Why winning the Senate matters: - Only it can remove a President from office - Only it can approve treaties - Only it approves cabinet Secretaries - Only it can approve military promotions - Only it can approve judges - Only it can remove Supreme Court justices - It must approve all legislation

Yep. A big part of conservatism is in-group identification and demonization of out-groups. Democrats are a hated out-group. This really shows up when Republicans run in actual elections. GOP voters might realize that Trump sucks, but they just can't bring themselves to vote for the Democrat.

The Judge had the discretion to dismiss WITHOUT prejudice but in a censure of how prosecutors played loose & fast with what they knew to be the evidence in this case, has dismissed WITH prejudice. The gov’t is out of business in this one.

Also, the American welfare state exists explicitly because mutual aid failed in the face of the Great depression! We used to have a large mutual aid infrastructure in this country, but it just wasn't enough!

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot by ICE 10 days ago. The bullet is still lodged in his back. He’s been forced to sleep on the floor and hasn’t been given medication, according to his attorney. Now DHS is claiming he assaulted an agent. Can we trust anything DHS says given its track record?

Wow! Schmitt didn’t just get it wrong, his team was warned the texts were unvetted, but he used them anyway. Not only that, Chuck Grassley’s Judiciary staff left the texts out of its own hearing memo. Schmitt’s team went digging for them, then used them to accuse Jack Smith of perjury.

Transit agency websites should have a “How to pay your fare” page that’s linked prominently from the home page. When I get to a new city, I don’t need instructions on how to ride the bus or train; that’s the same everywhere. I need instructions on paying, which is different everywhere.
