I'm not even certain what they're saying.

Thanks for the preview of what democrats' reaction will be when people aren't happy with the next capitulation.

Optimism would be a denial of decades of hard work by the party.

Yeah. Hispanic and anti-genocide. This will be used by the trump administration to go after people they already hate.

Do you suppose that matters?

We'll see what happens when it gets to the Senate. Will they filibuster it? Probably not. Will some democratic senators vote for it? I think it's likely.

I wonder what the excuses will be.

That thousand yard stare.

I expect them to filibuster everything. They have filibustered nothing. In Cory Booker's case, he literally filibustered nothing. His "filibuster" blocked no specific legislation or appointee.

 

Democratic Sens. Richard Durbin (Ill.), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) and Brian Schatz (Hawaii) (Nev.) all voted "yes" in addition to Schumer, — as did Maine's Angus King, an Independent who caucuses with Democrats.

 

In each of the separate lawsuits state regulators filed, dozens of internal communications, documents and research data were redacted — blacked-out from public view — since authorities entered into confidentiality agreements with TikTok.

But in one of the lawsuits, filed by the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office, the redactions were faulty. This was revealed when Kentucky Public Radio copied-and-pasted excerpts of the redacted material, bringing to light some 30 pages of documents that had been kept secret.

 

The stars at night are big and bright.
