Minority party fails to stop majority. You should notice that the two agents Politico included in this headline (that is, the ones who are implied to have power) are the “Senate" and "Dems." The party that actually did this are left out of it. Seriously our political media is a goddamn joke and these clowns are some of the biggest among them.

You won’t see any of them talking about how the Democratic Pittsburgh City Council just finished 2 years of work to eliminate middle and low income people’s medical debt. But if they can find a way to be divisive about some other local issue, they’ll jump on it.

The idea that "I can criticize Democrats more because I hold them to higher standards" doesn't hold up when it results in their unemployment and Republicans gaining power. After a while, people need to realize that this approach is toxic and not strategic.

If only there was an industry devoted to informing the public instead treating the future of the country as a sports game combined with a giant ego trip which is what we have our free press right now.

Renewable energy is less costly than fossil fuel energy and needs to be in our future in order to meet demand. Republicans’ war on renewable energy is nonsensical on several levels, but I’m glad individual states recognize what needs to be done. This is also an excellent way to utilize land that’s been damaged by PFAs, a contaminant that Biden set limits on that the Trump administration rolled back.
