The “I haven’t followed it closely” line is becoming a little too convenient for Hakeem and his fellow Democrats.
Media needs to push back. These politicians do not live under a rock.
Do you support a Nazi-sympathizer? The answer is unequivocally no.
Do you support a woman abuser? The answer is unequivocally no.
I miss real intentional walks. The crowd booing, the .01% chance something weird would happen, the batter giving off “Yeah, I knew you didn’t want any this” vibes. If you want to walk a guy you should at least have to look like pussies for 30 seconds. It was good.
In fairness, she’s right on principle.
The filibuster rules are messed up. Republicans get to block bills to protect voting rights but Democrats can’t block GOP tax bills.
That’s one reason why it needs to go.
Bizarre moment at the Michigan Senate debate after Haley Stevens says “the filibuster must go.”
She adds that Democrats “should use the filibuster to not allow the big ugly bill to pass that increased our debt.”
Pressed on whether she opposes or supports using the filibuster, Stevens says: “We should remove the filibuster so Democrats could have voted down the legislation, the tax bill.”
That is not how the filibuster works.
Removing it allows all Senate bills to pass at 51 votes. It would not have allowed Democrats to stop Trump’s tax bill, which was already exempt from the filibuster.
Rep. @JohnLarsonCT is Social Security's #1 champion in the U.S. House.
That's why billionaires and their handpicked candidate, Luke Bronin, are so determined to defeat him.
But Rep. Larson isn't backing down — and he's going to defeat the billionaires.
This race is turning out to be more about working people versus corporate billionaires than it is abount generational change.
Bad sign for Bronin. Especially since he starts down 25 points.
Former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin secured the Democratic endorsement for Connecticut’s 1st District in a historic upset to incumbent Rep. John Larson, a working-class progressive with a storied record of taking on corporate power. https://t.co/PRsCIVSc8V
