Senator Rob Portman is both slow-rolling the confirmation of Alejandro Mayorkas—despite the fact that Trump’s acting head of DHS has resigned—and proposing a “blue-ribbon” commission on fabricated voter fraud... {Internal Screaming} thebulwark.com/the-attack-on-…

Rob Portman's response to an attack on the Capitol and looming threats to the Inauguration is to delay the confirmation of Biden's choice for Homeland Security.

It pains me that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 are often positioned as opposite sides of the same "extreme wing of the party" coin. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is smart, thoughtful and progressive only in the context of the right-leaning U.S. political spectrum. Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 is a racist nut.

This is 20% about punishing Cheney and 80% about sending a message to the rest of the GOP.

This is so true. I am constantly amazed by the cowardice. I shouldn't be at this point, but I am.

I never thought I’d serve with a braver colleague than John Lewis. Then Thomas Massie stood up and refused to order takeout from DC. Fight on, Thomas! We shall overcome!

Senator Rob Portman is as pro-Ukrainian as his absolute fealty to President Trump allows him to be.

There are 2 stories begging to be told in a comprehensive way that the major networks have missed: 1) The sweeping efforts of Trump & Co. to overturn the 2020 election; and 2) The radicalization of the Republican Party and how we got here (Citizens United, gerrymandering, etc.)

True, but I'd add: Only a fraction of this leaks through the right wing information ecosystem of Fox News and Q-Anon, and even then only through the grievance prism.

Whenever you hear a Republican claim we can't afford Social Security, Medicare or public education, think about this and their decades-long plan to make the rich richer at our expense.

This @ap tweet is an instant candidate for the Museum of American Fascism. Carve it in stone and put it over the entrance. It should be an enduring source of burning shame and embarrassment for the entire organization, as well as a warning to other media.

You can't say that the future of American democracy is at stake and then tell anyone concerned about the debate last night to stop bed wetting or grow a spine. It's fucking insulting to people who care deeply about the country and know how much is on the line.

Reminder: Trump-Vance is crazy beatable. They're freaks. Dems are rocking downballot, winning specials, polling great in swing states. We just need to change the top of the ticket. We have the time and alternatives. All we lack is courageous leaders willing to call for change.

JD Vance is a repulsive fraud who thinks you’re stupid and it would be so nice to have a candidate capable of articulating that message, or any message, or anything really

I respect MSW for all she has done, but she currently represents a trend among base Dems to reflexively attack the messenger (media) and dismiss unpleasant polls, and it's a problem. Be discerning, but just rejecting information you don't like means you're not listening to voters

A screed from me: Biden’s team promised that they’d contrast “a candidate that cares about you vs. a candidate that cares about himself.” For the last three weeks they’ve delivered the latter. “Enough with the Biden Psychodrama.” thebulwark.com/p/enough-with-…

There is perhaps no bigger or more consequential untruth in American politics than the false belief that the economy does better when Republicans are in power.
