A lot of good ideas here. I wish this included limiting any President’s ability to arbitrarily fire a majority of federal employees from agencies OR move an ageny’s headquarters without congressional approval. Ridiculous that he can do that. @merkley.senate.gov www.ms.now/news/democra...

Every Democrat should refer to Blanche—once Republicans confirm him—as Consigliere Blanche instead of Attorney General.

So many Southerners (when I lived in the South) refused to accept that slavery was a major cause behind the Civil War. “It was about states’ rights,” they’d say. Yep, the right to own slaves. 🙄 They refused to acknowledge their ancestors were responsible for the horrors of slavery.

Yep. Collins votes No when she knows it won’t matter. There will be enough cowardly Republicans voting Yes for her No vote to not change the outcome, but it makes her LOOK like she has principles. It’s all for show. Wake up, Maine voters & shut this show down!!

Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.

Yeah the further integration with Bibi's military control will bring nothing good to America. Militarily they have continually fucked with us, moving too soon (Stuxnet), too fast, engaging us in things we didn't ask for and vetoing things we should have full control over.

Americans have long been told Republicans are better for the economy. But postwar data shows real GDP grew far faster under Democratic presidents, while average federal deficits—the borrowing that adds to the debt—were larger under Republicans. Don't believe myths - believe data #Economy #USPolitics
