche’s nomination to formally lead the Department of Justice appears to be back on track after two Republican holdouts signed off on a deal giving President Donald Trump and his family immunity from Internal Revenue Service audits. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Todd Blanche appears to be on track to lead the DOJ after Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) agreed to the plan.
