DC attorney. My politics are Elizabeth Warren.
"[T]here’s been endless hand-wringing about whether Democrats turned off salt-of-the-earth, diner-going Americans by not loudly condemning calls to defund the police. In the wake of Republicans’ weak showing on Tuesday, the political press should lavish similar attention on the ways the fringe right has alienated normal people." 🎯 @michelle https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/09/opinion/republicans-midterms-abortion.html
Opinion | Republicans Did Not Read the Room

It turns out that voters care about abortion and democracy after all.

It's now 673 days since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. Not only has Trump not been charged, he's out on campaign trail trying elect others who support fascism and who have sworn absolute loyalty to Trump. Time for Merrick Garland to INDICT TRUMP!!
If Republicans get a narrow House majority, Democrats would be wise to do something about the debt limit before the end of the year. They have a tool to use: the FY2023 reconciliation bill.

Reconciliation Is Available to End Debt Limit Hostage-Taking

With the GOP likely to take over the House, Democrats can use the lame duck to effectively eliminate the debt limit and the leverage Republicans would wield.

Biden canceled a mere $10k in student debt relief—it didn't even hit people's accounts yet and youth turnout soared, preventing Dems from losing key seats across the country.

Imagine what full, unilateral and immediate cancelation would do.

Imagine if he canceled medical debt.

He's not a sitting President.
We're not near an election.
He's not a candidate for President.

He did accept help from Russia.
He did incite an insurrection.
He did steal nuclear documents.

Why is he still not charged?

He was a POTUS. Do not let him become a dictator.

Yay, Robert Reich is here!

I know the D's are quasi-celebrating, and they should be relieved there was no red wave. But check out my latest: The Big Lie/Jan 6 crazies will likely control half of Congress. What does that mean? Please read & share. And feel free to @ me on this one.

The party of January 6 appears to have taken the House. Prepare for the crazy.

MAGA extremists are close to a form of minority rule.
