Apparently the Transportation bill that look at me MTG got that amendment on, is dead in the water because there aren’t enough vote for it…

But, she’ll go on ever right outlet can spewing this “ achievement”


It’s a darn good thing that they elected such a strong leader… the shutdown will be long and nasty

And I like today’s revelation that reason Johnson isn’t reporting an savings account is because his money isn’t in interest earning ones.. because that isn’t shady at all

If the Democrats really wanted that though, it would be smarter to direct spending to winnable states.  Instead Democrats keep passing bills (like the IRA and IIJA) where the benefits go predominantely to red states and where they won't get credit no matter what they do. Trump did just the opposite; the bills that has pased going overwhelmingly to his base and targeted his oponents (SALT for example).



this is 100% accurate.
Apparently, the IRA is going to benefit states like FL and TX so much, that these states almost don't have to collect taxes there will be so much in the coffer
and not one Red voter in those states will 'reward' the dems for this largesse

but I'm not sure I agree this is what the Dems should do, but it wouldn't hurt to do some 'good things' for the 8 battleground states in the next year

it's all for show and saying they 'did something' when the reality is they did nothing
if it's not going to even pass the house, it's like shouting into the void (or your preferred echo chamber)

Jill's back!

Jill Stein announced that she is running for president in 2024 as a Green Party candidate.

finally, a candidate that NKOTB can support


well there is Claudia de la Cruz but has attained ballot lines in any states.
so that works out perfectly

I actually have never voted for Jill Stein, which may surprise Hutch.  She kind of lost my interest when she started talking some 9/11 truther-adjacent stuff a few years back.  I hadn't seen that she was running again, but I guess that's because Cornel West went from the People's Party (lol) to the Green and then as an independent.

Claudia de la Cruz seems pretty great IMO, but yeah, I don't think PSL gets on the ballot here.  I feel like they were on the DC ballot in 2020, but I might be mistaken. 

All in all, pretty grim!

Well, that hypothetical is impossible so why waste time contemplating it?

One might as well ask what if pigs could fly would that be so bad?

I mean progressives would never vote for him and neither would black people. And there is no way he would peel off enough Republican votes.

The American middle is smaller than ever so this type of run is not plausible. Honestly a Biden primary challenge from the left flank is the most plausible scenario. But it would have to have been AOC and thankfully she is still too young! Hard to believe. Someone like a Bernie but much younger and a female minority could have been a threat….now it’s too late.

Also, is a 76 year old white man the right person to challenge Biden and / or Trump?
